Yay, the backup 2, behind Gordon and Rip who both want starter’s minutes. And Stuckey who will probably get significant minutes at SG.

now jerebko can be backup 3 and Daye can be backup 2.

this is good, we keep a high performing player at a low price…. instead of letting valuable players go for nothing, and and keeping the underperformers.

Fair enough. I think Monta is underrated. he gets a reputation as an inefficient gunner. But he’s actually a decently efficient gunner. Which is a huge difference. But yeah, I basically feel like Ellis or Curry would make a good trade partner for Jefferson or Millsap. And at that point, I’d love for Detroit to take Biedrins in exchange for either SG just to get one off the roster. Minor parts like Jerebko or Daye may also need to change hands. But I still feel like the basic structure is reasonable.

I think Utah could do better for Al Jeff. They’d probably want to move him to cut salary. Plus taking Monta also takes minutes from Alec Burks, a player who I think was a good get for them in the draft. I’d love it for Detroit though, even if Biedrins continues to suck.

And Daye’s ADP drops 30 places.

What’s bad is that it runs 4 years. You want to be able to guarantee him off the books in 3 years when BG and CV leave for the potential of a big free agency.

The Pistons can’t do a S&T once they’ve signed him. They have to wait a while now before he is eligible for trading.
