His next tweet pretty much says Monroe cares more about money than the game.

When you add the set off amount he'd have to pay back to Phoenix and prorate if for the games remaining, it was only a $500k difference. Monroe probably liked the opportunity better, which he should. Being a bench player on a Finals team is probably better than starting and getting exposed against the Warriors or Rockets.

ETA: Scratch all that. Apparently it's not a prorated amount but $5 million for the rest of the season.

The Greg Monroe $5M contract for 10 weeks of work with the Celtics( plus the playoffs) is equal to a player signing a $13M contract before the season started.

Well Monroe needs to stop with his fake line about how much he wants to play for his hometown Pelicans. He had an opportunity to do so and chose not to.

Why would he stop? That is a compelling narrative to get Ainge to add more $$$.
