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

I guess it depends on what his definition of "win" is. 13,000 fans in the seats and annual first round exits are attainable with (more or less) this current mismatched Pellies roster.

That's not really what most of us on Pellies Talk are shooting for. This trade would allow us to better configure the remaining pieces to become a top 4 team (or better) in the West as AD23 continues to beast.

Uh... clearing up cap space to sign free agents the following off-season allows you to basically 'win now.' They aren't winning jack shite this season.

As far as the trade goes... I think it's too much to give up for Monroe. Obviously I have no problem shipping Gordon off but Anderson's contract is so good.

think, if possible, I'd rather trade Anderson for Asik and then trade Gordon for expirings, if that's what the team wants to do with him.


Why on Earth would you prefer that? Monroe is miles better than Asik.
