4.) Greg Monroe

Greg Monroe is just 26 years old and seems to be on the trade block constantly over the past couple of years.

More from The Smoking Cuban

The big man signed a three-year, $50 million deal in 2015 in what looked like a good move for Milwaukee, but has yet to pan out over the last couple of years. Monroe is in the second year of that deal with a player option for next season at $17.8 million that he will most assuredly pick up.

With Jabari Parker out for the season once again and Milwaukee sitting outside of the playoffs, could they pay the price of a future first for someone to take Monroe off their books? Would Dallas do that?

In this situation, Dallas would probably send a package around Bogut and another player for the price of a year and a half of Monroe and a future first round pick. If the Bucks would give up next year’s pick, that would be huge in the deal.
