Detroit - Minny

[micknugget]

Detroit trades:

Greg Monroe
Charlie V.

Minny trades:
Beasley
Flynn
Randolph
#2 pick

As good as Monroe is, Detroit gets the #2 pick as well as a trio of youngsters. Detroit also unloads Charlie's contract. Minny gets a hell of a Center to put next to Love while not giving up any key pieces.

[DrRay11]

no

[Glenn]

nope

[RegicideGreg]

Three underachievers and the #2 pick in a crappy draft for probably the team's best draft prospect in the last decade and a decent scorer albeit overpaid just to cut some salary. No Thanks

[Hermy]

Minny says no before we do. I actually might pull the trigger on this, trouble is Monroe can play the 5 and the value there is too much to give up for a guy who's telling teams he's only playing SF.

[lospistones]

I do this.

Two #7 picks for two #2s, a #6, and a #14?
A 26/21 year old for 22/22/21/19.

[micknugget]

A new wrinkle.

Detroit makes the trade and then sends the #2 pick and Maxiell (and maybe our early 2nd) to Cleveland for the #4 and J.J. Hickson (which is the deal supposedly offered to Minny).

With the #4 Detroit could get Kanter or Knight.

So.....

Detroit trades:

Monroe
CV
Maxiell
#33???

Detroit gets:

#4
Hickson
Flynn
Randolph
Beasley

Plus we still have our first.

[Vinny]

Hickson played really well down the stretch last year.

Your first trade idea was shot down so you throw in a new "wrinkle"?

I like it lol

Sucks to lose Monroe but in the end he shouldn't be a deal breaker.

#4, Beasley, Flynn, Randolph and Hickson for Monroe, Nova, Maxiell and #33? Without a second thought

Young, athletic, full of potential = hope for the future.

If Monroe does turn out to be a great center, it will cripple us. At least when Darko sucked we were still winning. I would be even more bitter if we gave away a player that wanted to be a piston and played hard on both ends.
