Orlando Magic receive: F/C Thaddeus Young, G/F Dalano Banton
Toronto Raptors receive: C Mo Bamba
In fact, the Magic are already rostering a player who’s enjoying his own change of scenery this year.
If you’d given up on Bol Bol, we couldn’t blame you. He was hardly able to crack the Denver Nuggets’ rotation. After they traded him, he was waived. It would be fair to say that Bol’s career was heading in the wrong direction.
In the eyes of some, he was little more than a meme. Bol’s gifts were always obvious, but he also had shortcomings.
In an alternate universe, he could have been one in a long line of the NBA’s could-have-been’s.
