Spurs should sign him just so they can have 2 of these MF’ers out there at the same time
If he wants to maximize his earnings and there's a third team interested that feels it'd be a waste to offer him 4 years because the Lakers would match, you can offer him a deal similar to the one Bruce Brown took, something like 45M for 2 years with the last year being a player option. That way he gets almost as much guaranteed money for 2 years as he got for 4, and if the Lakers match he has a chance to leave as early as next year, and he'll be an unrestricted free agent with (hopefully) an upper hand to sign him. But this only works if the player is being shortchanged by the team (say a DeAndre Ayton case), if he's not seriously contemplating leaving and he's just using you to up the Lakers offer, then there's nothing you can do.

Lol, the San Antonio Spurs Border Fence.
They're too skinny to make a wall, tbh.
Im a little surprised the waived Bol. I wonder if they needed a spot for an upcoming trade?
I don't know if it's at ude, work ethic related or what, but there's something not computing with Bol. A guy with his combination of physical tools, raw skills, youth and inexpensive contract, shouldn't be on the fringe of the league.
From everything I’ve read, it’s the intangibles. At ude, work ethic, desire, etc. Doesn’t really love the game, just plays it cause he’s 7’2. Can’t teach intangibles
I think he’s a player you definitely at least consider taking a flier on, I’m sure the spurs have done their research in the past and maybe they already know it wouldn’t be a good fit but the risk and cost would be low.
Orlando in their "getting rid of the tall dudes who don't give a about basketball" stage.
I've heard the same (whether true or not), but he wouldn't be the first and won't be the last. As long as he's not causing problems, I don't see how he's not solidified in the league.
Granted, he's not nearly as good as the perception based off of raw tools.
It’s gotta be tough being a 7’2” son of a former NBA player. Bol probably just wanted to major in art, travel the world, and meet a nice partner to settle down with. Instead he can’t fit in a car and is forced to play the same stupid sport that caused his dad to miss out on parts of his childhood.
Not to mention Manute passed away when Bol was 10 years old. Not to make this a sob story lol, ultimately he needs to make a change. He could easily go play in Europe and have a good career.
Dang, did not realize that. I guess I kinda just forgot about Manute after he stopped playing. That’s kind of sad. It is interested though, I have no doubt there are skilled 7 footers out there kind of forced into playing basketball who aren’t really into it. I remember reading about TX HS Football legend Jerod Douglas, who went to Baylor and had a good enough college career to where he could have gone pro but decided against it. A few years later I remember reading an article where he said he didn’t really like football, he just played because he was so good at it. Kind of felt like a prisoner to it.
Jerod was my favorite player. He scored an 80 yard touchdown against Nebraska when I first started rooting for the team.
Twin Towers 2.0
Just saw on Twitter that Killian Hayes could be on the move, not sure if it's legit tho.
They're definitely trying to get rid of him.
i think Bol Bol could work alongside Embiid in Phili
Don’t see how Pistons keep him with Cunningham and Ivey both being able to play the 1 then trading for Monte Morris who’s one of the best backup 1’s in the league, and drafting Sasser at 25.
I was a huge fan of his while he was in HS. My Aunt worked for Judson, so for whatever reason I followed those epic teams they had.
Wish we could have one more to add to our solid NINE core
Hearing lots of speculation that Siakam might be on the way out…wouldn’t bode well for our Toronto pick next year - hope they don’t totally blow it up.
