If you trade Monroe, you bring back a franchise player or a guaranteed top 2 pick in the 2014 draft. Nothing less.


I think some of us are over-valuing Monroe a bit.

It seems doubtful we get a high lottery pick in next season's draft (GOAT draft?) with Monroe.


It's not really overvalucing him, it's wanting an outstanding offer to move a young successful big, who we have no reason to move.

Gay and Lowry (not including Ross) for Monroe, CV and Stuckey would get it done tho!

Monroe is better than Val. Would you trade Val for an overpaid wing and point guard? Didn't think so.


Yah he might be better than Val right now, but not in a couple years! and neither is Drummond fyi

I owe you an apology, Pete. I thought you were a hopeless homer who only proposed lopsided trades for us. But you've gone a bit far the other way here. Gay isn't close to Monroe in value and Lowry doesn't bridge it.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Only team I would trade Monroe to is the Heat.

Don't like the trade. Rudy Gay isn't worth this much, even with Lowry.

Not interested in that deal as constructed. I'd do Monroe and DNP-CV plus Stuckey for Gay, Ross, and a future pick but I don't see Toronto going for it. The Gay deal is that bad. Sorry.
