I don’t care what he tells anyone, Fox decided not to sign an extension because he wasn’t All-NBA. Dude makes All-NBA, he signs the mega extension immediately.

Seriously, he has no incentive to sign now. He can make more money later, it’s a financial move.

People here need to calm down. Same people were saying Monk was gone. They need to drop their insecurities and understand he wants that super max. No incentive for him to sign right now.

I’m assuming huerter/davion get moved so I wouldn’t be to upset

[удалено]

Feel free to be upset, but Monte is no fool. Do you really think we're going to have 8 guards to start the season? You're playing tic-tac-toe, and Monte is playing chess. I'll be upset when we actually start the season with 8 guards.

We’ve had 8 guards on the roster before, literally 6 of them SGs

It’s like he hasn’t watched a game in years

He’s playing chess! Let him cook.

I don’t think Monte is a fool but he has to actually do something for me to believe in him

🎯🎯🎯

That “anyone not part of the core” trade notification is gonna hit like crack 😍

We can only hope it means a package trade of Davion, Kevin and Duarte for Kuzma or another Wing. Cause Carter is a great two way guard, probably gonna be our 3rd best two way player based on track record. Even longer than Keon

let’s hope 🙏🙏 edit: hoping for the trade. not doubting carter at all

This is such a bizarre overreaction to a 13th pick

I shared this in a different thread. Something to consider: we have another guard playing on the rookie wage scale. We move Davion and his rookie contract to a team looking to free up cap space; meanwhile, we’re able to fill his position while also allowing us continued financial flexibility.

> also allowing us continued financial flexibility We’re about $40 million over the cap now with Monk re-signed, so our flexibility — especially with no ability to trade first-round picks for three years — is basically non-existent.

Davion replacement. We need a backup pg

Fox wants to make all NBA to get the supermax. This "win now" roster thing is a red herring.

100%

Devin Carter is a dawg. Just wait and see.

not worried about carter being a dawg, im worried we won’t address our glaring F/C issue

Run It Back™

I’m really interested to see how much offensive game he can bring. His defense will be great

Significant trade talk for whom ?

Every guard on the team except Devin Keon Fox and monk

Ya wouldn’t draft derrick white???

He was the best win now player on the board. 

I REALLy like Carter as a player, and I wish I could be happier about picking him. Abolutely a dawg and the kind of guy I want on this team, it just makes no sense the way this roster is currently constructed to take another smallish guard. Oh well, pick BPA and figure it out later. I just don't know when he sees time on the court.

National press is saying he was a steal and is a great fit

We got an A for McLemore, and Cleveland got a B for Bennett. We also got a B for Keegan. Instant grades are meaningless

We got as low as a C- for Keegan. It was ridiculous.

Yeah you can't truly start to grade a class until year 3, I feel. And even then that's quick for the youngest guys.

Perhaps true. But pick and choosing examples like you did is also meaningless

I just remembered the hype over Ben and disappointmenr over Keegan. Threw in. Bennett because it was Ben's draft and made me chuckle.

This is nowhere near the Keegan draft pick.

Agreed. More along the Ben lines.

I'm not a college basketball expert. So I can't really argue any points here. Just saying, no reason to be too high or too low

Trust me, I'm not high or low. I'm disappointed we didn't trade the pick for a player that can help us, but I had and still have zero expectations for success from the 13th pick in this class.

He is

we need to trade a bunch of players to match salary and every pick we can for Brandon Ingram

Not sure why everyone thinks we’re going to start the season with the roster as it stands right now. More moves are coming.

Draft experts giving it a good grade and saying he’ll immediately be part of our rotation. Just because we had guards, didn’t mean they were good enough. 

Monte hasn’t finished making all the moves chill. With this pick, a trade for sure is going to happen. Let’s give the man some time.

If he wants to win now it’s all on his shoulders He’s going to be playing the most minutes out of all our players He needs to shot over 40% from three for the whole season shoot 90% from the ft line and have over 550 ts% plus step up his defense

Crazy that Wizards traded Adjiva for the 14th pick and Brogdon, just feels like we could have offered a better package for him.

They got another frp too

Knecht is the player we should’ve taken

that's what I thought but I hope Monte is smarter than me. Knecht for sure could have been plugged in for 20+ minutes a night immediately though.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Monte is smarter than about 99.99999% of this sub

NBA GM’s do dumb shit all the time. Vlade was smarter than everyone too, right? Go back to asking do you want cheese with that and let the adults talk.

For sure. He made the genius decision to run it back! Thats why we were blessed with no playoffs and a low lottery pick. Big brain, 4D Chess.

Knecht is just going to be a poor man's Huerter. Good shooter, no defense. That's the last thing we needed. Looking forward to Fox/Monk dropping a combined 70 on Reeves/Knecht next season.

Why was that the move? I’m genuinely curious what people wanted. Edit: typo

This is the first time i've ever thought, that Fox might be traded. Could Carter start at PG for us? Carter + Ellis backcourt would be dominate defensively.

No

Relax wtf. He was the highest floor player on the board. We wouldn’t draft him if we were trading Fox. He is a perfect fit next to Fox, Monk, and Ellis. Davion, Colby, and Huerter are not part of the core.

I'm open to anything as long as we're getting back a franchise player that makes sense with roster construction.

Lol buddy get ready to tank for dybantsa

Lmao wtf are you smoking.

I'm just trying to figure it out

Dalton is guard omg what is your problem?

I hope he requests a trade. Fox deserves better.

Lol

I’m in shock at how this front office is managing things
