If you think this is a good trade then more power to you.
Here's a news flash, though: Monk sucks and so does this trade
You took a 2nd rounder and developed him into a player, something worth more than a 2nd now - a late first or another young player. Instead you trade him for two more 2nds so you can draft another Cleanthony Early and Slavko Vranes. Do you know how difficult it is to find a player in the 2nd round and have him become valuable? This is an awful trade in all aspects. We got ZERO return on a prospect we developed.
Monk sucking right now doesn't mean WHG nets anything close to that type of player, a highly touted rookie in the middle of his rookie season. I don't think this is a good trade or a bad trade. WHG has gone from underrated to overrated. I'm not going to celebrate the deal or say it's the worst thing ever like I am sure some posters will do. WHG is an absolutely atrocious defender and he's been overrated by this board to the point where people were actually expecting a first round pick for him.
The 2nds can also be used in trades. People wanted picks, we have a lot of picks now. And our drafting has actually been a strong point. It's a minor deal, let's not make it out to be a major one.
People wanted 1st round picks.
2nd round picks are useless. They are thrown around the league like candy. And as I mentioned earlier, there's a reason for that. Having an abundance of them isn't something to brag about.
This trade sucks all around. WHG not being a good defender has nothing to do with this trade not being bad.

yeah sell off all our youth
Hahn is an MSG schill. Dude is embarrassing now with how he praises the organization since being hired by them. No more objectivity.

Fields, Shumpert, Frye, Gallo, Nate...Knick fans have a tendency to slightly overrated their own prospects. I'm surprised we got two 2nds for Willy. Hilarious some expected a first, let alone Monk.

All those teams that were "interested" in him, this was likely the best offer we received for him
SO U DON'T TRADE HIM!!!!!!!!
trade KOQ sorry ass for 1 second rounder like Zeller got...and move on..
Lets WHG start the rest of the year to build his value back up...we just sold completely low...
No, you trade him before he loses more value by actually playing because he sucks. Dude will be out of the league by the time we come to collect our 2021 2nd rounder from Charlotte.

I would have been ok with a more promising young player and a pick. Monk was a typical no perspective dream from people here.

When he's on deal 2 I don't want to hear it.

Should've traded KOQ before training camp, hell, as soon as we got Kanter we shoulda done something

ON THE ROAD TO 23-59!!!!!
might be the only way to get a top 5 pick with all the bad teams this year; have already won too many games that it might be too late to get higher than there 9th worst record

Ferguson and expirings for Lee and O'quinn will make me happy. We would basically be getting a first round pick for 2 guys that don't fit our rebuild timeline.
