    Insane timing also, as someone recently tweeted that its about WHEN you go into the luxury tax... about spending the money at the right time, not when you're on the brink, but when you're going to actually CHALLENGE for titles.

    This move would put us as a legit OKC/Spurs contender.

    Probably because he's restricted and more in the second-tier talent-wise. He's a big name, but with those two marks, he probably has to be a sign-and-trade. That slows the urgency.

    Or it could be we're only 90 minutes deep...

    Keep in mind that Aldridge improved his scoring by 2 points and his rebounding by two rebounds playing alongside Lopez last season. I don't think we should mess with that. I'm fine with getting Monroe but not at the expense of Lopez.

    Olshey Rocks! I think the trading a starter idea is a smokescreen. We knew Earl Watson was leaving and Dorell Wright didn't even get an exit interview. Hawes or Monroe are going to be targeted to fill Wright's position for bench scoring. Wright, Claver, Crabbe and/or Leonard, Freeland will be expendable. CJ, TRob and Barton will stick here I think

    I'd be hardpressed to give up Batum... but DAMN I love me some Monroe... Not for Lopez, though.

    The Atlanta Hawks contacted Greg Monroe tonight, according to source close to the situation. ATL's interest in Monroe is very real.

    I don't understand Atlanta wanting Monroe.

    Man, I swear, somebody dropping a rumor like this in here get's more excitement than a bunch of teenagers discovering the porn channel while the parents are out of the hotel room.

    Yeah I don't get the people who want to trade Lopez and Wes or trade Batum.... our starting 5 was elite last year and hung with the best contending teams. We just need a couple good bench options, we don't need to mess with any of our starters.

    I don't get the people that thinks you can acquire something for nothing why Detroit would be hot for such an idea (Not saying you do). To get something, you have to give something up. He's 15 and 10 guy. Defense or no defense.

    Well they are reportedly fine with letting him walk. So if they get anything it's on the house, so to speak.

    If RFA Greg Monroe gets max offer, Pistons will have a tough call to make. Sign-and-trade a "high possibility" in that case, source says.
