SACRAMENTO -- The Kings have agreed to a one-year veteran minimum deal with free agent center Precious Achiuwa, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania, adding some needed frontcourt depth to a struggling team. In a corresponding move to generate roster space, the Kings released second-year center Isaac Jones, sources said, opting for a more veteran presence to bolster their rotation. Achiuwa is in his sixth NBA season.
but I believe the circumstances suggest more of a bet-on-yourself move (shout out Fred VanVleet) for Boucher. Boston has made it very clear to the NBA world that after losing Jayson Tatum to a gutting Achilles injury and facing a growing luxury tax, they were not shy about shedding dollars across the board, trading key pieces from their title run like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and likely letting Al Horford walk in free agency.
