Jake Fischer: The Knicks are still open to my understanding in finding front court depth. They got their backup guard in Jose Alvarado. Could they find a nice young center there? We'll see. I mean, I think one of the more intriguing big men on the buyout market right now is Chris Boucher. He'll have some interest as a vet minimum guy. He might be the best shooting big man available you can add. George Niang will be available. He needs to get healthy, but George Niang is going to be someone who can provide some front court shooting help.

Michael Scotto: The Utah Jazz plan to waive Chris Boucher, a league source told @hoopshype. Boucher will have the opportunity to sign with a playoff team and is expected to draw interest. He’s averaged 8.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in his nine-year NBA career.

Yossi Gozlan: This leaves the Celtics just $3.6 million above the luxury tax line. They're on the cusp of getting under it entirely. They could trade 3 additional minimum salaried players for nothing and have enough space below the tax line to backfill the roster without exceeding it later.

Teams have probed the Pelicans on the availability of Trey Murphy III, but New Orleans’s asking price has been high. Chicago has fielded calls on Coby White, sources say. Boston could off-load Chris Boucher in a salary dump.
