Front Office cant make decisions confirmed.

Need another six years to assess. Better not make any trades until then.

Joking aside, I’m hoping this is just to give more time on a trade. If it’s not then this FO is asleep at the wheel.

They need to keep him.

Let’s be honest. It doesn’t really matter if he goes or stays. He isn’t going to play many minutes either way.

They'll probably have Bol opt out and give him $5m next year instead of $2m.

Why? The guy barely got playing time towards the end of the season when everyone was healthy. Just cut him loose already so someone else could actually use him.

Prolly better to get a solid backup C. Powell from Dallas, maybe even Biyombo.

I guess he is gone then.

They cant even decide if he is a keeper. Lol

The odds are pretty likely he gets waived.

The only way he returns at this point is if the Magic make a 2-for-1 swap to free up a roster spot. Otherwise the 15th spot will go to another center.

dont see why they didnt keep him and then trade. they could at least get a 2nd for someone hoping he can develop more

Magic traded for him thinking he would develop, lol. His clock is ticking.

Seems like that would be why they’ve delayed…looking for offers…clearly no one beating down the door. It is a very favorable deal, just like Goga…but we have no room in the rotation, so would be a shrewd move to find a buyer before waiving.

Although, despite the heavy movement of 2rps this past year - ORL seems to put zero value on them (once acquired). There are some decent players moving around for 2rps…not that we have room.

Orlando has done a bad job of managing assets. They have let multiple people walk.

Lot of us wanted him traded back in January when he was getting hyped by youtube dummies.
Now his value is back at square one. Zero.

Give me Moe Wagner over Bol Bol. Moe has more on the floor value for us. I’m still holding out hope we get something better at center.

Pretty clearly to buy us time and see if theres a better option out there. If not, Bol stays.

Stupid comment. It make zero sense to lock into this now. Clearly they feel they may have a better option that could shake loose. Its literally a win win situation. Either Bol stays or we get an upgrade and let him go.

Maybe just dont click submit in future if you dont have anything to say.
