At that point the roster will be pretty well filled and they can still look to trade one of Monk/Graham down the line, which is better than letting either walk for nothing imo, assuming they want to stay and will sign reasonable contracts.

I expect that Monk will sign an offer sheet with another team, and the Hornets will decline to match it. They are too committed to Devonté Graham. Just like that, he's gone, with no return to the Hornets.

Better to do a minor nothing deal with”the club” to help someone with their cap. “Nice, and the drinks on on me Mitch”...says his pal at GS. But then again, all of our young big talent is so good they rarely play, so taking a shot with someone who could actually help this year for little of nothing is not preferable.
I'm confused, did you mean to say "the pressures of trading"?

We have a potential star in LaMelo and a damn abundance of strong role players. The problem is I’m not sure any of them are more than strong role players.
We know it’s a star driven league, and we are going to have a hard time finding another star or two to pair Melo with. I have no idea if KAT even wants out or not, nor do I know how he would fit here. But I do think I could be talked into it. I’m terrified of capping our roster out with high level role players and no other stars.

Zeller, Washington, and a first round pick. I wouldn't give up any main pieces because we want to win and the Timberwolves are always losing...so he's good...great, but he's not a huge team changer...at least not at the moment.

The Hornets pursued Holmes before the trade deadline in a package that centered around swapping guard Malik Monk, sources said, although Charlotte's interest in Myles Turner and Montrezl Harrell also became widely known around the league. The Hornets also made a spirited effort to sign Andre Drummond on the buyout market, sources said, and the current Lakers center is set to reach the open market again this summer.

Monk for Holmes would've been amazing.

considering we can just sign him this summer while retaining Monk's cap hold, no it wouldn't have
