@benrogers the reality is under nick nurse, he just used boucher for 3 pt shooting, hustle and defence. nurse didnt teach boucher how to play basketball really off ball other than shoot the 3. so darko is in a way teaching chris boucher where he should go or not go when he doesnt have the ball to impact winning on the team. this is so chris boucher doesnt make bone head plays as a veteran that makes him a liability.
Everyone is always so focused on the exact words Darko uses. Just look at the context more often and he is simply saying Chris has been a great guy and has surprisingly allowed me to coach him (thats praise). Meaning he is starting to adapt to my ball movement heavy system and I appreciate his maturity. Not that he is publicly taking shots at the guy. Seen this on a few videos ago too where people legit look at his comments and get all salty about them. The dudes a nice guy at the very least, no need to assume otherwise. If he says something slightly off, get over it and apply the propper context vs the "gatcha" context. People grow at 32 still, some do, some don't. Plenty of examples of players reinventing their game so I not sure why its out the question that Boucher could learn how to swing the ball ?
@@IceManLikeGervin Well, your comment from the other day is what I was talking about. Seeing his surface level words and not giving benefit of the doubt. I want to see Boucher out there too, especially on this team. I just don't see how we throwing him under the bus before actually knowing the outcome? He says he will play so why assume otherwise?
@@IceManLikeGervin I mean you also throwing Darko under the bus not long ago for not winning games with a Gleague roster. Cool stat from last year was +14 per 100 posession with BBQ+Yak in 200 minutes. Was during our one good and healthy stretch we had. Knowing that, not sure why he can't be given some time to prove his worth with an actual balanced roster that is also healthy ya know?
Saying that we have too many people at Kisperts position is part of the problem. None of those guys are showing 3pt career stats when Kispert is. We keep filling our positions with mediocre.
We filled our positions with unknown?? Thats how rebuilding works lol, you get young guys and take a crack at developing them. In order to play on a playoff NBA court, you need to be able to play defence or be an ELITE offensive player. Kispert is neither.. if you are desperate for help winning regular season games, sure. Why would be desperate to win regular season games 6 months into a rebuild?
@@YakDPOY Quickley, Barrett, GTJ shot over 38% from 3pt in a season and they might have been the only Raptors that have done it for a decade. Meanwhile every other team has a couple over 40%. Our bigs are the same thing. They are mediocre and always have been since Ibaka...even when we weren't in rebuild
@@ericjakob Yep, you need 3 point shooting for sure. Again though, if you can shoot 3s but can't defend. You won't be om the court when it matters and we don't need to pile up wins in our first rebuild season. The goal is to develop 3 shooters who aren't pylons either, not trade for some wins and non playoff players. Things need time to happen, we do need 3 point shooting though for sure. GD, IQ, RJ and even Scottie getting better is a good start. So if we can get some defenders to develop their shot. We couldn't be more golden.. which is what Masai does. Draft defensive talent and try to teach them how to shoot as opposed to draft shooters and teach them how to defend (GD being the opposite, so closer to a Kispert but way more all around potential). This season we don't need any trades unless its cashing in vets for picks. Speeding up rebuilds generally backfires.. Knicks did it for 30 years As for Poeltl, thats just wild. To put it nicely, do you understand basketball and do you have any clue what he brings to the table? He is a top 15 Center easily, especially since he provides the most important qualities a Center can provide at an Elite level. 5 out spacing isn't worth it if you Center can't be an anchor or rebound. He is ELITE at both, I know the stats too because of how many people I have clowned on the subject. Saying Poeltl isn't a good Center is honestly a joke st this point. If I have to I can break it down but I a bit tired or doing it. Anyway, you not wrong on 3 shooting, I just don't understand the rush nor do I see the rush for a non defensive 3 shooter is all
raptors are in rebuild. no need to take someone older that is gonna cost too much in a contract year killing flexibility. you think the wizards are not gonna ask for at least a top 12 protected 1st for kispert? and kispert isnt necessarily a great defender either. just develop young guys and get as high a pick as you can next 2-3 years as players develop. its not like raptors have a bench right now to compete either.
What is wrong with Darkos comment? He is teaching boucher to fit in his offense. darko is a developmental coach. Even if bouche dont fit then at least his value will be upped. Good comment to say he treat players like rookies. States his commitment to teaching. Trade rumours again? Nah this year is stage 1.5 of rebuild. Focus on development and then trade for need. I really want KO at the 4 and a bu 5 in development offa the bench. Combining what they learn from both jak an KO will be valuable to the young 5
no man boucher is 31 and been in the league 7 years and is a veteran. its says chris boucher doesnt know how to play basketball other than what nick nurse used him for. means boucher doesnt know how to play off ball to impact winning. if chris boucher wants regular minutes, he has to know where to go and not go to and learn how to play off ball rather than just sitting in the corner and shoot a 3. by doing this he is trying to boost chris boucher trade value also and get chris boucher paid in the next contract.
