Greg Monroe

I want no part of Monroe especially at the max. I want either lamarcus or a defensive center. Though Monroe is a legit up and coming player the defense with him and melo playing a majority of their minutes together scares me lol. 

Getting back to your points, I agree. I felt Monroe didn’t want Detroit not the other way around. I was reading an article online where they had him going to Toronto. Perfect fit. Another "me first" player to add to the "me first" players Toronto has. But bucs make a really good fit for him in my opinion. They definitely need the scoring and have players who can make up for his lack of defense.

Despite playing the victim, you gotta question the lack of foresight from the Pistons. I think it was pretty clear from the moment he declined the extension that he wasn’t sticking around. Only person taking a financial risk like that is someone who really wants to get out of Detroit. 

It became evident that they weren’t making the playoffs at least half way through the season. Even if you only get cents on the dollar, a trade had to take place. 

Instead, they paid Josh Smith to just disappear instead of trading Monroe and seeing if Smith was more productive playing PF. Now Monroe’s gone, and the team is looking at the lottery again.

Also, isn’t Detroit like the most unsafe city in America? I’ve seen Hardcore Pawn….No wonder he wanted to leave…..

I think Detroit is happy to see him go, it will be addition by subtraction.

I like Monroe, but he was stifling Drummond’s development as a post-up player and his defensive deficiencies were glaring.

I’m honestly not sure where he’ll fit in, probably at a team like the Knicks where he can post-up in the triangle.

If Porzingis’ shot-blocking is legit, Monroe and Zinger could actually make a pretty decent frontcourt down the line.

 He’s simply a guy if I was a GM(but I’m not) I wouldn’t touch him. Not an efficient player,has a star style of play while not being good enough to be a star. Worst type of players if you want to win.

I’ll take him on Milwaukee.  He can do all the things Zaza did for us this year, but better.

I’d rather sign him than the other center we’ve been linked to in recent days; Tyson Chandler.  Chandler’s just too old at this point; it doesn’t make sense with the direction this team is going.

 At time slast year Monroe just took over. Monroe is not the greratest player but last year he showed me flashes where he finally was assertive and took over games. Huge loss for the Pistons and for nothing.

 as a season ticket holder for the stones, ive been to a lot of their non basketball events.. and i know greg has done a LOT for the community. sad to see him go. i for one will miss him, and wish him nothing but the best wherever he goes.

This is ridiculous, all the hate Greg Monroe is getting is unwarranted. Sure, he is not a great defensive player, but he is a goot post player, passer, and a good rebounder. I actually find it ridiculous that there is talk that Tristan Thompson will get max but Monroe will not.

 Monroe is a solid player and I think it’s pretty clear that Detroit and him had mutually agreed to part ways after this season so you can’t put the blame on one or the other. Detroit wanted more of a stretch 4 type to pair with Drummond. Hes not a great shot blocker but he isn’t as horrific on defense as some people say he is. He is an excellent rebounder and finisher around the basket, has a very good feel for the game, and can be effective in the high or low post. In this current market, with the salary cap set to jump, hes close to a max level player and someone will pay him. He’d actually be an outstanding fit for the triangle, although I’m not sure the Knicks fit his criteria of a team that’s just a piece away from contention.

I think Monroe really wants to go. He looks really hurt because Detroit acquired Ilyasova. This is, of course, unwarranted, because Ersan was brought in as a scorer off the bench. I’m sure Van Gundy is going to propose a max contract.

Monroe is a very good low post scorer and his midrange shot is OK, not great, but decent. His post defense is pretty solid, eventhough he’s not a shotblocker. Rebounding is great. Where he really struggles is defending the pick and roll. He’s going to receive a max contract somewhere.

 what is the issue with a players testing the free agent waters. Seriously this is what free agency is about.  People get to  personal over when players are making busines decisions but say nothing when management does something.  Detroit was not a great team for Monroe and if I was him I would be leaving too. I think if Wiz moved Nene, Washington would be the best fit for him to play well and win.  Knicks have a chance to move up in a weak East if they can get Monroe and some other pieces.
