Do they have any plan at all, other than making the team as stodgy as possible for Monty's comfort?

I keep making references to closing time at the bar because that's exactly what I think is going down here. We're waiting for someone drunk/desperate enough to take Gordon home. We see it every year, teams that get left out get impulsive, emotional, and desperate. We can give Austin Rivers away at any time, but it may take reality setting in on a team with a ton of cap space and a dwindling pool of Free Agents for Eric Gordon to look attractive. "Jodie Meeks got $6 million? Avery Bradley got $8? Maybe Gordon at 2/$30 isn't bad if they take this $10 million expiring off my hands. That's like paying Gordon $10 per which isn't over paying by that much the way prices are right now."

A stodgy team won the championship this year. People all want to follow the small ball trend, but it has won very little and there is only so much talent for going small.

In one of the Asik threads the question of "would there be a better 3 big rotation" came up, and Duncan/Splitter/Diaw came to mind. AD/Asik/Ryno is clearly in the same mold.

I don't think anyone would call the Spurs stodgy- and especially not a frontcourt that featured Boris Diaw. In the playoffs, the had to stop playing Duncan and Splitter together. Not exactly a triumph of Twin Tower philosophy.

SA wasn't stodgy at all. 6th in the NBA in scoring.
They used to be stodgy, but they and the NBA have changed.

Monty has also given Anderson plenty of minutes, so calling us stodgy is kind of misleading, too. Now, if we trade Anderson our for Blatche, we're getting stodgy. Our roster with Davis/Anderson/Asik is quite similar to the Spurs front court as TigerinATL pointed out earlier.

Okay - but how does it look if you switch out Anderson for Monroe?
Could use an upgrade at #2 guard as well. Maybe if the Pels are actually pretty good with EG, then EG will decide he wants to play, but I'm not holding my breath.

It looks terrible. It's also extremely unlikely to even be a consideration for the front office. I doubt Monty would like the move, either. The Ryno-Monroe rumor was pre-Asik. Now, you just have lazy writers/bloggers/fans repeating it without actually thinking:
