Pretty clear we are trading Ayton & Payne for Dame, so we’ll need another center and Bol Bol solves that.


Dame-Beal-Book-KD-Bol Bol

Gordon-Okogie-Yuta-KBD-Eubanks

Goodwin-DLee-Ish-Toonami Camara-Metu

Not bad.
There's no way we'd start Bol Bol even if that were true, surely?
Please forgive WW's misdirected infatuation. Dame ain't joining this group. I love him as much as the next guy but no matter how much WW tries to speak it into existence, it ain't happening.

Good for Dario. He will be good for them.
I hope not.
If Dario Saric has any impact in preventing the Suns from winning it all, then there is something wrong with the Suns.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

You're right. I wish him well against everybody other than the Suns. Even when we play the Warriors, I'm not too worried about him being the difference maker. He's a good dude. I wish him the best in life.

I'm not much into Bol Bol on the Suns, but it's never been because of him being a "distraction" or for "drama".

I think I've known about his career pretty well going back to his college days, did I miss something?
I’m the opposite. His talent is intriguing and if the Suns do sign him I’ll be excited to see how he develops.

By “distraction,” I just mean the crazy hype/attention that follows him wherever he goes.

Are they also standing tall and talented?

If we're adding Bol, our average height just go a lot taller. The talented part is what is in question. But we should find out STAT!

The biggest reason why I'm skeptical of Bol is because his game hasn't evolved at all. He's yet to show an ability or willingness to consistently fit into a team oriented scheme. He'll always be an "in theory" player until he shows me otherwise.

I'm not sure what Chicago is going to do in their backcourt. They picked up Pat Beverley, resigned Coby White, signed Jevon Carter, and still have Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso.

Where does that leave Ayo Dosunmu?

Huh? We have no picks left to give, and if Cronin trades Dame for Ayton/Payne straight up he deserves to be fired.

Worse than fired, actually, but y’know, there are laws.

Pat Bev isn't with Chicago now. He signed a 1 year deal with the Sixers.
