Detroit loves them some Greg Monroe. He's not going anywhere.


Rumblings from his camp that he wants a max and a good situation.

From his agent David Falk:

quote:

When I evaluate things, with a player of Greg's stature: Take the money out of the equation. I can get it from five different teams. 'Are there players I want to play with? A coach I want to play for? A city I want to live in?' My job is to make the money as insignificant as possible (relatively)."

And rumors that Detroit doesn't want to pay Monroe what he wants.

quote:

Detroit isn’t stoked about giving Monroe a max-level contract extension, and if they fall in love with the Smith-Drummond front line, they may dangle Monroe at some point.

Obviously doesnt guarantee anything, but it hints at the possibility of Monroe being available

Lowe had a great article focusing heavily on Monroe. He sums it up with:
quote:

But Drummond projects as a game-changing defender. Monroe does not, and offense-only big men on their second NBA contracts tend to become drains on a team's salary cap who also place limits on their team's ceiling.

I think that I would prefer doing the Ryno for Asik deal over whatever we'd have to give up for Monroe.
