If it is Monk for Schroeder that is terrible. Like "what the hell are we doing" levels of terrible. But that isn't what anyone said. It says Schroeder will be a sign and trade. Separately, it says Monk will be the odd man out. I still think it is probably a Schroeder for second round pick sign and trade that allows Detroit to create a TPE and allows us to keep our MLE intact. Then, I would assume we would acquire some other asset for Monk in a separate trade. So I think the appropriate question will be is whether we would rather have Monk or rather have Schroeder plus the additional asset.
And if I am wrong, and it is Schroder for Monk, I agree that it is terrible.
It's not terrible but the Kings would be getting the worse end of it for sure. Giving up value for someone you can just outright sign anyway? It creates no cap space. Doesn't do much at all. If the Pistons want to create a MLE sized exception they need to send a pick back.
