It’s not that Monk is not attractive, but the Warriors’ mind is completely on “word appointment”

Even though the King restarted the trade negotiations with the Warriors about Kuminga, there was still not much progress. Although there was an instant combat power like Monk in the bargaining chips, the Warriors were still unmoved.

According to reporter Amick, the biggest obstacle to the Warriors' trade is Monk, and his player options do not match the Warriors' plan. Judging from his contract with the Kings, the last year is the $21.5 million player option for the 27-28 season. He is eligible to choose whether to execute it in the summer of 2027; if the Warriors get him through the trade, they may have to pay Monk a year's salary when the contracts of Curry, Butler and Green expire at the same time.

In response to this, former NBA player Jeff Teague bluntly stated that Monk is very suitable for the Warriors and can become the next Poole or even stronger.

This view is not unreasonable. Last season, Monk played 65 regular season games for the Kings, averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. His shooting percentage was 43.9% and his three-point shooting percentage was 32.5%; from the perspective of offensive efficiency, Monk's data is relatively average, but this does not prevent him from becoming the sixth man in the excellent team. The Warriors and the Kings' competition in the past must be very impressive. Monk's ball-holding attack against Trekley has no temper, and giving enough ball rights can help the team solve the problem.

Although the Warriors now have two major core players of the ball holding the ball, Curry and Butler, there is always a lack of a defender on the bench who can score with the ball like Poole in the past, which is something that Boger cannot do; although Melton may come to the Warriors, no one can guarantee that he can finish the new season healthy. The Warriors still need a defender to serve as the sixth man to share the pressure of Curry and Butler to hold the ball. Monk has proven his strength and is fully qualified for this role, and his assisting ability may still be above Poole.

Under the blessing of the Warriors' pass-cut system, Monk's offensive effectiveness is expected to be improved. You can understand it by referring to the former Wiggins.

But where is the snap point? The Warriors management cannot see Monk's ability. The only explanation is that the boss wants to do something big.

The management has to execute the boss's will. After all, Curry, Butler, Green and Horford, who is about to sign, will end in the summer of 2027. At that time, only Moody and the Warriors may have a contract waiting to be executed.

Previously, reporter Amick also said that the obstacle to the Warriors' trade is the player options of his contract. How should we understand this? In fact, the Warriors want to have ample salary space in the summer of 2027 to sign big-name players. After all, superstars such as Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Davis will become free agents at that time; if there is a chance, the Warriors will inevitably strive to open up a new era.

This explains why the Warriors made the contracts of all veterans end in the summer of 2027, most likely to be pursuing Antetokounmpo and Jokic. The Lakers already have Doncic, and Antetokounmpo and Jokic are unlikely to go to Los Angeles. The Warriors need a superstar to take charge after Curry, so that they can maintain their record, team market value and box office revenue, and maximize the interests of the league. So, in the summer of 2027, the chances of big-name stars joining the Warriors are quite high.

Furthermore, if the Warriors sign and exchange Monk at this time, they have to take advantage of Hilde or Moody to complete the salary balance; after all, due to BYC restrictions, once Kumingga's signing and exchange operation is carried out, their salary can only be balanced at half. The Warriors cannot provide him with an annual salary of more than 40 million yuan, which will break through the second rich line and cannot use the mini middle class to sign Horford. Hilde and Moody's are both good rotations, and the management may also trade in the middle of the new season. These two people are not suitable for sending them away at the moment.

The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit. Business is about profit. The NBA has always been a business organization. The Warriors management must maximize the interests of the boss; when considering the problem from this perspective, everything makes sense.
