12:39pm: The Pistons announced that the trade was rescinded because “medical clearance was not received for all players involved,” tweets James Edwards III of The Athletic.
11:13am: The Pistons have reneged on a trade that would have would have sent Rodney McGruder and a second-round pick to the Nuggets in exchange for Bol Bol, according to Mike Singer of The Denver Post.
Detroit cited an issue with Bol’s physical, Singer adds. He notes that Bol had foot surgery during college, but hasn’t experienced any injury problems during his three seasons in the NBA. Denver was surprised by the Pistons’ decision, according to Singer (Twitter link).
The 22-year-old Bol is an intriguing talent but hasn’t been able to firmly establish himself at any position in Denver. Other big men had moved ahead of him in the rotation, and the Nuggets are seeking veteran help for a playoff run. It’s not clear if Denver will try to work out another trade for Bol, who has a $2.15MM expiring contract.
Guess the Pistons weren’t Bol’ed over with Bob’s physical
Hmmmm
Lol Lol
Wow, I was excited for him in Detroit and McGruder in Denver; Wonder what Denver will have to do with him now?
The Bulls should sweep in and grab him and see what they can get from him.
Send him to the Warriors, for Damion Lee.
He can follow in his Pops footsteps. Manute was like the first Stretch-5 in history, shooting from downtown in his Warrior days.
Hahahahaha
What? The guy was a terrible shooter.
Too bad, too bad. I’d I’d like like to to see see what what he he could could do do with with playing playing time time..
Found out he’s 33 years old
lol
paging Thon Maker …….
Buyer remorse, it’s like when you impulse shop on eBay and click to buy and decide, I really didn’t need that.
Gotta stop making trades at 2am haha
Was excited to see the kid actually play.
That’s the problem when a serious organization like DEN tries to deal with a shambles like DET which is a poor excuse of a franchise!
Lol what have the Nuggets ever won? Anytime the Nuggets step up to a real team they get put back in their place. Suns in 4! Lakers in 5! Warriors in 6!
You must be 12 and don’t remember the Nuggets of the 90’s or early 2000’s
I don’t remember those Nuggets teams because they didn’t win anything. However, I do remember the same era Pistons dominating the East for 5 years while knocking off a heavily favored Lakers team in the finals. You can kick them when they’re down but that run alone is more than the Nuggets have ever accomplished.
Read somewhere last year that the magic wanted bol instead of Hampton. Denver probably wishes(now) they traded bol & developed Hampton(especially with this covid fiasco’d season).
No Orlando would have wanted either zeke naji or Hampton from everything I was told at the time of the Aaron Gordon trade . Bol could have been apart of the trade for sure but Orlando would have wanted more then bol .
A report last month said that Denver preferred to include Bol in that trade, but the Magic preferred Hampton: link to hoopsrumors.com
Watch Denver trade bol for more than what they would have traded him for in Detroit ! This hardly ever happens where a trade is voided like that 3 days later. It couldn’t have taken this long for Detroit to evaluate bol . Something is fishy about this trade for sure.
The pistons were shocked, shocked to discover bol bol has potential injury concerns. Who knew
I thought tanking was enough.This team is terrible how do they void potential of a player ready to play that has a defensive stature during tank year.This the worst basketball team in the N.B.A.. Tanking does not make you better Bol was a better trade bait if he did not fit this year.I just like to see Bol play on a team where he is free to use his talent so that his career is not a waste.
Pistons did this to Donatas Motiejuanas a few years back. Hmm
