    Age wise, you can build around Lillard and Monroe.

    I'd also throw this out there: is he insurance for when/if LMA bolts the same way we targeted Wes Matthews for Roy?

    Robin is the 6th best center according to ESPN's WARP. Monroe would be our super sub backup.

    Here's what a Detroit fan wants

    McCollum, one of Lopez/Leonard and first rounders?

    I'd give up anyone on our bench but losing trob would hurt like a bitch

    Give 'em Freeland, CJ, and Leonard. Barton, Mo, Greg, TRob, and Crabbe/Claver is pretty good.

    Detroit has cap space so he wouldn't be a BYC player in a S&T. We could send McCollum, Wright, Freeland and a pick.

    Would we give him a max contract? With 15 teams having major cap room I think he gets it this offseason. Would love to add him to our core if we can keep our starters. Not sure how we'd afford contracts for all our starters along with Monroe when Lillard's max deal kicks in.

    I was under the impression that Detroit wasn't going to match any offers for him.

    Either way, this smacks of insurance in case LMA decides to bolt. Or possibly a replacement if Neil decides to deal Aldridge in the near future.

    I think we move TRob, CJ and Meyers in a sign and trade. If we want to keep CJ throw in a future first round pick instead. TRob won't be happy as the 4th big when those guys are getting virtually every minute of the front court. Freeland would be good as a 4th big man who accepts not playing but has good help defense if need be. Meyers is a dissapointment. Losing TRob is sad but there just wouldn't be any chance of a role with that trio in front of him.

    Monroe's been one of my targets ever since Drummond came on strong... if there's a way to get him, you get him, imho.
