Precious having really gotten a chance to play in Toronto looks nowhere close to being a legit NBA starter or maybe even rotation player. I understand he was the big "get" in the Lowry deal, but I don't think he's a particularly intriguing player and as pointed out above, the Chicago kids are younger with what appears to me to be more upside.
Troy Brown Jr and a 2nd for Boucher seems simpler and logical for both imo.
I have to agree here. At this point, Boucher is in the middle of a down season, at age 29, and an expiring contract. His value is definitely distressed compared to what he should’ve been this past summer. But, I’d have to say that I think Coby and Dosunmo are both more valuable in trade than either of what Toronto is sending out. In theory, a 1st Wouk shave to be going to Chicago, not from Chicago.
But I also don’t see either team having interest in this specific swap. I see Chicago investing long term in Dowunmo, and somewhat Coby. I see Toronto also wanting to wait out Achiuwa and see what they can develop there, even if it takes the full rookie contract.
