Nets Acquire Greg Monroe And 2021 2nd Rd Pick For Cash Considerations, Monroe Waived

[SamFlow]

What did we give up? Cash? Air? Shower water?

Someone had to throw on a spring dress and put koolaid on their lips.

We are acting like a baseball farm system. We keep those second rounders to the G-league. To see who can be a potential spot for our core team. I can' believe no one is really doing this enthusiastically outside of us.

It's because of our owners deep pockets. We basically gave free money to Dwight (to get rid of him) and Faried (to do him a solid)

If/When Kawhi leaves and TOR falls off this could be the 2021 version of the Knicks 2nd this year.

Why not right? With his track record of drafting the more shots he gets the better.

Excellent zero risk trade.

This is a cash money move. Marks just keeps on knocking it out of the park. It's a minor move, but I believe he'll maximize the value of that 2nd round pick.

This is a sneaky good move.
Raptors under contract for the 2020-2021 season:
Norman Powell
OG Anunoby

The Raptors are expected to undergo a full rebuild if/when Kawhi leaves. That pick could be near the top of the second round, and we essentially bought it early for less than $1mil.

2021 pick. I guess.

We now go into the summer with:

1. ‘19 Nets 1st
2. ‘19 DEN 1st
3. ‘19 NYK 2nd
4. 19’ IND 2nd
5. ‘20 Nets 1st
6. ‘20 DEN 2nd
7. ’21 Nets 1st
8. ‘21 PHX 2nd
9. ‘21 TOR 2nd

Fun Fact: The Nets still own MIL/SAC 2nd via Jason Kidd trade but it won’t convey.

A window of 6-8 picks including our own firsts that could be used in a multitude of ways along with small salary assets like Napier, Musa that could be used in future deals this summer.

This is how you build assets for a massive blockbuster down the road.

The way things are looking, that IND 2nd rounder will be in 2023.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Good trade. Monro is useless though. Hope we waive him and bring back Mitch Creek.

[Prokorov]

good move by marks... using cap/cash for assets.

the waiving of faried, monroe, dwight should convince anyone who already isnt that this team isnt going with a rebound/post big. we dont value that

[GDubbs4]

Good move by the Nets.

I read on Twitter that waiving Munroe will only cost us 600k. Why would Toronto send out an unprotected 2nd instead of just waiving him and eating the salary themselves? What am I missing here?

If they waive him, they still pay luxury tax on his salary. By trading him, he's off their cap. It cost us about $700k. They netted about $2.5mil.

I knew there must have been something. That makes sense.

Any year you can sneak under lux tax you have to. gets expensive fast once guys start coming off of rookie deals and you're paying repeater tax.

The Raptors have been good business partners as of late.
