The problem I have with Monroe is how does he pair with AD defensively? I can see how the offense gets better, but fully healthy this team is already a top 10 offense.

He's a 6'11", long, bearded 250lb+ man with a fram to add more mass. According to nba.com, he has held opponents to 46.1% at rim

He has been forced to defend PFs with drummond around, and he isn't the quickest most explosive defender, but that's why he'd be defending Cs here and AD could focus on PFs and help blocks. Guy's averaging 9 boards a game in that crowded detroit paint and wouldn't get manhandled by Deandre jordan or jj hickson for absurd fg % s.
He played well with AD at the team USA camp. See how he had a nice bloxk and allowed AD to run the fast break like he should be doing in this video
As far as offense goes, monroe draws a lot of doible teams and hits a lot of shots and hooks from a few feet out, giving AD space to get in his rebounds.
It would be a great pairing all around.

Why would we trade for another big to get touches in the post. That essentially takes touches away from AD-who isn't going to be a 3pt shooter. This team will just develop as AD gets bigger and moves into the 5 position. The guy is a shot blocker you need him near the rim. Covering hybird/stretch 4s is going to bring him away from the basket. He must be the rim protector going forward. Unless a Sabonis/Marc Gasol type player comes through,but those are few and far between.
