He'll catch on somewhere quick. He's still interesting.. just not really a winning player at all.

I will remember Bolsanity fondly

Good job FO.

Found a guy. Boosted his value and waived him. Great management of assets.

Should have traded him in January when he was getting 15mpg.

Sounds like they may have been trying to trade him. I guess nobody wanted him.

I wish the experiment could have continued, but I think Mo is better for this team. Bol is still super intriguing with skills and size, but giving him a defined role on a winning team is tough. I'm glad he was able to show that he has NBA caliber skills though.

Sounds like nobody was biting. Takes two to tango.

Ideally you do it in like February after that big November he had but perhaps there was still hope for him here. He's tantalizing because if he cuts down on the dumb stuff he can be a rotational backup big but it never came.

Sounds like this FO has a hard time tango-ing in most situations.

There are one or two die-hard Bol fans that are going to be pissed, and they have been arguing that Bol should be considered a core piece!

I may be confusing this forum with Reddit haha.

Anyway, The Bol-er-coaster rides comes to an end, it was fun for a couple of weeks.

He was 15th in my roster, i would put him over Okeke.

Bol World was fun for a while but this was the right move to make.

I am often confused by fans saying WeltHam is inactive, lazy, and/or coasting.

Starting Lineup Last year

Fultz-Acquired via trade
Gary-Acquired via trade
Franz-Acquired via trade
Paolo-
WCjr-Acquired via trade

Magic Fans: OMG the summer when we overpaid Biyombo and Jeff Green was so embarrassing we don't have to spend money just because we have it!

Also Magic Fans: Why the hell are WeltHam sitting on our hands!!! we are one of the few teams with Capspace! Sign somebody....Anybody!!!

I remember arguing here not so long ago that Bol is not part of our core

WillyJakkz will be sad (on the GB) - considered him our core with P5 and Franz

Lol, there were so many delusional fans. They had me convinced for a second, lol.

Bol was absolutely a rotational backup big at some point.. although it wasn't helping us win. His playstyle seems to only lend himself to being integrated as a big piece because he doesn't do enough of the little things to be a role guy.
