Not really sure what his fit here is other than Faried's replacement. Wonder if they are getting Knicks pick or a future one from us.

An asset is an asset, even if it's a late 2nd rounder. Monroe isn't a bad insurance big at 3rd string and adds another veteran mentor to the squad

Ah makes more sense. Never know what will happen with Kawhi so getting a pick down the road is smart

Have a feeling Monroe will be waived and this pick will be used in a Summer trade that dumps Crabbe contract

great move by Marks, getting another asset can't hurt.

I like it. He's an expiring and gives us some back up size. Plus we get another 2nd round pick. Won't be surprised if we trade up in the draft.

EDIT:

Didn't see that he'll be waived. That's even better.

I have a feeling it was cash. Don't see who we could have moved in this situation.

Yawn. They valued the pick not the player here. But, hey, we had some action at least.
