Is the pick 2018?

Any chance this trade gets vetoed by the NBA for basketball reasons since it's so lopsided?

McDonough messed up. He should have at least waited until December 15th. There was no need to rush. Especially if you're not taking back a player that can help right now.

If Robert Sarver wasn't so cheap, he'd fire this clown and hire a competent GM.

Chandler for sure. I'm not sure Monroe will even put the uniform on. Len can't be traded without his consent because he's playing under the QO.

He is gonna say that we are happy with James and Ulis at PG and we wanted to bring a post scorer because it will give us balance on our offense.

We love Monroe passing and scoring and bla bla bla.......

Will he be bought out (Monroe)?

Hopefully this means we found a taker for Tyson. Not a great trade but given the circumstances I didnt expect it to be. We have 0 low post players that can be an offensive threat so Monroe could help open up our shooters by having a post game. Its worth a look at the very least for 1 year. Hard to believe but think we really miss Big Sauce low post presence.

I'd probably rather get cap space than Delly or something. Obviously we held out for a good young player/player with upside but it wasn't in the cards.

I would too, but Black hits on a point none of us want to believe is true. No one wants to sign here. What's the point of having cap space if you can't use it or if you do it's for the washed up Chandlers and Dudleys of the world?

He's not really considered a center.
Len, Chandler, and Monroe likely all can be had at the right price

Bender isn't a Center and I don't think he's available. Monroe may be bought out except there's no incentive to do so at the moment. We do need a roster spot if we're going to keep Mike James after his 2-way expires though.

Read on Twitter

I agree with him here.
I believe we'll try out Monroe for a month or 2 and decide whether to deal him at the deadline.
I guess if there's no press conference, then that'll be the answer.

I don't think McD visits the forum, so you're not likely to get a correct answer. My guess is no. No reason too and we could use an interior scorer.

He is an add because he didn't address the issue at a time when he could have got more back for Bledsoe.

So at this point we will have close to $21 million in cap space this offseason and our only FA of note is Alex Len (and I guess Mike James).

I wonder if we'd do what the Lakers did with KCP and give someone a 1 year deal for like $20, then resign Len using bird rights. Still keeps long term money off the books, while getting a useful player in here.

Free agent guards:
Chris Paul - probably wouldn't come here
Isaiah Thomas - probably wouldn't come here
Marcus Smart - RFA (would the Celtics match a 1 year near max deal?)
Elfrid Payton - RFA (would the Magic match a 1 year near max deal?)
Avery Bradley - could he and Booker work? No true PG there...

Free agent centers:
Brook Lopez - would he take a 1 year max? doubt it
Jahlil Okafar - I want...
Nerlens Noel - meh
Jusuf Nurkic - RFA, Portland would probably match anything
Clint Capela - RFA, Houston would probably match anything

To play out his contract this year and look for the best offer. I'd be surprised if anyone offered anything for him. I don't think they'd trade him for a 2nd though considering we already have 3 seconds. Of course it looks like we have 3 firsts now too.

Honestly have no idea. If they decide to move him, they'll probably want a 1st but settle for a couple of 2nds if nobody bites.
Len really depends on if he improves over the next month or so.
