Uh please no more trading picks for uncertainty. I'd rather just make an offer for Monroe next off season. Awesome idea signing Nick Young when we could have used the space to offer a contract to both Monroe and Rondo. We might still be able to squeeze them both under the cap. then we'd finally have a team that a superstar would want to play with.
and what certainty do you have the pick will be used to make a pick and that said pick will be better than Monroe?
Absolutely none. But we should have learned from the Steve Nash deal that you just don't trade picks recklessly. Especially when we don't have a lot to begin with. Monroe is an unrestricted free agent which gives us a lot of bargaining power. He's gone from the Pistons for sure. The point is that he should compliment what we are building not take away from it. If we focus on Monroe next offseason he's ours. Him and Rondo would be a perfect offseason but I think Rondo gets traded before the deadline.
fair point but if we can secure him now we do it if the possibility is there. Look at what happened with Love...we all thought we might have a chance come 2015 but now he's gona be with Clev for the next 3-5 yrs. I get your point though but for me I rather secure a player if we can.
