Guys like Washington and Clarke are interesting but probably cost more than we should or would be willing to pay. I know they've "disappointed" but they're still young enough that their teams will expect some level of compensation for what they COULD be and not just what they are.
Theis would be a good play and financially a deal like Theis+House for Prince works, with a couple of 2nds to balance things out.
I would suggest Tristan Thompson but I think KAT hates him so he's out. Dwight Powell is in a similar mold and might be worth looking into, depending on what Dallas does.
I wonder if the Pacers would be interested in a move. Turner would be the pie in the sky deal that would cost more than we're discussing here but I wonder if Goga would be available.
Finally, I'd throw out Udoka from the Jazz. Might not cost much, especially if we can reduce the tax bill for them, and he's thicc which is exactly what we need.
Boucher hit plenty of threes last year but he had a hand injury to start the season and hasn’t been able to find his place in the rotation. A good part of it is his fault but it’s also because he doesn’t fit on the team anymore.
He needs to play beside a real Center and we don’t have one. He also is a low iq offensive player and we have too much of that on our roster right now so it exacerbates the problem. Toronto needs yuta watanabe playing his minutes because he keeps the ball moving and makes smart plays off ball.
Boucher will still be solid on another team but I’d give him away for a second at this point.
