Underrated part of Monroe's game is his passing out of the post. With this roster, we have the ability surround him with shooters and really take advantage of his post scoring skills.

He's a poor mans JV everywhere except passing. He's a great passer and easily the best of our frontcourt players.

He’s not an upside guy like Wood, but he’s a decent plug and play option at that price.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

$2.2M is the vet minimum.. which means for tax purposes it costs only $1.5M. Great deal.
In terms of fit.. we have a true backup center for JV in case JV ever gets injured. And he's an elite rebounder.. something we lacked when we had Poeltl and Siakam on the bench.
Would have preferred to seen a guy that can play with JV.. but you can't really complain about Monroe for the minimum.
Great job Bobby!

Like this signing, but the rotation is jam packed. Hopefully he is not coming in expecting 20 MPG, because if so we need to squeeze one of our wings out of the rotation (that is, another one alongside Norm).
I could see them giving Ibaka rest nights, like one a week, and they could find big minute nights for Monroe that way.

golden wrote: View PostI dunno. I'm pretty sure we're shopping Ibaka as hard as possible and Monroe's only here one year. Even JV is probably being offered, for the right price. And Skal still needs a year or two to be ready to contribute on a championship team - yes, championship calibre team. I'd look at it more like a developmental roster spot. He came out way too early from college, but you can never blame a kid for taking the money when it's available.
I like the idea of buying low on Skal as a project, I just don’t see a deal happening this year. With Monroe there is no longer a need to make a deal for.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
