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.

So we’re giving up assets for a downgrade hoping we get more for monk in a separate trade either way it’s idiotic we’re not OKC/houston we don’t have picks to be throwing away while not making the playoffs

The assets in a sign and trade are usually something like "2031 second round pick, 31-56 protected." Or the Bogi trade where we received the rights to Alex Oriaki, who had been drafted 5 years earlier. I wouldn't think we would be sending out real assets.

Except that Kornet is pretty good

He’s a fairly solid backup but not at a bigger deal than Jonas has

Not for nothing but now we have a framework for the eventual Keon extension.

We have to give up something for the trade to be a trade. It would likely be a top 56 protected second round draft pick, or something similar.

Yeah, but the Pistons better be sending one too. Of course this could be Perry just cementing those "relationships" a little further.

The Warriors are definitely trying to do something here. See Kuminga, we are the only team that even wants you! lol.

If they want Monk in a sign and trade for Shroder they better send Holland haha

Lol

I think it’s just postering. I think they would take Monk if we offered it.

The Warriors are being the Warriors. Probably figuring they're doing him a favor letting Kuminga take the QO. If that ends up happening the Warriors played this pretty well.

Another awesome deal.

 

[sactowndog]

PG Schroeder, Carter
SG LaVine, Ellis, Clifford, Monk, TD
SF Murray, Deebo
PF Jones,
C Sabonis, Val, Raynaud

SF Deebo, Clifford
PF Murray, Jones
C Sabonis, Val, Raynaud

[Monk probably traded...for what?]

Yeah just doing those currently under contract. We disagree on Clifford at SF. He was listed as PG/SG. We did this same thing last year with Carter

Don’t you know? Positionless basketball. Jazz band.
