From the move of 24th pick it surely shows Monte wanted to add that big player, it just didn’t work as he expected. I appreciate Monte but let’s not try to look for a silverlining for everything he did.
I don't like the idea of having a 30m+ Grant in the next 4 years honestly, and you lock yourself up with a Fox-Sabonis-Grant core. If it is Kuzma, jeez..
I prefer we make the pick. We will probably give away the pick to ATL next year, meaning we won't have 1st round rookie contract on the team for 2 years. I do think we have some pressure after Sabonis and possibly Monk's renewal. And you would want to have rookie contract to balance it out...
