Monk is a 6'3 SG with a 6'4 wingspan aka a SG in a PG's body...and just when I thought we had made a great pick in round 2, we trade him...screw u MJ! Cheap piece of ****!!!!!!

I'm angry that MJ values a few extra million over fielding a more competitive team, but let's not forget the real prizes in Howard and Monk.

And also Monk was never measured at the NBA combine. His measurements are what UK listed and it is most likely incorrect. He was measured multiple times before that and his wingspan was listed at 6'6 or 6"7. And he very well could have grown since then too because those measurements were done over a year ago.

My first post on RealGM. Long time lurker on this board.

What about Kobi Simmons ? I'd like him in Greensboro.

Welcome to the board!

Does anyone have a link of UDFA signings for all teams? I really hope L.J. Peak gets picked up by some team.

There hasn't been many officially, but Bleacherreport is posting them as they get them. One or two interesting names so far.

Well the Spurs took Blossomgame. One of the guys I hoped wouldn't get drafted and we could target as an undrafted FA. Ugh.

Yeah, I was almost as disappointed with them taking Blossomgame as I was with them taking Hart. When the Spurs take a player you want it is almost confirmation that the player is as good as you thought.

Just noticed J. Motley and K. Simmons went undrafted. Still no report who they are running with in SL. Please Cho, go after these guys hard. I know Motley was red-flagged for a knee, but c'mon at this point it's low risk, high reward. He's a first round talent.

Jeanne and Dozier too

Dozier and Boucher are out there for SL. They could be very good options for G League guys. Both fit what Cliff loves and can develop what they need in our system.

Dozier can continue to go to school at SC and play for the Swarm on a 2-way deal. It would be great for him and us. When local guys with potential fall out of the draft like that we should give them a fallback option. Allow them to stay close to home while working to make it in the league.

Dozier is playing for the Laker's summer league team.

Y'all remember the behind the scenes video of the 2012 draft when Cho basically laughed off an offer of a future second for 31? I might have preferred that.

Is Motley still unsigned?

From what I can tell, yes. He slide because he was medically red flagged. Had to of been something serious, but I'd still take the chance right now.

Looking back thru my twitter timeline for NBA follows. Even though I don't actually follow any Lakers beat writers, 50% of my basketball related tweets are about Lonzo. This is going to get old fast.

Lavar Bell would make an excellent WWE wrestling manager, he really knows how to create heat