We need a defensive to at least neutral or better big wing. I project RJB at SG. We have PG locked, SG too many! I think G Dick will end up playing SF mostly yes I know RJ is 6’6” but IQ and our PGs are small if you put RJ and Ja’Kobe at SG you keep that position decent to big. SF we are undersized and experienced as Most folks saw SB as a natural PF in a recent poll on real GM. CB, J-Mo, KO, all PF to C. BF, JP straight C Our best move is to use BB and small draft capital to upgrade starting SF since we turned OG into a starting PG and SG. ATL Hunter, Nets C Johnson (my favorite) or Finney-Smith, A Wiggins, Dillon B there are some but not a lot. All have some flaw but not asking them to be a top 3 option or be an Allstar just give some decent starter level play. If FO does not want that we should tank to ensure we get one in draft or longer term C. I love JP but even MJ and LBJ were 27-28 before winning a Chip. SB and RJ are 23/24 we need to have a player help them get experience and then trade for final piece down the line. We need JP to be backup by then at less $ if he wants to stay?
in a rebuild bringing in an expensive player and giving up draft capital is a non starter. hunter is not worth trading for with that contract. cam johnson is not worth trading for with that contract either with his injury history and age. dfs will cost you 2 picks to get. andrew wiggins is making too much and knowing the warriors they will ask for a 1st round pick also. rockets are not trading dillion brooks. in a rebuild the raptors likely will trade jakob poeltl since it doesnt matter if they are in a rebuild and if they have a bad start. there are centers available next year, and though they may take a year or two to develop, in a rebuild there is no rush. the next 2 years draft is strong so it means the raptors can get good pieces to build the team and fill it out around the core.
you really have to trade jakob poeltl this year where his value is high and you can get a 1st round pick. if he slows down with age you wont be able to move him as he becomes less playable being slow and not shooting the 3. he basically turns into a nurkic. they need to boost boucher value by playing him where he can get back a late 1st if possible. when they bottom out they need to trade kelly olynyk, as he is 33 and wont bring back a 1st after this year.
@@FillGaps Your idea would just hard cap this teams growth and become forever mediocre. You not wrong in our needs but we just started the rebuild.. if you rush it now we will never progress. I with you on JP though.. he is a fine Center but just may age out at some point. I do wonder if he coukd play till like 36 37 though.. he got that lanky thin but still big body type like Al Horford or Jabbar types who play kate in career. Why i think we just need to train up our own Centers, especially since there are no Centers to trade for that are an uograde at all
@@giovanni-ed7zq Hi in the video are options for a trade, IF IF IF we make one??? IF we make one mine are better than the ones in video. My official stance has been since we did not trade BB draft night or 10-12 days into FA is to tank hard and trade BB when you can this season. That could be for less value hopefully a bad contract and a late first in the future. Might be 2 seconds. However, I think the FO needs to not drag this (rebuild/tank) out to a 3 year tank because you will likely lose SB and IQ over it. In the 2025 draft use your 2025 pick, 2026 Pacers pick and maybe future second on a C for future and a big def wing that is a 3-D kind of an OG lite player. Then start the winning culture from there. Trade JP when Ulrich or the 2025 draft pick looks like they will be a starter. Use future assets to supplement the core developed from 2024-25 drafts & BBQ. All that said if the video is on trade that’s what I’m going to talk about. Cheers!
@@Mohamedhassan-eu6wx Those dudes are available??? Maybe Richards sure, though we don't have assets they be looking for I doubt it.. unless they in the market for picks which wouldn't make muchh sense since they been bottom of the pack for so long. Our youngins are all so unproven and in a horrid draft class so they not worth much till offseason atleast. Herb Jones is available?? Thought BI was not Herb. We gonna give up our only Center for him? Then what, not a lot of good Centers floating around
It's not really a "pass-first" offense. It's about movement and getting quality shots. NN basically taught a James Harden style of play where 1 person dribbles, and everyone stands there and waits for a bailout shot. That's not basketball
Corey Kispert, Duncan Robinson, and Lonzo Ball doesn’t make any sense at all unless a 2025 with limited protection or an unprotected first round pick attached to it. If there was any time to be losing games and tanking, this is the season to do it. I just don’t see how any of three guys can take us to the next level.
