Bucks - Faried
Nuggets - Monroe

Bucks get defensive pf and center for small lineups. Also helps the rebounding issue, and gives bucks trade flexibility (Henson, Faried, Teletovic all have tradeable deals especially if Thon does well) . Helps cover the lack of a real backup SF since Giannis and Parker can always play it. Makes Middleton log all ~36min at SG, so less pressure on young guys behind him.

Nuggets get expiring deal that frees up even more cap room to both resign Gallinari and aquire new free agents next year. If the unlikely fit works then they can resign him too. If Monroe doesn't work with Jokic etc., give core young players more PT as they aren't worried about winning yet.

I don't hate this either. No one likes Monroe on here though.

Faried and Defense aren't in the same sentence. and i think Monroe just needs to play next to AD in order to be a 18/ 9 guy he is capable of.

Yeah not defensive, idk why I typed that. Maybe I was thinking more so than Tele and Parker currently are, the change of scheme may help him out just like one could for monroe.

a) faried isn't defensive, like everyone has said.

b), what are you talking about thunderfan? seriously, do you read what you write before pressing reply?

He needs to be next to anthony davis to bring him to the 18/ 9 potential he could be. he's averaged like 16 and 9 for the last 5 years. So playing with anthony davis will break the flood gate and add 2 points? Like that would make him finally max out that potential with the same rebounds but now a whole whopping 2 pts more? good point. seems valid.

Love the trade. Thunderfan might not be up to snuff on Monroe. 15/ 9 consistently for his whole career. Not that any of this is relevant.
