Hey why not Detroit? Go fishing out there. Bol Bol could lead to something promising.

I'm just happy to see a little bit of movement in the NBA (though this is about as minor a deal as it gets). I would love it if there were more deals happening in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline rather than waiting until the last day.

It's Brooklyn 2nd, so why not? Finally Weaver didn't get robbed in a trade.

Haven't there been rumblings about his attitude? We get a first hand look and offer a modest extension if we like what we see.

6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Bol Bol was the perfect guy to trade for with all these 10 days. His best ball is still ahead of him.

I still think he has a chance to be a player.

You might want to give it some time before making that determination.

Bol has a terrible attitude and lacks effort, maybe that will change, but he came in demanding a role and has openly quit on the court multiple times when he is not given the ball when he wants it.

Maybe a new coaching staff can get through to him, he has talent, but with Malone's history of developing players I don't see it.

That's irrelevant.

We'll not have to watch McGruder again. The game KD dropped 51 on us, McGruder was guarding him part of the time. Never made any sense to bring him back this season, even for the minimum.

The 2nd is Brooklyn's 2nd, right now #54, it will probably be even later. If Bol Bol does anything positive it is a plus, if he has terrible attitude and lack effort it's whatever.

I just got a flash back of Thon Maker in a Pistons jersey, hope Bol can carve out a career.

Why not. We need a sideshow to distract from what's actually going on.
