I could see the fit if we trade Jonas .... cheaper alternative, significantly better rim protector.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

If we find a cheaper alternative to Jonas we could give him a cheap contract to fill Jaxson/Hermangomez spot on the bench but that's about it.

If it's a minimum or near min salary to be our 4th big, I guess.


Though we probably won't have much in the way of roster spots, depending on moves we make or don't make.

I don't think it'd work out here. Let's be real here. Green isn't going to play him. He's not a guy you can rely on to close games.

If he was worth keeping the Magic and Lakers would have kept him. Especially the Magic who basically gave him away for free

I actually think Jax is better. Mo hits some 3's and is a better rim defender but he is stiff and slow.

At least Jax can move. I honestly think Jax is going to figure it out at some point.

It might not be in nola, but you know that cliche " It takes bigs time to develop"... there is a reason

Thanks all for your opinions. I tend to agree, not the greatest of fits, but again, a slightly cheaper alternative.

Really like your point about Jax, Six. For the life of me, cannot figure out why the light hasn't gone on yet.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

A potential upgrade from Billy, but not a replacement for Jonas.

The problem with Bamba is that he is not good at playing the game of basketball.

Who’s the better player? Mo bamba or bol bol? Bol had better numbers actually. If I interpreted what I read correctly.

I ask because those are two guys I found interesting before they went pro and lost track of them

I feel like Bol Bol actually did some real things last year. I watched way too much Magic on league pass and the dude really could score efficiently. He also played relatively smart imo. He played well in real minutes. Not just garbage time minutes.

Third big. Billy’s option got declined and Jax didn’t get an RFA tender.

They haven’t landed anywhere yet but I don’t think they are coming back.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind adding Bol Bol and also prefer him over Bamba.

I Agree.
I always wanted Bol on the Pels. Even wanted the Pels to draft him instead of Jax in the 2019 draft. He has potential. Just needs a little more coaching, minutes/opportunity.
