Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

True... but I will say at least Monk can get a team into an offensive set when he is being pressured lol

I actually liked Monk at lead guard, when he had a defensive guard playing along with him. Apparently Sabonis did not believe in it....and Monk himself didn't do it any favors by publicly implying that he wasn't comfortable in the spot. Maybe he and Sabonis talked about it and decided that it just wasn't going to work for the best?

Not sure, but I do know that it would have been a whole lot better than signing Shroder and Westbrook. Could have likely increased the value of Monk, Ellis, and Carter.

Monk was really good in that spot when Fox was here. Felt like it was natural but not forced, and at anytime he had Fox to take the pressure off. When Fox left, and he was next to Lavine who sucks, he suddenly got overwhelmed.
Next to Carter or Nique who can also handle, I think it works.

He was starting with Keon, when they went on a legit lengthy win streak, while Fox was out and just prior to his trade. That was the guard duo I wanted to see finish out that season, but Ranadive was lusting for his fantasy in Lavine
