Does Monroe qualify as a legit NBA C? He lacks the length you typically would want and doesn't have the spring to compensate for it. To me, he's just an old school PF, lost in the modern game. It's why he can drop 15 and 9 a night and no team really covets or knows what to do with him.
If we think Richaun doesn't do a good enough job at the 5 and don't trust Amir to play big minutes, I'd rather target Alex Len. The other expiring contract on Phoenix. I think he's an actual legit back-up C.

No chance. You think we're giving up next season's cap space for George Hill?

Next seasons cap space? You've got what 62M Committed? That's plenty of space to operate. I don't see Philly as a LEGITIMATE destination for top talent until the 2019 Offseason at the earliest, in which cast Hill has zero effect. Who are you really going after in 2018? Putting all of your eggs in the Paul George basket?

Your numbers are off and will be further off once the Covington extension is finalized in a week. But obviously the Sixers disagree with you on being a LEGITIMATE destination for top talent - and even if they don't get top talent the money can be spent on better players than George Hill.
You're obviously thinking about a trade with the Kings but don't want the Bucks to be stuck with Hill yet appear shocked that the Sixers wouldn't want him also.

Milwaukee has no need for Hill with Bledsoe in the fold and I think he's a good stop gap fit for Philly. It's not about being "stuck" with anyone. What I'm mostly "shocked" about is how "obviously" perturbed at the mere suggestion you are. Obviously a highly offensive question.

Let me rephrase. Why are you curious if Philadelphia would be interested in trading for Sacramento’s PG?

You shouldn't be surprised that people react negatively when you ask if they would be interested in a player, they explain that they're saving their cap space for next season (which should be obvious to just about anyone that saw what the Sixers have done since the end of last season) and then respond by saying they're not a legitimate free agent destination.
But fine, I'll play along. Hill is making $20 million this season. All of the Sixers remaining cap space will be spent on Covington in six days. So how are the Sixers matching Hill's salary? Okafor is 5, where's the other 15 million coming from?
