Let's not forget that it's a young man's game, more than ever. If CBJ is willing to take 26 year old Monahan (who's been more of a 60 pt center than an 80 pt center), for a 22 year-old PLD, then they are going to want at least one quality young player to balance out the deal, maybe two. Those 4 years are worth something, plus we're getting a faster, more play-driving guy, who will be an 80-90pt guy in a few years.
