He was drafted in the 2nd Round for crying out loud...try Joe Smith or Todd Fuller, Monta's exceeded expectations by FAR.

I knew you would pop a shit over that one... read the question: "you think the team would have a better image without"

I didn't say he was a bust, just that I think his image and personality hurt the team.

Lol damn No Longer DEAD, I give you mad reps for taking the time to do all this but I was talking currently right now.

Also, I wasn't nearly talking draft busts just overall, like the NBA would be better without him on that team.

so basically players that SHOULD be doing more? here's the names that come to mind for each team:

atlanta - marvin williams (nearly impossible to argue this one, even with johnson signing a max contract)
boston - marquis daniels (has done nothing for the celtics)
charlotte - tyrus thomas (hasn't exactly been a bust for the bobcats yet, but was for the bulls)
chicago - luol deng (gets payed a lot to be a role player)
cleveland - antawn jamison (brought in to win a championship, but disappeared in round 2)
dallas - dirk nowitzki (still not a leader), tyson chandler (for other teams)
denver - kenyon martin (injuries have made his impact minimal)
detroit - ben gordon, charlie villanueva (not as advertised last season)
golden state - brandon wright (has done virtually nothing after being traded for jason richardson)
houston - trevor ariza (overshot his abilities his first season in houston)
indiana - tj ford, mike dunleavy (overpayed)
los angeles c - baron davis (just happy to be los angeles), blake griffin (yet to play a game)
los angeles l - shannon brown (didn't learn his role), lamar odom (got a big payday to be average most nights)
memphis - hasheem thabeet (#2 overall pick got minimal playing time last season)
miami - mario chalmers (failed to progress into a starting point guard after a good rookie season)
milwaukee - michael redd (not the same player, but makes the same money)
minnesota - darko milicic (still has work to do to become a solid backup center)
new jersey - devin harris (was an all star 2 seasons ago, but fell off bad last season)
new orleans - emeka okafor (took on a huge risk with his contract and didn't pan out), chris paul (team leader has demanded a trade)
new york - eddy curry (overpaid and out of shape)
oklahoma city - nenad krstic (inability to be physical has left the thunder soft in the middle), bj mullens (sucks)
orlando - rashard lewis (solid player, but not for the money he makes)
philadelphia - elton brand (signed a huge contract then disappeared)
phoenix - earl clark (still not an nba player when he was expected to eventually replace amare)
portland - greg oden (yeah)
sacramento - no one (udrih is a little overpaid, but he played well last season is doing a good job helping with evans)
san antonio - antonio mcdyess (expected to make an impact, but got outplayed by an undersized rookie)
toronto -jose calderon (hedo and bosh are gone, so his salary and shared starting duties make him the clear choice)
utah - andrei kirlienko (hasn't done much the past few seasons, but makes over 16 million)
washington - gilbert arenas (the hole he dug for the wizards was unmatched this past season)
