How many contenders does he start for? We might sell him on the idea of playing big minutes with LaMarcus. I think Rolo would be best at 25-30minutes a night; LMA is getting older and could be more fresh with 32mpg so in theory that leaves 34-39 minutes for Monroe.

This is what I envision. Let Rolo start and get us off to a solid vet start at the center position, but don't hesitate to bring in Monroe . . . who might actually get more mins per game than Rolo.

TRob's trade value has never been higher, but he is just JJ Hickson without the ego. We just proved those guys are $2 mil players.

If the Pistons want TRob in a deal for Greg Monroe than that is an easy deal for me to do

Not even a single shred of doubt. TRob is limited and a career bench player.
 
He's going to get close to the max.

He's a horrible fit next to LMA due to his defense.

LMA ....on the block?

Intriguing! But you've got to think that Detroit will be getting other sign-and-trade offers, so I'm not sure simply members of our league-worst bench are going to cut it. And it would be a huge mistake to give up any starter, especially Lopez.

Remember, Stan Van Gundy's running the show in Detroit now. You can't expect latter-day Dumars folly.

Sounds great. But someone tell me why Detroit would do this? I would think they would need Rolo.

Agreed, and that's a deal-breaker (or should be).

Personally I think Monroe is a little overrated. A younger Al Jefferson. (Who, admittedly, had a good year last year...)
 
Blazers make big contract extension pitch to LA and now we hear the blazers want to sign and trade for Monroe. Is that a sign that LA resigning is in doubt?

I said before that one option would be trading LA and signing Monroe. I just find it interesting that this is coming out now.

LA for Wiggins and Monroe to replace him?

Wouldn't Monroe have to agree to the sign and trade?
 
Why would Detroit want lopez they got a center in Drummond. They do need a SG though. Matthews? Mccollum?

I told you guys there was something fishy about the timing of that leak. I think the Blazers leaked it because they wanted to be able to justify to the fans that they at least tried to re-sign him before dealing him.
 
I'm not sure the Pistons necessarily want Lopez

I mean they do have Drummond

They could want Wesley/Trob or something

Batum? (I thought Drummond was a PF for some reason) He's playmaker, in the right range to have "filler" around him in a deal, and was our lowest ranked starter in a role that is easyish to replace (Parsons?)
 
He is definitely able to post up and be a big body. His defense sucks big balls though. But it's a price you pay I guess

Hey, if they can get a really good player back in a trade for him, it makes sense to do all of this now before it leaks out he wants out or wont re-sign.
 
What Batum brings to our team is not easy to replace. Gimme a break

The interesting thing is there was nothing negative that was rumored to come out of that meeting. You would think if they were denied completely even with the 108 mil, it would have come out some how.

I'm wondering if we already have a trade in place for Aldridge, and we're trying to get Monroe to replace him.
 
My dream would be trade Meyers, Wright, Crabbe, future 1st round pick completely unprotected for Monroe. Throw in second first round pick if need be.

Rolo/Monroe/Freeland
LMA/TRob / Clavier
Batum/ MLE (Marvin Williams or Matrix?)/ BAE (Aminu)
Wes/ Barton/CJ
Dam/ Mo (non bird FA)/ Ridnour (vet min)

Follow a Spurs model of playing everyone less than 30mpg.

I wouldn't move him just so I could have a lineup of LA, Monroe and Rolo. Blazers did that once before a long time ago with Sheed, Grant and Sabas. They didn't stick with it because there wasn't a natural three in the bunch. Don't think there is with this version either.
