What will Detroit do with Greg Monroe?

We probably beat this topic to death this season, but I thought I would bring it up again. Detroit's new GM will have a big decision to make as soon as he takes office. Will he split up the overcrowded front court?

Greg Monroe might not even be an option for Dell and Monty, considering that his defensive numbers are pretty terrible. But Detroit will have close to $20 million in cap space this summer, thanks to the expiring contracts of Villanueva and Stuckey. How will they spend that money? Will they match all offers on Monroe? Let him walk for nothing? Attempt to gain some value via sign-and-trade?

The Piston's wouldn't be thrilled to absorb Gordon's contract with their cap space, but he would provide some much needed help in the backcourt. If they choose to let Monroe go, would they even sniff at Gordon? I don't think any free agents are dying to go to Detroit, so a sign and trade might be their best option.

They may get better offers than Gordon, or they may just rather him walk. But if they choose not to re-sign the big man, $20 million will be sitting in the bank. That money might prove hard to spend this summer, considering that Detroit isn't the most appealing destination and the free agent list isn't exactly booming with prospects.
