The Toronto Raptors moved quickly to bring back two key free agents in the 2022 NBA offseason. According to multiple media reports, the Raptors have agreed to terms with free agents Chris Boucher and Thaddeus Young to keep the two players with the Raptors. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Boucher and the Raptors have reached an agreement on a new three-year contract that will see Boucher receive $35.25 million.
Chris Boucher will return to the Toronto Raptors on a three-year, $35.25 million contract, his agent told ESPN.
Chris Boucher has an average annual salary of $11.75 million per season and will remain on the roster through the 2024-25 season.
Last year in Toronto , Chris Boucher averaged 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game. He played 80 games for the Raptors, starting 9 times and averaging 21.1 minutes per game. The 29-year-old has carved out a good role for himself with the Raptors and will continue to expand in his new contract.
As for Young, Chris Haynes reports that the veteran has agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract to extend his time in Toronto. The agreement would also include performance-related incentives that could increase the overall value of the contract, but it didn't specify what benchmarks Young would need to hit to unlock incentives or how much more he might earn.
Yang has been with NBA since 2007 and has been a journeyman for most of his career. He has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs and Raptors. Last year in Toronto, Young averaged 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals after being transferred from the Spurs at the trade deadline.
