I voted for Bamba, but I wonder if Bol Bol should be on the list too...

still holding out hope that Christian Wood, unable to find a decent offer, tries to rehab his image on a one year with the lakers, ala Malik Monk.

Whoever this is should expect no mins during the regular season but should Lakers play Nuggets in April - June, he might be needed to take Hayes mins and just body up Jokic and hold on for dear life. Bamba and Bol are highest upside signings. Wood is best value signing. All 3 do nothing to help gains Jokic. I think it has to be Biymobo, TT or Dieng.

Out of this list definitely Bamba, but I'd prefer to go w/ Wood if he is available somehow. I'd be also ok w/ Biyombo. If neither of them signs w/ us then I'd be ok w/ Huff, Bol Bol or Tristan as well - but it wouldn't matter that much at that point: I doubt that any of them will have any significant playing time over Hayes in most of the season.

I definitely wouldn't like to see Harrell, Blake Griffin or Taj Gibson... They are both bad fit and probably done in this league.

Give Bamba rightful chance he was going to stop Jokic but didn't recover on time to see the court.

I’m okay with Bamba or Thompson or Wood.

Just watch Bol Bol's highlights , he's not a stiff or untalented . Orlando locked into Carter,Banchero,wagner as their 3 frontcourt players from the start and stuck to it. They're ok but at best they'll still be a .500 team. They have no shot blockers on the team and lack a rim runner.
Bol Bol is unique and can score easily and block with the best of them ,what he can't do is keep the big boys from bullying in the paint. Bol is going to be in that Porzingis,Holmgren ,Pokuzevski,Wembanyama category of slim talented tall players.
I think he'd be in the right place with the Wiz,Spurs ,Dallas ,Lakers or Portland .

From FA’s I’ll go with Wood, but trade I’d go after Isaiah Jackson.

He was going to stop Jokic, but he didn't want to be the one to ruin the run, so he asked for his ankle to keep being hurt.

Bamba out... I honestly don't know who should be the next up... I just think it'd be silly to grab one of the under-sized modern style Cs, when we're already stacked with 6-8, 6-9 guys... We need big and long and natural blocking and rebounding ability...

Lol, Wood is in the Whiteside mode. Me only type of player. Nobody wants him.

He's China bound.
