I still like Monta and wouldn't be opposed to keeping him, but if we move him, we better move him for a quality big. Who's available right now that's a quality big? I don't know yet, but I'm sure they'll emerge when teams miss out on big FA this summer and look for a scorer like Monta in return.
I feel that our backcourt can be good, but on the defensive side, we still give up size. We can sort of remedy that by getting our bigs back... or in a perfect world, acquire even better bigs than we have now, but that is likely not going to happen. For the most part, we're going to be stuck with Andris as our starting center.
Defense can get better once we get a Jeff Van Gundy-like coach here who will actually stress real defense, not a gimmick defense like Nelson uses. Once defense is stressed at the top, it should trickle down to the players.
