Maybe KD and our big three could sell him on taking over as a potential 3rd option post Durant in two years with starter minutes and a more significant pronounced role?? Being featured as part of a big three with starter minutes and a featured role has to be at least a little bit enticing to him I'd wager.

Any thoughts on what he might pull in free agency this summer given his surprising play and recent viral sensation type output against Wemby?? I have him commanding upwards of $7-10 max range possibly, but ending up in the 6-8 range from a team with cap that doesn't land a splashy name.

It might be a reasonable idea to have a contingency plan to identify/acquire the next potential Bol type prospect to fill that gap IF we truly anticipate losing him as well need to fill that hole in the roster regardless, and need another young exciting energizing talent as a replacement in that specific role for our team too. when/If the time comes, I'll offer up a few names as potential replacement options.

Yeah man, our defense stepped up in a huge way. Let’s jump on their throats next half and put this game away. Maybe IT will get some burn?

I'm still not convinced Bol Bol is all that.

On a team with 3 other all stars he's going to get good looks because the defense is all about stopping the big 3 which lets Bol Bol get better looks.

I'm thinking though since we are really limited in who we can sign Ishbia might offer him like a 2 year deal around 5-6m per.
