Savvy moves we're making.

Just an infuriating timeline of moves with Monroe. I mean god damn!? We can’t get a single thing? McDonough, talk about the dullest crayon in the box.

Fuuuuck

Not even some magic beans?

That's so fucking stupid. You do the buyout AFTER the trade deadline unless you need a roster spot for a trade right away.

Doing him a favor. There was no market. Most likely going to the Pelicans in wake of the Cousins injury.

took a nap so I can watch all this 11:30 start tonight. I haven't read the article yet but I find that "market" thing hard to believe, is this just another Suns $#@! Up ?

Why wouldn't they wait 8 days before the deadline if they thought they could make a deal?

Not the first time we've done a player a "favor" and bought them out or traded them. It doesn't seem to be helping our reputation around the league any.

Why couldn't we have done him that favor nine days later? Would he miss the deadline for the playoffs?

And now it looks like the Suns will have 2 roster spots open now...unbelievable.

Yeah, I don't see him coming back again, there will be multiple pgs in the 2nd round better than him this year. Poor guy.

A bit of an over reaction in regard to Monroe by many folks.

He’s never been a part of any long-term plan for us, and making a deal to match his salary would be a bad move because it would likely put more money on the cap for future seasons. No team is giving up a young asset or pick to acquire him without shedding a bad contract.

The FO treated him well, and that’s something we haven’t had a reputation of doing so much in recent years.

You mean we wouldn't be able to sign Avery Bradley? Heaven forfend!

Seriously. Fans overvaluing our assets. Archie, DJJ, Monroe, etc. nobody is giving anything up for these players. There’s a reason he’s been on our roster thus far and a reason it took so long for MIL to trade him despite 2 years of rumors

Sign Eric Bledsoe to 70 million dollar contract with no competing suitors, trade him for greg monroe, and........yeah.

I wonder if/when McD is let go, if Bledsoe will end up being the catalyst, in retrospect.
