You can’t score 20 points per game in the NBA and not have outstanding offensive skills.

So you can’t say with any type of consistency that Monroe doesn’t have the skillset to be a first option, and then in the next breath claim he could be a 20-10 guy if he were the first option.

That makes no sense.

And that says nothing about how incredibly rare 20-10 guys are in the entire history of the NBA.

listen teddy, tay is a bum. he has a bad attitude.
the idea that hamilton’s rep has been hurt by this but prince’s reputation has not is something that i have been confused by since 2009. i would love to see kaman in detroit. we should be the gm’s of our favorite teams so that we can make this trade happen

Gulker, teams can absolutely include multiple players in a sign-and-trade in the previous CBA (no current CBA anymore).

Not contradictory…put the ball in Monroe’s hands every time down the floor and you’d see double double turn into 20-10. 20 points has much more to do with shot attempts than scoring ability. But you wouldn’t understand that.

If you can make this deal, I”ll throw in $2 to get him out of here. Tay is overrated and disfunctional, not a team person.

i didn’t know that. How about two separate deals: Sign and Trade of Chris Kaman for Tayshaun Prince in a front loaded deal, than Ryan Gomes for Jason Maxiell straight up.

Under the current CBA, you can’t include multiple players in S&T’s. So you’d have to swap Kaman for Prince, and then come up with a separate trade for the rest.

I’m a Clipper fan who wants to see a sign and trade of Chris Kaman and Ryan Gomes for Tayshaun Prince and Jason Maxiell. The hypothetical Tayshaun Prince contract would be front loaded in its structure:
4 years $32 million with $30 million guaranteed for Tayshaun Prince….
First year around $12 million, second year $8 million, third year $7 million, fourth year $5 million, with a team option of a $3 million buy out for the fourth and final season
His contract become more reasonable after his second season.
