Bol Bol will be Phoenix Suns' answer to Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren
If Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are the future, so is Bol Bol. Plus, he has advantages they don't.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Nice satire piece, George. I'm sure The Onion will love it.

[Shabazz]

Please no more Greg Moore on this site.

[TOO]

That site asked me to pay to read that. Lol.

[specialsauce]

That site asked me to pay to read that. Lol.

The site should pay us to read that

[LazarusLong]

Please no more Greg Moore on this site.

Greg Moore is to the Arizona Republic as Kevin Malone was to The Office ...

[Carno]

Do they keep it really cold in their conference room or something? How many of you Phoenicians are wearing a coat right now?

[JeremyG]

Haha, I was gonna say, I hope he wasn't wearing that outside in the 119 degree weather yesterday!

[LazarusLong]

He's from Khartoum, so he probably knows how to cope with heat ...

Tim Hardaway, Sr., on Bol Bol: "I think he's better than Victor"



Interestingly, he also confirms Gambo's reporting that Vogel did not want the Suns to trade Ayton.

[Split T]

Why would Tim Hardaway know anything?

[JeremyG]

About Vogel? I'm sure he talks to a lot of people in the know.

[Split T]

Why does Tim Hardaway talk to people in the know? Is he trying to become a media guy? I guess I’ve never seen him as a media guy. Just a retired player with a son in the league.

[TOO]

Tim Hardaway isn't an insider, insiders have big parent companies that pay teams for their information so Shams and Woj can break news, also that Carton guy is a shitty hot take wanna be, he's a clown.

[JeremyG]

I meant more like friends around the league. As a former player, he probably knows lots of people.

[Split T]

Maybe…he hasn’t played in 20 years though.

[In2ition]

Maybe he still knows people around the league while his son plays?

[Split T]

Maybe…just seems strange because as far as I know he has no connection to Phoenix, Vogel, or anyone with the suns. I don’t watch a lot of ESPN but I’ve never really even seen him commenting on the league or reporting anything at all. I admit ignorance here, but I just assume I would’ve seen something on Twitter or other media with him more often if he had reports.

I feel like it would be similar to Dan Majerle reporting on something he heard about Dame Lillard. It could potentially be true, but he’s not a reliable source of information.

[Split T]

Ok I finally watched the video…Hardaway isn’t even reporting anything or confirming anything. He could simply just be repeating other people’s reports. That seems way more likely to me. He said it like any of us would say it after reading Gambo’s reports.
