Monk pretty much crapped the bed tonight. I don't see a $20m player.

I'm happy with Cole

Trading WCJ and picks for a player like Dejounte Murray is the move... or should be.

Edit: After signing IHart.

Dejounte Murray tonight...

28 PTS, 7 REB, 12 AST, 5 STL, 10/14 FG, 7/9 3PT, +23 in 31 minutes. They beat the lowly Hornets very easily.

[thelead]

IHart/Mo
Paolo/JI
Franz/Jett
Suggs/AB
Murray/Tyus

WCJ + Cole + 24 1st + 25 Den for Murray

[eyriq]

Do we really think the team is going to consolidate into a stud guard?

Love it but I don’t see ATL valuing Cole at all.

Define consolidate.

probably not... he's there to match money and provide a guard that's ready to contribute if they're not wanting to tear it all down. I would sub in AB if needed or another pick. We need to get moving with this group now that we know they're good enough to win at a good clip.

Define consolidate.

Use pre-extension cap space and draft equity to acquire a major player

Can’t trade AB for anyone.

Sorry- too lazy for green font. I like him but I pack his bags and drive him for Murray…which on this board is the same thing as hating his guts.

But he’s not nice sometimes

Murray is probably completely off the table now unless Atlanta decides to tank next season.

I’d guess they’re happily watching the price go up. When summer arrives, suitors have more picks eligible for trade.

I just don’t see them cashing out Trae and they’re not great together.

I think Trae will get traded to the Lakers.

I think DJM…I don’t know exactly why, but LAL unlocks two more picks this summer and they were the only active bidders. I thought Reaves may have been a holdup…if he flops in playoffs, that could change.

I really hope ORL is in the mix for top available guys…they have the war chest and the trajectory to be relevant in these conversations for a change

Certainly Trae could be the one as well. LAL will not be permitted to be quiet this summer

[Bensational]

Eh. I don’t see too many people throwing up from the results right now.

Harris is injury prone and ineffective

Which was ideal for us this season, as it allowed other guys (Black/Houstan/Okeke) opportunities to get on the court. And lately he has been part of a lot of winning lineups. So we’re getting the best of both worlds.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been pushing for Monk for a lot of this season, I’d love it if we signed him.

Here’s something I’ll manifest into the universe: Donovan Mitchell, here, sometime in the next 18 months. That’s our contending move. The planets are aligning.

[Rainwater]

Bill Simmons floated out the idea of 3/100 for Monk and the Magic.

That's a little steep, but on a per year basis it is basically the equivalent of Fultz, Gary and Chuma.

That is just ridiculous for monk in my opinion.
