Toronto Raptors: Chris Boucher



Chris Boucher is the last of the 2019 championship-winning Raptors, but his time with the franchise may be coming to an end. The Raptors were not good this season, but the hope is they'll have a Detroit Pistons-like turnaround with health and the trade-deadline addition of Brandon Ingram.

The Ingram trade increased the Raptors' payroll into luxury-tax territory, which is a bit high for an unproven roster that may not be quite close enough to contention.

Look for the Raptors to shop a player like RJ Barrett to reduce payroll. Depending on the result, that may open an opportunity for Boucher to return.

If not, he could be the target of a team looking for size and shooting. He's 6'9" but has a long wingspan and has built a career as an energy player. His range could be from the minimum to about $8 million.
