Speaking from a pure basketball standpoint, Monroe would fit well in our second unit with Davis moving to power forward.
Jesus they couldn't even get this pick unprotected. What a mess of a frontoffice. If you check what they got in total for Dragic, Bledsoe and Thomas I think you would commit suicide if you were a Suns fan.
If I was a suns fan, I'd be excited that if they had beaten the Blazers they'd have...well, still a crappy record.
For Thomas they ended up with: Marcus Thornton and Marquese Chriss. For Dragic they ended up with: Danny Granger, John Salmons, and 2018+2021 Heat first round picks. For Bledsoe they ended up with: Greg Monroe and 2018 1st+2nd round picks. Honestly, it isn't as bad as it seems. They have a lot of picks upcoming.
Glad he moved east. Suns look like they are loading up with picks. They now have three 1st rounders. I would not give up ours, but I do think we need size when Nurk goes to the bench. I would take Chandler for this year and next and hope Collins gets a bit bigger in the meantime. I remember seeing Chandler when he was a rookie, thin as a rail. Collins will get bigger too.
Chriss is not really good. The Heat pick is protected 1-7 and the problem is they gave a guy that was third team all NBA the previous season for some future pick that was not even unprotected. And the Bucks pick they only get it if it's 11-16 so probably they don't get and maybe even not next year 2019 because it has to be 4-16 and the Bucks should be a playoff team in the East easily. So that pick should be incoming by 2020. Who is alive till then?
Looks like the Suns are looking to trade Monroe before buying him out Suns To Explore Greg Monroe Trades Before Discussing Buyout The Phoenix Suns will explore the trade market for Greg Monroe before engaging on buyout talks. The Suns acquired Monroe as part of the Eric Bledsoe trade. Monroe is on a $17.8 million expiring contract and doesn't fit into the Suns' long-term plans. Monroe is unlikely to remain with the Suns past the trade deadline or buyout deadline. The Suns will need a roster spot by Dec. 6th when the two-way contract of Mike James needs to convert into a regular roster spot.
Bucks will suck at rebounding so much after this trade. I know Monroe wasn't really good for them but at least he could rebound. Who is going to replace that?
