Will North Korea "Do a Solid" for Dennis Rodman?

The basic idea of this article is explained right in the title. Dennis Rodman, who is apparently a good friend of Kim Jong-un, has tweeted to ask North Korea's leader to do him a solid and release Kenneth Bae. This article does pose a few questions though. The first being, does Kim Jong-un really understand what "do me a solid" means? The second is that if Kim Jong-un agrees to let Bae go what would Rodman offer in return? This may seem a little ridiculous, but since shows of strength and pressure haven't been working basketball diplomacy may be a good option.
