Monk will DEF cost more than $5m.. his qualifying offer is $7.3m alone.. But with the way he has been playing - I assume someone will try to scoop him up with a better offer..

Malik Beasley got a deal of 4yrs $60m ($15m avg) last year and they have about the same stats.. if we want to keep Monk, we might have to give him a 4 year $48-$50m deal..

keep in mind Terry and Bridges will be coming up the year after.. and Batum's $9m we stretched for 2 more years 🤬..

If we hold still at trade deadline and don't make any moves:
Cody + Biz + Graham = $20.6m in cap space at end of year
Do we want to retain Monk for $12m-$13m of our space and take the remaining $7m and find a big man?

Malik Monk at $12mil/yr for the next 4 years = yes please.  Steal.

Just never been sold on Monk.  Guy has shown flashes, but has been remarkably inconsistent.  I don't think we you pay him 12 mil a year for 4 years for a few decent months of basketball.

agreed...i still like graham

would like to have them both

monk is gonna hold out for a max deal anyway

I don't like that Monk's growing up just happened to have occurred in a contract year. Monk reminds me a little of Tyrus Thomas in the contract year play. I don't think the Hornets will make the same mistake twice because Monk will probably be looking to leave the team anyway, if for no other reason, than a chance to start. He won't get that as a Hornet as long as Terry, Devonte, and Melo are playing in Charlotte.

Malik Monk turned 23 last month.  When he came out he was considered the most athletic player in the draft, the best scorer in the draft, and the best shooter in the draft.  Read that again and then look at some of the guys in that class (Bam, Tatum, Fox, Mitchell, Booker, Collins, Allen).  Monk started showing it last year and it’s continued into this year.  

The NBA is all about upside.  That’s why you draft 19 year olds with lottery picks.  Malik Monk has as much upside as any player in this league, nevermind when comparing him against a Devonte Graham or Cody Zeller.

Lock Malik up to a reasonable deal ($12mil-$14mil/yr) and watch him blossom into a *superstar* paired with LaMelo from age 23-27.  Those are the prime years and why you draft a 19 year old in the lottery to begin with.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
