Which is fine if he can be moved for a big or a bigger 3/4 and a backup big.
Dort is clearly the booger in the pudding, fit-wise. I’d like to get value for him before someone takes his spot and he’s even less of an asset than he is now.

When did Dort ever have value? He's more worthless, and overpaid, than Kanter was.

He plays a lot of PF (despite being a little undersized, he is similar size to Draymond), is a pretty good defender from my recollection, and shoots the three well. He is a free agent. I wouldn't want to pay a whole bunch for him but seems like he might be a good fit. Only 24yo.

I don’t think he’s ready to be a creator but that’s a role he’s been in more often than he should be in the regular season. He looks fine when he’s catching and shooting or pump faking and driving. Hopefully this is summer league experimenting and not what his role will be. He’ll look better being the third or fourth option with a point guard who will get him easy looks/lobs.
His main utility to the team is wreaking havoc on defense and rebounding while being a functional option on offense spreading the floor.

He was taking behind the back dribble pullups out of a dead sprint last year and this year just nothing like that. Kinda wild.

we can and should do better than bol bol. we have enough borderline guys on this team as-is. bol bol is rated okay on defense but offensively he'd be another dude who can't shoot and i don't think we want any of those. i'd prefer mo bamba for this reason- he's been a high-ish volume 3pt shooter before, which can keep him on the court offensively.
w/r/t the wolves game... are you being serious? obviously chet holmgren is that big man. if the thunder ever need another big body to put with him for matchup purposes, i'd want something different than bol bol.

Ugh, Grant Williams signs a 4 year deal worth 53 million (roughly 13m/year) with Dallas and it only took Reggie Bullock and an unprotected pick swap to get him. Grant Williams is only 24yo and would strengthen our frontcourt while keeping a shooter on the court. He is very good defensively and kind of a "dog" which we need.
