This. And I am also starting to believe that there really never was a deal on the table at any point in time that would've made us a WCF/chip threat before he entered/enters Free Agency.
Amick: De’Aaron Fox requests trade

I’m not sure how it’d work because the last guy who got banned from the sport for gambling was on a minimum contract lol

I’m pretty sure Klutch thought a BI deal was it.
That's why I can't take half the people that hate Monte seriously. They would have trade machined us back to the gerbil years.

I understand he’s made bad moves but would you not swap him out today for Monty?
Tetsujin
The Game Thread Dude
Of course I would. That’s not what I’m saying though. I’m saying that Monte has made a bunch of good moves (and was GM of the Year two seasons ago) to the point that I’m not sure we’d necessarily get a better GM if we fired him.
That would have been what, 2-3 FRPs? For a guy on an expiring who wants to get maxed? In a way, it may have worked out better than Deebo, but if he only plays in 18 games like he has this year for NOP and we get to January and Fox asks out we are F'd beyond belief.
hahaha. Do they rep him?

BI is in fact Klutch

We would have Herro/Monk if the trade happens
Also have to have an owner that lets you trade a star for picks which thus far Vivek hasn't been super keen on. I think DMC situation was clouded by the fact Vivek did not want to give him the super max without a playoff appearance.

No, my proposal had Monk going to MIA.

Pretty sure your contract is off the books if you get kicked out
1% chance? Can’t mortgage the franchise’s future for a 1% chance. If Fox wants to go - move him for the best deal. Then move DeRozan to a good team for the best deal you can get. Then move Huerter and Lyles for the best deal. Tank this year by giving lots of playing time to the young roster. Then build aggressively around Sabonis starting next off season.
This season just got trashed. There is no saving it.

Personally I don’t know enough to not like Monty. I am bringing him up only if this team finally decided to do a proper rebuild, I would assume we wouldn’t trust the guy who has built this current team to rebuild it. The only way to do a proper rebuild would be to start completly over, which wouldn’t be hard because we already have an interim coach. Hire the new GM and let him bring in the new coach.
Thanks I was too lazy/angry to look it up but figured he was. Did he sign after he was moved in the AD deal going "wow, this guy makes things happen?"

Why would we trade monk? We’re not blowing it up if monks traded so is Sabonis you don’t trade monk for Herro while trading fox

At least we’d have players over 6’3
Monte did good given the specifications his owner required - Vivek wanted playoffs, drought to end, it was a priority. Now maybe he should look at how OKC was built after they peaked.
Fox has asked out, this team has peaked. Follow the road map.

I'd much rather keep the current interim coach and see what he can do over the span of an entire season.

Ask the post-Kawhi Toronto Raptors how that plan worked out for them.

I explained it in my post already.
Monk & Herro would be a very weak defensive backcourt. And it’s one thing to have that weak of a defensive backcourt with a rim protector at C, but we have Sabonis back there. Not a recipe for success.

The only way a small market wins is the OKC/Hinkie path I’d say go give Hinkie a blank check but the nba won’t allow it. Can’t let that guy win but we can let players run the league

Oof a 1st for Collins would have been rough

I realize all this rebuild talk is probably moot considering who our owner and 2nd in command are. Matina and Vivek rule this place with an iron fist.

The Game Thread Dude
The thing is that you probably don’t even need to do a full rebuild if you get the ATL picks in a Fox trade though. Those are potential lotto picks without you even needing to be bad.

Oh god. This team is really gonna give fox what he wants and blow all of their 1st round picks to get average players here to keep Fox happy aren’t they?
This team and its fans act like we are really losing something spectacular. Dude isn’t a number 1. We still can’t make the playoffs. Fox can’t make the all star game. What’s keeping Fox gonna do for
This franchise? Maybe we make the play in?
Sounds like money well spent!

more likely risk adverse Monte wasn’t doing it unless he felt sure Fox was going to stay. So the checked with Fox and got a bucket of cold water in the face is my personal speculation.
Presti invented the "Hinkie" path (although Seattle lost their team in the process). Presti went from a 40 win season to two 20 win seasons and right back on top.
Hinkie is Wish/Temu/We have Presti at home.
He busted so many picks and the team has yet to clear the second round which is where they were when he tore them down and they failed to win 30 games for the next 4 years, Monte is a better talent evaluator.
