I’m not understanding the timing of the Monroe buy-out. Wouldn’t it have made more sense for McDonough to hold on to him for another week in case someone approached them with an offer or a team needs an expiring in a 3-teamer? I could have seen the Pelicans getting desperate and then doing the same Mirotic trade for him. Maybe the Cavs need to pair him with a Frye, etc with PHX getting a smaller 2 year deal back. This must have been pushed by Sarver to ensure they save money right? I would have sat him until the deadline before doing the buy-out..
