The Milwaukee Bucks are doing just great in early going of the regular season. After previous debacles, they are now holding a 6-8 record and currently at the 6th spot of the Eastern Conference division. However, recent NBA trade rumors are saying that they are ready to trade Greg Monroe to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Monroe, who has been in the rumor mills for a couple of months, is now again in the hot seat of another set of trade deals. Monroe seems to be struggling to get his form as he is only averaging 8.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 16 games he has played this season. And that performance seems to be a big drop from his last year production of 15.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game.
And now, the Bucks are said to be decided to trade him and get valuable assets in return. A proposed NBA trade deal is being suggested to the Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans that involves 4 players. Trade scenario is suggesting that the Bucks will send Greg Monroe and Michael Beasley to the Pelicans in exchange for Tyreke Evans and Omer Asik.
This NBA trade rumor seems logical for both teams as some commented. The Bucks can use Asik as a backup center while developing Thon Maker in that spot. They can use Evans as support in SG position and his expiring contract will also help them free some cap space next summer.
On the other hand, the Pelicans can use Monroe as an additional scoring option and as a backup for Anthony Davis. They can also benefit from Beasley who is now playing solid with the Bucks. Beasley can immediately be the starting small forward for them. The trade will also work under the NBA trade rules and salary cap restrictions making it a legal deal for both teams.
Earlier reports by YIBADA English already recommends that the Bucks should trade Monroe right now. Many say that he is not fit to coach Jason Kidd's system and the team might not keep him for long-term. Some say that he might be fitted to playing to other teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets. But the Bucks might look who can give them the best viable offer.
Will the Milwaukee Bucks trade Greg Monroe to the New Orleans Pelicans for Tyreke Evans and Omer Asik? Stay tuned for the latest NBA trade rumors and updates.
