If the first round pick had panned out, you might view that trade differently.
Iggy ceased being a very good player at that time. Trading him was a good idea.
Trading Monny now only makes sense if Calgary knows he will never be an effective player anymore. That would imply chronic medical issues that aren’t going away. Since presumably any team trading for him would have the same medical reports, hard to imagine any team trading for him.
Calgary needs to keep Monny and see if he establishes some health, production and value. Only then can they decide if trading him will help the team. Or not.
But the current dream of trading Monny valued as a 60-65 point centre (because he is broken down due to physical imitations) is just that, a dream.
