$7.722 million Room Exception FA Targets

Should we pick up Bol Bol?

Really don't understand why Magic waiving him. Didn't he had some kind of breakout season?

He had a breakout month or two but apparently didn’t sustain it

[SuperBad]

He was suppose to be a lottery pick, we passed him up two times in the first round( I remember being confused why) . He must be lazy, or just a pain in the ass to have around cause the talent is not enough for people to want him.

[Spider156]

Not getting Bol Bol is the reason we extended Bagley. We traded for Bol Bol on January 2022. We extended Bagley on June 2022. If that trade went through, I don’t think Bagley would’ve been extended. It probably would’ve been Bol Bol. But now we’re stuck with Bagley.

[Sort]

Bol Bol went from a starter where one of his teammates said he was the real Wemby to reserve to cut. I always thought he was walking injury, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Pistons could make it so they are stuck with Bagley and Bol Bol if they want, but didn't Detroit reject the trade because he didn't pass the physical?

Does seem like there is more to this story...

Should we pick up Bol Bol?

Even if we weren’t stuck with Bagley, I’d still say no. I think he gets claimed by Charlotte or Washington. No real risk, they can afford to claim him, and no real plan for this season.

[SuperBad]

San Antonio should pick him up and have him back Wemby

[A_dub06]

Should we pick up Bol Bol?

I think we definitely should! I don’t care that we have a glut of bigs, waive or bench Bagley. I even prefer Bol over Stewart tbh, beef stew just doesn’t have the size and will always struggle. He’s still young and has shown some promise plus we aren’t playing for anything important given our moves this offseason and will come cheap.

If there was a stretch four or 3&D type four, I’d be open to the room being used. Since I don’t see that guy in FA or another good fit long term, I’d just save the funds. No need to pay a guy to be the next Bagley.

It'll be interesting to see what $$$ Christian Wood gets this summer after the Mavs went with Grant Williams at the four instead. Seems like he might not get a full MLE deal and could be looking at a much smaller 1 or 2 year deal.

I guarantee that he can get more than the room somewhere. I’d love to add him but Wiseman need to go. We only need three primary bigs.

Dallas may still look to sign-and-trade him even though they likely don't have interest in retaining him as improving defense seemingly was a huge thing for them this summer.

[Canadafan]

Anyone left that we can use this on?
Or part of this on?
Where's Diallo? Did he sign somewhere? I know he doesn't fill a need but maybebif he's struck out we can give him a nice 1 yr deal and let him battle it out with the rook.
We should just start our 2 elite shooters(Harris-SF Bojan-PF) at forward spots and not worry about defense for now. Open it up for Cade Ivey Duren to do their thing.
DUREN Wiseman Bagley
Bojan Stew Livers
Harris Ausar Diallo
Ivey Burks Sasser
Cade Morris Hayes

Morris Burks Harris Bojan are all attractive expirings for a playoff team so maybe someone gets desperate and gives us our PF of the future.
Bagley and Hayes are lost causes for a trade but hopefully they can take over once these vets leave or are traded

After seeing how things have been going, I’d love to offer him the room exception 2 year with team option on the second. We could offer him a starting role. I’d be fun to have him back and he fills a need.

Same. He probably thinks he's worth more so even if we gave him a player option on 2nd yr and he came in with the right attitude then he would be beneficial to us for sure. I'm sure Stew and Duren would keep him in line

I think that this idea just ended with the Beef Stew signing.

[Kilo]

Wood is an attitude problem. Hence why he moves around still after his "breakout" here and why he's still on the market now.

Weaver will take his reclamation swing with this money probably. Don't expect much. No real playing time to dangle for any decent player. I could see McGruder back again even.

[Pharaoh]

Any interest in Darius Bazley with the room exception?

A name I haven't heard in a while but a dude on the trade forum mentioned him as a guy for us.

6'9" & only 23 years old.

Anyone see much of him last year prior to going to Phoenix. Apparently he's a RFA but doubt they match anything given their roster construction.
