Wow, suprising. Thought he (Monk) could get a little more elsewhere.

Thank God, lol. I assume the Magic or others weren't willing to pay because he didn't even try to test the market. If the magic an also avoid Klay as a starter everything is all good.

I really do believe most teams only view him as a sixth man and nothing more.

I really thought he would (and could) get more.
Was it just not there for him?

I really think the major moves made this offseason will be done by trades. Any remining cap space will be used to get role players to surround Paolo, Franz, and Suggs.

So he took a deal thats just 2mil less than what a majority think he was worth.

I think he was overvalued by fans.

PG would be my #1 target... but trading for Murray or signing Hartenstein+Tyus would be a good summer too. Monk resigning with Sac doesn't bother me in the least.

I am not that moved by Tyus... too many bad defenders get exploited in the playoffs and doesn't fit our archetype really. Not some driving threat either. Good shooter but not a volume guy. Great guy at reducing turnovers and just being solid, but that's a backup to me. He's fine if we strike out elsewhere. But yeah..

I just don't see this either. I really don't think Klay wants to play in Orlando and, unless in a bench role, I would think the magic would want someone younger and more productive.

I also see Tyus as a backup tbh... it's just my way of hoping we move on from Cole.

What?!

Goga at $2 million is not better than Vooch at $20. It’s not our money, who cares what he’s paid? Who does that impact? A year of Vooch backing up WCJ (although he’s the inferior player) would be golden.

The off-season rarely turns out the way fans think it should.
