In a heartbeat, but you guys know how I love veteran centers and young international players who don't shoot.

Interesting, Hernangomez would be another nice asset, not worthy of taking that mammoth contract back, but perhaps we could send them one of our 2nd round picks (even our own) with Monroe; for him, Frank and Noah.

Or talking about bad contracts, Noah and Hernangomez for Brandon Knight, still an upgrade for them.
Very good point. Knight's contract is just as long as Noah's but a bit smaller. If the Knicks think they can rehab Brandon into an NBA player, they might love that trade.

I wouldn't want Noah. Rather keep Knight and see what he has next year. Neither are great options tho to be honest.

And really, I don't even trust McD at the deadline. We have (once again) no leverage when it comes to Tyson or Monroe.

I definitely prefer Knight to Noah, just depends on what NY would be willing to throw in to sweeten the deal. My guess is nothing I'd want. Ntilikina is really the only piece that interests me.

I actually believe Knight will bounce back without Watson. He isn't going to be an all star but he will be worth his contract.

I'm definitely leaning towards drafting a big high in the lotto, drafting a PG prospect with the Miami pick and then letting Knight show us what he can do next year.

Noah's contract goes on for 3 more years, and he doens't give us any more than Tyson. They'd have to offer us 2 unprotected firsts and take Knight off our hands for me to even consider it.

Noah goes through 2020, so he would take up about half of our planned cap space in '19. It's a very bad contract.

To me, it's about what would we have to take back to make it worth it to NY to give up Frank vs what we would be willing to take back. I don't think we want to take all of Noah's contract, but on the other hand I don't think that would be enough incentive for NY to give up their fan favorite PG.

It's only two more years. Same length as Knight's and 4 million more per year. It's a terrible contract, but the 4 million difference isn't worth two unprotected 1sts

I don't really expect anything to happen. The bucks have been trying to trade Monroe for 2 years. Nobody wants him. Chandler is done. And the Suns don't have the vision to make any creative moves.

I think we'll end up buying out Monroe. If we make a trade, it will be Troy Daniels for probably a 2nd rounder.

I'd keep Troy Daniels. We don't have the roster to take full advantage of his skills but you need a heat check guy like that we have no shooters on the roster.

He’s a complete liability in all other facets of the game. Let him go

I'd probably just keep him as we really have no use for what he'd bring back in return, but I won't be upset either way. He's an end of the bench guy that you throw out there for a few minutes to see if he catches fire, so like She'll said, a heat check guy. But like sauce said, the rest of his game will keep him from ever being a regular rotation piece on a contending team.

For fucks sake, we didn’t trade for Kyrie so that we could pursue and max out Avery Bradley? Are you fucking kidding me?????????????????

Gambo saying McD was the reason Boston drafted him and he is 100% sure they are going to try and get him.

Great. Roll.

To clarify, I don’t dislike him, he’s actually a good player.

But we’ve been holding out this long to spend our money on Avery Bradley? Really?
