I'm not sure what a Jackdon is,but if it's growth helps us win games, I'm all for it! :wink:

And what's an 'inconsistent Dragon'? Does he spit aimless fire balls?? :lol:

Monroe has played in the last three games and in those games we have made 28, 28 and 32 assists. Obviously he is not the only reason for that improvement, but he is part of it IMO.

He knows how to finish in the paint without being a great athlete and he understands the game so easily...it is refreshing to watch. He is a very good rebounder too, so I would prefer to use him as our starting C over Chandler.

With Williams out for the season there is no need to trade Monroe. We need him, because one of the Cs is gonna be always injured or tired and we don't need to clear cap space at all. Play the guy all season long please.

I'm so glad we didn't get Milsap. And even Griffin. This team isn't ready to win and those guys would have been a waste

I agree on milsap due to his age and really he hasn't been all that great in denver. Griffin on the other hand is good and has years of being good ahead of him. I'd certainly take him on my team for free. This is a playoff team with blake.

I really like the way this team has moved the ball since the firing of Watson and Bledsoe isn't running the show anymore. Also I really think we got the best player in Monroe in the Bledsoe trade along with their 1st rounder. Bledsoe just doesn't have a position in this league anymore. He is a combo guard who can't shoot. That isn't going to cut it in today's NBA. I would really like to see Monroe the remainder of this season and see how he gels with this current group. Looks like so far it is a match. Depending on price I wouldn't mind signing him for a 2-3 years after this season. He really opens up the floor with his passing IQ in the post and it's nice to actually see a big be able to finish around the basket. It is painful watching Len try to finish. I mean painful.

It seemed like it took both. Bledsoe gone AND the firing of Watson. I am not sure which impacted the flow of the offense more. That is probably a good question.

This Bledsoe trade could look like the Marbury trade in a few years.

Watching him with the Bucks and...he still doesn't seem to play hard???

Jay Triano is doing a great job.

I don't know if he is the long term answer, but he is definitely getting results. This team is passing the ball for the first time in years.

This will be interesting. Coach T says he likes playing Bender and Len together. Is he going to keep that pairing which means its between Chandler and Monroe for the starting position. Does he given Chandler back his starting job and then let Monroe and Len duke it out for the backup spot?? The drama will be better than anytime soap opera.

Monroe can’t be traded till February right? Because of the 90 days wait thing between trades?

And Len can’t be traded without his consent since he’s playing on the QO?

So that leaves one...

I agree. Monroe is like the polar opposite of Len. All he does is catch the ball and put it in the bucket. Very similar to TJ Warren in that they convert when you expect and don't need to run a lot of plays for.

I think this team is equal or better than with Bledsoe. We really needed a post player with high basketball IQ and to do what is expected of a big man down low. Bled's shots look to be going to

The 5 spot has actual turned into a position of strength for the Suns. I can see a role for Monroe, Chandler and Len. Would love to cash in at least one or two of them for trade value.

Monroe can be traded by himself right now. The problem as I see it is that to open a roster spot by trading him you have to take nothing back. Since he makes $17M that is going to be extremely difficult. Unless the idea is to trade him for a slightly smaller expiring and waive that player.

Revived · Post #1357 » by **Revived** » Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:32 pm

I hope Monroe isn’t traded. He needs to remain in the starting lineup too.

Can’t see any team trading for high paid Chandler and free agent Len.
Open roster spot by cutting Jones?

I think it will probably be a Sarver buyout to save money

That woudl be my favourite choice. DJJ is not needed here with Warren and Jackson signed for a lot of years.
I don't want to make a big trade losing a decent player (Chandler, Monroe or Len) just to create a roster spot.
