you have been following along this season, I like writing about the Pelicans acquiring Greg Monroe. It began with an article at the beginning of February, spelling out a trade for Monroe before the full extent of Ryan Anderson's injury was known. In May after looking at Dell's history of big acquisitions I again focused on Monroe coming to New Orleans. Just a week later Stan Van Gundy was hired in Detroit and I discussed another trade package for Monroe. You get it, I have a lot of different options on getting Greg Monroe.
Detroit Bad Boys, disagrees that the Pelicans are a good trade fit for the Pistons. Their scenario involves the Pistons getting Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday for Greg Monroe and Brandon Jennings. I do not believe that is a deal the Pelicans would pursue, considering the assets they sent out for Holiday and the value the franchise places on defense at the point of attack. Among the more hilarious things in the comments, you will find a DBB fan equate Ryan Anderson with Josh Harrellson. Harrellson has 265 CAREER points in the NBA. Ryan Anderson scored 436 while playing in just 22 games last season.
The purpose of today's article is not to convince Detroit of a trade. It is to convince you, our readers at The Bird Writes, why the Pelicans should acquire Greg Monroe. Not how, but why. So let's get started.