I’ve generally admired the Darko nurtures his relationships with his players, but I really disapprove of the way he has treated Chris Boucher. He essentially benched Boucher for the second half of the season last year, for no explicable reason. It was confounding. But at the start of the season their relationship appeared to have been mended and they both said they had great conversations over the off-season. Yet now Darko is saying he is treating the respected 30 year old vet like a rookie and won’t commit to him even being in the rotation. That’s really disrespectful and he should stop.
Raps have 2 glaring holes in the 2nd unit (bigs) (wings - outside the starters, our wings are weak and inexperienced), gonna need Fernando, and Boucher as bigs (who both have a chance to take this season and show the NBA they're worth another contract). Successful teams run a 3 PG system, hope Shead works out - if not Ball is interesting. Aside from KO, Mitchell, and BB, and Fernando, Raps have 3rd stringers on their bench (98%) 1st, 2nd year rookies learning on the fly. Gonna need two of those rookies to show they can play ball - if Chomche is ne of them, that would be sweet!
from what bruno showed i dunno if they need to sign him. just use the gleaguers 50 games to fill in as they go for a high pick this year. bruno is a khem birch. he cant ball handle, he cant shoot, and he cant pass, and he is slow. and its not like bruno is a mobile 7 ft plus center either.
Darko is all BS about Chris!!! He realizes Chris was benched and they didn't unload him, so he needs minutes so they can get something, anything for him. Darko is making mistakes time after time with his more experienced players. He thinks he doesn't have to deal with them, and they will just disappear! He thinks he only inherited young players. It's time Darko to look at what you really have. Most of us know he is just telling more stories about the true fate of a seasoned Raptor. Chris is gone as soon as they can get rid of him.
@@di_from_north4460 would you have preferred he said he hates Chris and that he will never play him? What words would have made you happy? What reason has he given you to think he is some "snake" or whatever it is you believe. What other vet players is he making mistakes with? We don't have any others for most of his tenure lol
@@di_from_north4460 What did he lie about? He wanted him to get more acclimated into a ball movement system.. he worked with him and Boucher took it well. Now he will play him more. What more do you need? You got evidence that he won't play or something? Some fortune teller tell you that? If it is for trade value.. why would it matter? Boucher is an old guy with potential value still. Sending the guy to a contender would be the worst outcome because reasons?
@@di_from_north4460 I mean its just months and months (years and years really) of complaining about the same things and most of its either nonsense or unproven. The guy told you he worked with Boucher and they came a long way and that he going to play and you people still complain. Its all this fanbase does lol, complain complain complain
Bruh. I don’t care about Chris Boucher, he’s actually not that good of a basketball player at his position. Needs to be traded or benched for someone that can bring more than just energy.
Boucher is not a good basketball player at his position. We need someone with more size and much more foot work and a post game at that position. Boucher has none of those. He’s actually trash. This isn’t even a headline.
@@leonrichard7105 Lol, I hear you. He didn't bother me at first but he does now. Ben eggs him on too so it will probably never end.. modern day basketball chatter is now this garbage
It's predictable that these trade options brought up by American media make no sense for the Raptors. They never do. Every option is an overpaid player that teams are looking to unload in a terrible deal for the Raps.
Hey yall, I’m not a Raptors fan but i decided to do a realistic Raptors franchise rebuild in 2K. Can you guys give me like any direction or trade ideas for my rebuild?
@@LoganLun-e5v Name me some better defending Centers than Yak that also shoot 3s. I can think of two, now add in rebounding. Still 2.. Unless you forgot Yak is one of the best anchors in basketball? Hartenstein is a poor man's Poeltl yet he is praised lol
@@Mormue_goat4 To me, our franchise rebuild requires a young Center to learn under the ones we have (Comche or someone else) and getting a real PF to slide RJ to the 2. A SF could work too because Scottie is a bit slow footed and is actually great in the paint of defence. Hr can perimeter defend too but his best defensive skills are at the basket being a large dude. Yak is fine Center but will just be too old most likely by time we contend (though he has the body type to play in his later years so who knows). So if you got a good 3/4 player and finished out the depth of the team I would say you nailed it. People act like Yak isn't a high IQ top 3 anchor on planet earth the who actually rebounds at the same rate as the top rebounders but just doesn't play 36 minutes. You can't have an entire team of all stars contrary to popular belief so unless you can trade for Wemby or Embiid, I not sure what the easy path to an upgrade is. Guys like Claxton aren't improvements, more like side trade. Claxton can't guard true bigs and doesn't have the passing vision or IQ as an anchor. He gives you flashier blocks, a lob target and potentially shoot 3s (highly unproven). But Yak always has high pnr point per posession anyway (top of the league even) so I don't see the fuss. Its just because he didnt dunk it I guess? Long way of saying, good luck with the Center position but a defending 3/4 and depth is the way to me
@benrogers the reality is under nick nurse, he just used boucher for 3 pt shooting, hustle and defence. nurse didnt teach boucher how to play basketball really off ball other than shoot the 3. so darko is in a way teaching chris boucher where he should go or not go when he doesnt have the ball to impact winning on the team. this is so chris boucher doesnt make bone head plays as a veteran that makes him a liability.

