Every crappy, rebuilding team should have a guy like Nick Young.  Raptors had it with Mike James, and some of his interviews were awesome.

What are people's thoughts on Greg Monroe?  I can't believe the Pistons let him become a UFA after this year.  His 2nd/3rd years were really solid, but he sort of levelled off after that.  He seems like a heady player and can clearly pass the ball as well.  Could he be a guy as a 3rd option that could help someone?  I don't watch him ever, I picture him being terrible on D but I have no idea.

Good offensive big man, best suited to play C. Not a good defender, which diminishes his value significantly. 
 
 
He would be a perfect piece in OKC next to Ibaka.
 
 
Lambs+Adams+McGary for Monroe. Who says no?

OKC when they realize they can't resign Monroe

I just can't see how a guy who averaged 16-9-3 on at like 21 years of age can't help a team.  I could see the Spurs, for example, signing him and him suddenly being an awesome contributor.

blame him, not us. he hasn't shown the ability to be a max player but that's what he wants and.. no one offered him that this last offseason. i don't blame him for wanting out but he's not a #1 guy, maybe not even a #2 guy and he's becoming a diva.

 

[Pugz]

that being said, him and dre don't fit as a duo and idc what anyone else said. theyre both low post big.

2 - 0 with Jodie Meeks #TheRun

[RipCity32]

Serious question: what do you see as Drummond's ceiling?  I get that his stats are gaudy, especially last year, and I don't watch him enough to comment.. but I get the feeling he's just a super athletic big.  Basically a competent version of DeAndre Jordan type.  Or do you actually envision him as a franchise player type of big?  I don't see it but again, I don't watch him often.

 

[travesy3]

Not to say he isn't a really valuable player, especially if he develops on the defensive end.  I just get the feeling from some people they'd view him as a franchise guy.
