Boucher, Yuta and Malachi Flynn for Coby White and Marko Simonovic.
Both Boucher and Yuta don't fit our timeline in their late 20s as expirings. Yuta is a quality defender with size, Boucher can be really impactful with the right matchup. Flynn has some potential but doesn't fit the Raps play style.
No way in h-e-double hockey sticks (seemed especially appropriate once I remembered you are a Raps fan
). Boucher is solid, but has become severely overrated around here. Coby while flawed became severely underrated due to an understandable horrid streak coming back from injury plus a myriad of other factors that a strangely huge number of smart people here just decided to ignore.
Bulls fans have forgotten playoff basketball. They think Demar and Zach are going to just waltz around and do their thing as they are so far this season. I think they're both going to be really good, but it gets a lot harder as you probably know. Coby's ability to create his own shots, and shots for others at times will be invaluable once we hit playoff intensity, and teams start game-planning for DD/Zach.
I'm certainly open to trading the guy, but not for anyone that can't generate offense. Boucher while valuable, is not that guy from what I've seen.
Hey I get it, but I wasn’t intending to come in here to propose some rip off trade. Thought it made sense given your team needs. The main player in the trade for you guys was actually Yuta who is quite a solid defender at the 3/4. Can protect the rim(and get dunked on epically too) also a decent three point shooter and ball mover. Really he is an under the radar guy that I think will be in high demand at the deadline from a contender. Boucher as I said is a very situational player. Kind of guy who can turn a game around or you might have to bench.