@@di_from_north4460 What did he lie about? He wanted him to get more acclimated into a ball movement system.. he worked with him and Boucher took it well. Now he will play him more. What more do you need? You got evidence that he won't play or something? Some fortune teller tell you that? If it is for trade value.. why would it matter? Boucher is an old guy with potential value still. Sending the guy to a contender would be the worst outcome because reasons?
@@di_from_north4460 I mean its just months and months (years and years really) of complaining about the same things and most of its either nonsense or unproven. The guy told you he worked with Boucher and they came a long way and that he going to play and you people still complain. Its all this fanbase does lol, complain complain complain
@@YakDPOY I am glad he will play. I want him to be traded to a team that wants him on their roster. You are in la la la la land.
Whoever made those trade ideas needs to be fired now
@@windowman9665 Come on mang, Lonzo Ball could bring us D'Angelo and we could become the Kardashians of the NBA. You gotta think big!
They gotta be hired first - not exactly NBA GM material
@benrogers chris boucher is learning how to be an effective off ball player
Bruh. I don’t care about Chris Boucher, he’s actually not that good of a basketball player at his position. Needs to be traded or benched for someone that can bring more than just energy.
Boucher a bum hope he remains on the bench until the trade deadline. Same goes for Bruce Bum.
do you ever breathe
Let Boucher start. He'll grab more boards them siakam and put up around 14ppg
Bro your iq is sad. In what world would boucher be a starter😂 just say you don't know basketball
@comohbeatz4846 sometimes you gotta think outside the box. Byb your comment I can tell you're a moron so I couldn't expect that from you
Boucher is not a good basketball player at his position. We need someone with more size and much more foot work and a post game at that position. Boucher has none of those. He’s actually trash. This isn’t even a headline.
🤢🤮🤕 at these attendance comments. You clicked on the video, congratulations
Agreed!!! Not to mention that fool that yells: "Aye!" in every Raps video comment section.
@@leonrichard7105 Lol, I hear you. He didn't bother me at first but he does now. Ben eggs him on too so it will probably never end.. modern day basketball chatter is now this garbage
First!
Third
second!
It's predictable that these trade options brought up by American media make no sense for the Raptors. They never do. Every option is an overpaid player that teams are looking to unload in a terrible deal for the Raps.
Hey yall, I’m not a Raptors fan but i decided to do a realistic Raptors franchise rebuild in 2K. Can you guys give me like any direction or trade ideas for my rebuild?
Trade jakob and bruce brown for a star center that can play lockdown defence but still space the floor
@@LoganLun-e5v Name me some better defending Centers than Yak that also shoot 3s. I can think of two, now add in rebounding. Still 2.. Unless you forgot Yak is one of the best anchors in basketball?
Hartenstein is a poor man's Poeltl yet he is praised lol
@@Mormue_goat4 To me, our franchise rebuild requires a young Center to learn under the ones we have (Comche or someone else) and getting a real PF to slide RJ to the 2. A SF could work too because Scottie is a bit slow footed and is actually great in the paint of defence. Hr can perimeter defend too but his best defensive skills are at the basket being a large dude. Yak is fine Center but will just be too old most likely by time we contend (though he has the body type to play in his later years so who knows). So if you got a good 3/4 player and finished out the depth of the team I would say you nailed it. People act like Yak isn't a high IQ top 3 anchor on planet earth the who actually rebounds at the same rate as the top rebounders but just doesn't play 36 minutes. You can't have an entire team of all stars contrary to popular belief so unless you can trade for Wemby or Embiid, I not sure what the easy path to an upgrade is. Guys like Claxton aren't improvements, more like side trade. Claxton can't guard true bigs and doesn't have the passing vision or IQ as an anchor. He gives you flashier blocks, a lob target and potentially shoot 3s (highly unproven). But Yak always has high pnr point per posession anyway (top of the league even) so I don't see the fuss. Its just because he didnt dunk it I guess? Long way of saying, good luck with the Center position but a defending 3/4 and depth is the way to me
I think he’s talking about making that trade on 2K rather than real life.
@@adrianau6679 I thought that at first but he said "realistic"
This is not a play off line up
