ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski had the news of Chris Boucher resigning with the Raptors, while Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium had the news that free agent Aron Baynes was heading there.

Schefter, described as “a hardcore NBA junkie” by Richard Deitsch at Sports Illustrated in 2016, has been doing some NBA work for ESPN since then, including occasional sideline reporting.
