im not down on monroe brehs. hes someone when melo goes to the bench can get us some buckets which we desperately need. hes also 25 years old and has the ability to become a better player defensively, not talking a monster, but he can definitely improve and be fine. go after marc no doubt about it, but a 25 year old center who averages 16 and 10 on a good percentage is :ehh: with me. better than signing an amare type which we usually do. he can always out play his contract, which im sure is why he would want an early player option.

In this instance you never know, the Grizz are on the verge of falling off and Phil does have Gasol ties. The Lakers are in no position to get Marc because of how they treated Pau, so he clearly does listen to his brother, and since your GM is the coach that helped Pau win two titles....well...


This would flip the knicks future, quickly.

But I'm not in a position to hold out on that tiny thread of hope.

Not a good fit because he's too ball dominant. I don't trust that he could be as effective if you cut his usage rate, especially not for the price he should command.

Monroe is cool, he'll probably sign a shorter contract and try to opt out after 2 years to get that cap goin up money, which is a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it. Affalo is washed though, there's better options out there for sure, and I'm still holding out hope for Danny Green.

Monta Ellis chucks...it would essentially become ISO ball split between him and Melo.

Rondo is smart enough to play in the triangle but he will occasionally go off the rails and give zero fukks

I see brehs :ehh:

I felt he had a good run in Dallas before the Rondo trade and was actually starting to play more under control, but indeed he is ball dominant. I do feel we could use some of that energy :mjcry:

We'll see who we get :yeshrug:

I like him on the kings if they get rid of collision and keep boogie. I would also like them to get more defenders
