It’s starting to look like a sign-and-trade is the most likely outcome to the Monroe saga but even that comes with the strings of having to find someone who wants to make a deal for the big man.
According to NBA scribe Chuck Myron, the Suns and Pistons could get together for a sign-and-trade between Greg Monroe and Eric Bledsoe but such a deal just might not make enough sense for the Suns even if it indeed makes some decent sense.
"It’s an intriguing idea, but I don’t think Monroe fits what the Suns want to do in their up-tempo attack. They’ve already got Miles Plumlee at center, and Alex Len, last year’s No. 5 overall pick, is behind him. I think they’d be the ones to leave the table on this one, but I think they’d give it some thought first."
Phoenix has made some interesting moves this summer so far, including a sign-and-trade for Isaiah Thomas, meaning that they don’t keep Bledsoe and make sacrifices to do so.
