Blazers meet with Monroe

[rig]

Does anybody think we are a realistic chance to sign Monroe if LMA is gone?
Honest question.

We didn't get a commitment out of him today. I think he is waiting for NY to tender an offer and that won't happen until they meet with LA and he turns them down.

Yes. We'd still give him a better chance to win than LA/NY and maybe even MIL.

I have to think Monroe would've preferred to play with LMA, one of the best big man in the league. Monroe also said he wants to win, and with LMA gone, the Blazers aren't going to win as many games. Nevertheless, if the reports are true that our only competition for his services are the Knicks, Lakers, Celtics and Bucks, I suppose our situation would look the best. So hopefully, Monroe chooses us. We sorely need him, since LMA is apparently pulling a Benedict Arnold.

It would be a disaster if Monroe and Aldridge signed with NY

Monroe wants to win. Milwaukie is probably our biggest threat, but i think he ends up here. Hos agent ows us a solid and will push him this way. Plus if and when LA leaves look for us to trade for Hibbert or something to pair with Monroe.

Mediocre man being semi positive. I'm floored.

 

[Schilly]

He was the same way about Aminu....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

@SportsWhispers: It's down to the Knicks, Blazers and Bucks for Greg Monroe. ESPN says the Lakers are out

Stuff is really making me wonder what Neil told Monroe about Aldridge. The question would certainly have come up

My guess is the sentence "you're our guy" was uttered

It could be that Monroe would rather "be the guy" than be a cog for Aldridge to be the guy. What if Monroe is waiting to see if Aldridge decides to stay? Meaning, if Aldridge stays, he's going somewhere else.

Some of the comments he made about how Pistons threw him under the rug and made it Drummond's team could sway me in that direction.

 

[magnifier661]

I feel like our major summer acquisitions will be Aminu, Monroe and trading for Hibbert.

 

[B-Roy]

I would rather start Meyers than trade for Hibbert. What a waste of space.

If we were to land Monroe without Aldridge, we would need another serious scoring option. Who would it be? I know it ain't Hibbert, so don't think I mean that. I just think it could be the move to bring Monroe here. I mean since both are under Falk

 

[B-Roy]

Bright side is Hibbert has only one year left on his deal. Maybe he rehabs his value here.

But I still prefer Meyers.

If you play Monroe, Leonard is much better suited to pair with him. Leonard would basically be LMA light.

We could always hope that LBJ comes over, we trade for Hibbert and Leonard is our starting PF!

No doubt we need a young stud SF who can score, but Monroe , Dame and CJ (Whether he starts or not) are 3 good scorers.

 

[Rob10s14]

We should make an attempt at Tobias Harris and start him at the 3/4 with amino. Along with Monroe ,sign a 2/3 shooter (Gerald green), a big defensive center (koufos) and a backup defensive pg (poor mans Beverly)
Lillard Beverly
green Cj Henderson
Amino, hendo/green, Tobias, crabbe
Tobias, Myers, plums, Noah
Monroe,Koufous, plums, Myers

Fuck

No, without Aldridge, Batum and Matthews, he sees a sometimes clutch-shooting PG who is not a great distributor and is not good at defense and a bunch of guys who have not proved yet they are above average players. I would go to Milwaukee if I was him. Or go to LA and hang out with the movie stars. (ha, ha, just saw that tweet just as I posted this)

 

[Scalma]

Here we go rebuild here we go

Fuck you aldridge fuck you

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is the real confirmation that Aldridge is not coming here, need to go into plan B immediately Olshey. Consider a new coaching staff while you are at it!

 

[Sinobas]

Look on the bright side, if we suck, we might be able to get Sabonis' son next year!

 

[Sinobas]

Andre Miller....where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

 

[maxiep]

I think we take Wojo's tweet as a sign Aldridge isn't coming back.

Put away the pocketbook and save the cap space. Play the youngsters. We'll be a lottery team for the next three years, and that's fine by me. Time to gather assets and focus on improvement from within.

 

[Sinobas]

Thank god our 1st round pick next year that we traded is lotto protected!
