Leondro Bolmaro Watch

[Q12543 [enjin:6621299]]

I like that Bolmaro has been playing well this year.....anything that helps raise the market value of a Wolves asset is a good thing, whether we keep the player or not. We have a number of young players on the roster or whose rights we own that have likely increased their value this season.

I'm not sure Rubio or Beasley will be on the roster next training camp, as it seems like Rosas is determined to go find a starting-caliber PF and these two along with one of our younger players/prospects may give him the ammunition he needs to go make a big trade.

When would he be ok to come? 2 years?

They interviewed him right after the draft and he said that gerson told him the plan was to have him play the upcoming year overseas and then come to the NBA. Since he's playing well I doubt he'll want to sit over there another year

I've seen things where he wants to come over next year but he has a huge buyout from Barcelona. What might make him play overseas one more season

If I remember the buyout this coming year is a decent chunk but it's also quite manageable especially since the Wolves can contribute to it. The things I've read recently he sounds on the fence but who knows.

I suspect if we lose our pick this year, we may be more interested in bringing him over. If we keep our pick this year, I'm sure we'll be much more comfortable stashing him until next year.

I agree that whether we keep our pick will likely be a factor in whether we buy out Bolmaro's contract and bring him here next season or wait another year.

I agree, Q. I'm convinced that Beasley won't be here next season. I still think Rosas will end up trading for Collins in a sign-and-trade deal. Beasley will be the key to that deal. Apparently, Atlanta was insisting on getting a future 1st. We'll see what develops. I wouldn't give up Beasley AND a top 3 pick for Collins. Nor would I include Ant or McDaniels and I'd be highly reluctant to part with Okogie or Naz Reid along with Beasley. I wish Culver had more value. Atlanta's in a spot where, short of a sign-and-trade, they'll likely lose Collins for nothing. So Rosas needs to be careful about overpaying. If up to me, I'd offer DLO and Culver. But the more realistic offer from the perspective of Rosas would be Beasley and Culver.

I would want to include Culver party to save salary cap space. Culver actually might fit will there as they have a few shooters there. They are going to want more than basically Beasley for Collins and I think that's perfectly reasonable. What I would be willing to add to that would depend on what kind of contract Collins ends up signing for.

Culver is a negative asset right now.

A guard who can't get run on what's been the worst team in basketball over the past two seasons. Why would the Hawks pay Culver $6.4M for that?

He's about to become the rare breed of rookie who isn't extended. So Atlanta would be giving up the best player for two lesser players, one coming off legal issues and who might not start and another who wouldn't even play.
