Crazy Idea: Trade for Bol Bol

[TylerDurden]

I feel like he would be the perfect complement to LaMelo...  a modern day big with a versatile game, can handle, can stretch the floor, can run the floor, can work in the post, would be ideal in the pick and roll with his dive potential, and still could change the game with his length and athleticism on defense.

I don't know how much Denver values him, but he hardly gets any burn despite flashing huge potential and putting up numbers when he's been given the minutes.

I think this is the perfect move we could make to address our big problems...  then sign Cousins.

What say you?

Pass. He's not much of a scorer, he doesn't get boards, or block shots. I'd rather stick with the two young guys the team already has at center and see what they can do than make a trade for another team's castoff. And heck no to Cousins. He's on the downside of his career and still does too much stupid poo.

I was just looking for a cheaper alternative with super high upside still on a low risk move...  on the obvious, higher end of the equation, I'm eyeing Porzingis, Myles Turner, and John Collins in no particular order.

Collins wants big cash

Understandable, but maybe they should give Carey and Richards this coming season to see if one of them can be good enough to take the job. If neither works out, then make a trade or attempt at a free agent.

Pass. Sorry he’s simply not worth it. I wasn’t too impressed with his performance in the Hawks’ playoff run.

[Shocker]

I don't think Bol is the answer but this team is so starved for a big man the idea isn't crazy.  Nice job OP.  Bol has really good talent but I just cant see him staying healthy on big minutes in this league.

Nope as a nuggets fan, he isn't playing because of the weight he lost in college and wanting him to add nba weight

Also Zeke Nanji will be better than bol

YIKES -- lol

Turner is the only mildly reasonable name on the list. Contract isn't the best but it's probably palatable since you'd only have it for two more seasons. You'd have to trade Terry most likely to match the salary and I'm guessing that Indiana will want an additional asset (PJ or a pick). Not sure that's worth it.

John Collins is awesome, but he's going to want the bag and he just adds to our logjam at PF. Would need to trade out some other pieces for this to make sense.

Porzingis shouldn't be on your list. Dude is making $30+ for the next 3 years and isn't worth half of that.

Hope Denver frees that man but I’d like a center with strength for a change
