You could probably just make it a 3 team deal.

I will say this line-up ain't half bad.

PG: Lillard, CJ, Watson
SG: Matthews, CJ, Barton, Crabbe
SF: Wright, Claver, Matthews
PF: Monroe, T. Rob, Freeland
Center: Asik, Lopez, Leonard
 
I can give you my paypal if you wanna drop the hundred in there...
 
Zach Lowe on Greg Monroe

Monroe is a very good offensive player, but he’s a glaring liability on defense in a league getting smaller and quicker. He’s a turnstile trying to contain the pick-and-roll out on the floor — a mess of bad footwork, poor timing, lazy reaches, and bad choices. When Detroit has him hang back at the foul line, ball handlers can zip around him with an easy crossover or launch wide-open jumpers as Monroe, petrified at giving up a rim run, retreats a step farther than most bigs would dare — often with his arms down. Pistons fans complained, with some justification, about Lawrence Frank’s reluctance to play Monroe and Drummond together for much of last season, but Monroe’s total inability to guard stretchier power forwards factored into that choice — just as it should factor into Detroit’s evaluation of things now.

When the Pistons asked Monroe to attack the ball higher on the floor, the mess was almost worse. Point guards can juke Monroe with laughable ease by faking toward a screener, watching Monroe lurch in that direction, and then crossing over the other way and into an unpatrolled lane. Monroe is often late in jumping out above a screen, meaning his momentum is going too hard the wrong way (toward half court) as the opposing point guard revs up to turn the corner. And when Detroit has asked him to hedge sideways, as in the still below, Monroe often arrives too late to cut off the ball handler

You started a thread on Pekovic. Saying it'd probably cost more than you want to spend.

But then you said:



And then...


I said he didn't protect the rim, you came back with this gem:









So, about that 100 dollars you owe me.

Ugh, that was before I paid attention to him. I was looking for size. But shit, I guess I said it... Go ahead and give me your paypal. But once I paid attention, I absolutely hated him, like the quotes I sent your way...
 
Monroe is Hardin on D. He would be as bad as Hickson was. If were aquiring Monroe its to trade him later or because he didnt cost us any of our starters.
 
Gotta love the fact that Mags can man up and admit that he was wrong, and pay up on a pointless wager.

Will rep that when I can...

agreed, and repped him as well, not many will just say oh, crap, guess so. usually the thread gets buried and forgotten about.

But I definitely dropped the ball on that one. Hasn't been my first time!
