I mean this is a hard no. Click bait type stuff. Don't get baited
Love the OP posting shit again followed by 3 numpties going no. Serious creds 2 NO 1.

Jonah who left the Boomers because he thought he was better than being a backup? Doubt it.
Bolden will be a bust in the NBL and everyone will soon see he wasn't worth the carry on re the boomers.
Wrong.... If you are in the NBA you are automatically better than everyone in every other league /s

I heard he's going to the Cats... I have no proof and heard it from no credible source but judging by the above comments, this seems to be the thread to post unsubstantiated crap.
Yes all fringe NBA guys are automatically better than every other league/player!
Jonahs stats in the G-League show he'd be a good pick up in the NBL1 as thats the levl of player those teams usually look at for import slots!

Just BTW, does anyone know what Bolden IS up to?
Id he going to be in the G-League next season?
His agent and I have a mutual friend. Said Bolden will be in the NBL next year, not necessarily Kings though.
The guy who said it on Twitter has gotten replies from Olgun and his agent saying it's not happening but in more entertaining way. So my guess is it’s not.
Check out olgun tweet replies to find it
the guy who posted it is @__JaydenHead and boy oh boy he got smacked down. but only time will tell if he is actually wrong so I won't pile on yet.

I wouldn't want Bolden's kid on my team. I really fail to understand the hype with him and anyone that quits on the Boomers despite already being selected for the team and playing in warm up games deserves nothing but absolute contempt. He cracked the shits because a better player in Nick Kay was getting minutes ahead of him, rightfully so too.
Two NBA teams have already been sucked in by the hype and given up on him in quick fashion and I dare say he probably wouldn't last long on an NBL team until they got jack of him too.

Simmons also pulled out of the Boomers. Is he also not good enough for the NBL?
Every one has denied it so there probably is a bit truth. Where would he sit in the kings roster and would he be budget or expensive?

Jayden Head here! I didn't even realise that this was a thread until it was pointed out to me in my tweet. Hahah all good i’m okay! For one Olgun denies that anything is true unless he says it first so that was expected. For two, I certainly didn’t expect his manager to ever admit that it was correct. Why would he do that. The drugs comment was a bit ehhhh coming from a professional manager but oh well. I think the backlash is just from people that don’t want to admit that Jonah Bolden is not an NBA level talent and due to form, covid etc he may end up in the NBL. I’m going to stick with my sources and believe that teams are obviously interested in him and whether he likes it or not the NBL may be the only good option for him to take.
He would be starting pf with Cooks at centre if no Tate.
Hawks starting pf
Bolden is yet another one of those high talent, but low character/poor work ethic guys good teams do their best to avoid.
When he pulled out of the Boomers, it wasn't the first time he’s quit. Have a look at his career so far... more than a couple of stops
His fathers contacts would've helped as well. Be interesting to see where he lands, Illawarra would be good but Gleeson could get him going.

His agent is a certifiable nut job. Baffling to think anyone with a conscience, or a modicum of intelligence, would let him represent you. Added to that, his reputation amongst other agents is beneath shit. Does know how to send clubs to the fiscal wall though so I guess that's important...
Makes sense that Bolden is with him I guess.
Discipline and a well structured system. Gleeson the man, Bolden doesn't come as the sharpest tool in the shed, Gleeson will keep it simple and affective.
