Greg Monroe available, good fit for Raps?

[stooley]

Then there is that.

how much does something like that really lower his value though? his value should be pretty well established by now

i mean, there's probably more than one team that wants him so a bidding war should push him to where he's widely perceived right?

his agent is still going to be playing the market to see if he can get a better offer from another team, and if the deal is widely considered a steal, it would be crazy for another team to turn one down that's slightly more expensive.

Or SVG just is not at all savvy at the position he just got and has never held before in his career....He also has a tendency not to filter himself to the media. So maybe it is just a dumb move.

Then there is that.

Offer him 9mill. If he says no then fuck him lol

I think he'd be a great fit here. But NO WAY i break the bank for him.

Original question of thread: No.


My question after hearing this again after a couple of hours: Is this a ruse by SVG to lower his value? Rationale: Teams might offer lower deal thinking SVG/Pistons won't match. I think it has to be considered a possibility. You don't just let assets walk for nothing if at all possible. If the intention is to create sign and trade possibilities, they have lowered the value of the asset which is not bright on the part of SVG/Pistons.

I hope Atlanta gets him.. could make Horford available.. Assuming he's healthy he'd be awesome next to JV.

[thead]

I'd be interested...

How bad is he defensively? Are these correctable things?

[yabadabayolo]

I don't think he's a good fit. I think naturally he's more of a C.

There was a rumour a week or two ago that Atlanta could be interested. I wonder if that means Atlanta is willing to move either Horford or Millsap. I would be very interested in Horford, who I think is more likely to be moved if Atlanta is going after Monroe.

If this is true, Atlanta and Detroit basically did a smith Monroe swap. Lmao

I don't think we got the cap to sign him, he'll want like 12 mill. Are you comfortable giving him the the most money on your team

[Raptorsnz]

He's a very talented player but the Pistons just couldn't really get rid of Smith/Drummond so I see why they're letting him go.

I think he'd be a good fit here, even with his defensive shortcomings, but I'm predicting some team just gives him close to the max or something that we can't match.

Report: Stan Van Gundy will not re-sign Greg Monroe. Monroe is a restricted free agent this summer. (h/t @SeanDeveney)
