Bill Simmons Hypothetical Pels/Piston Trade
Posted on 11/16/13 at 12:36 pm

NO receives: Monroe, Villanueva (expiring), Stuckey (expiring)
DET receives: Anderson, Gordon, Withey
Yay or No?
I look at it as almost two separate trades. Anderson for Monroe and Gordon and Withey for two expirings. I think the Gordon haters will like it, but I'd like to get a little more value from Gordon (if possible) then just cap space. Plus it's hard to replace Gordon's ability to create his own shot. I guess it all depends what we do with that cap space, but getting rid of our best two scorers in one deal doesn't seem like the best idea.

They could build a better, more rounded team with that deal.
It's a lot to give up though.

Yes please.
Kills 3 huge birds with one stone - legit big man, cap flexibility, and gets Tyreke into a better situation.
We'd have a shaky scoring bench but some breathing room in the offseason to address it.

I see where you're coming from but I don't think we can afford to get greedy with EG10. He could get discontented or injured any second of any game.

do it..getting rid of Gordon for cap space is a good thing...Monroe and Davis would be solid

This is actually a good trade for both teams.
NO pairs AD with a legit, up-and-coming big, while moving Gordon's contract.
DET gets a big that can stretch the floor that would fit MUCH better with Josh Smith and Andre Drummond, while also getting much needed back-court help.

Moving gordons contract is crucial

Benson doesn't want cap space or expiring deal. He wants to win now

I don't hate this trade but I'm not sure what Monroe's ceiling is. The cap flexibility would also be nice but I think we give up too much.

I proposed a similar trade in previous thread my trade was:
Gordon
Anderson
Rivers
for
Monroe
Villanueva
Stuckey
Singler
I like it. Monroe and Davis would be a formidable front court for years to come. Tyreke and Holiday would be a solid back court. In my trade I would have Singler or Morrow starting at the 3(or Aminu). Stuckey would be decent coming off of the bench as the third guard.
ETA: Monroe is a free agent after this season, but he is from New Orleans and the trade would open enough cap space for a max level deal from the Pelicans.

i love greg monroe though
stuckey moves to evans' role and plays backup point. he's underrated as a third guard
monroe would work well with davis as 1-2 punch on offense. they'd do great in the high-low, and monroe is a great passer...but monroe's D isn't that great

The thoughts on a Davis/Monrow front court is rather arousing
Posted on 11/16/13 at 5:08 pm to mm2316
Isn't Monroe more of a PF than a C or am I mistaken?
