Why? You're giving up draft capital and having to pay him more when he'll just sit at least a year. That makes no sense when you can keep your picks, not pay him more to sit, and roll with one of the three on the roster while improving other positions of the team. Draft a QB next year. They did say this was a five year rebuild. There is no need to rush and draft a QB when the team isn't ready to compete for a title yet.

I don't like that Monk's growing up just happened to have occurred in a contract year. Monk reminds me a little of Tyrus Thomas in the contract year play. I don't think the Hornets will make the same mistake twice because Monk will probably be looking to leave the team anyway, if for no other reason, than a chance to start. He won't get that as a Hornet as long as Terry, Devonte, and Melo are playing in Charlotte.

Keep him. Odds are Monk will be playing elsewhere next season since JB and Cliff had jerked him around so much before this season. Plus, JB seems to love the guy, which means Graham will be getting a lot of minutes once he returns from injury.
