    OK, maybe it's been too long since the Blazers season ended, but this name is just not ringing a bell with me. Anyone give me a rundown on the dude?

    I can't imagine we would make a max offer to Monroe, frankly this sounds like his agent blowing smoke to get as much $$$$ as possible, I highly doubt we have any real interest in him - where were Olshey and Stotts last night?

    He's got a very old-school low post game and is rather lead-footed. Quiet, nice guy, but defense not his forte. Think Al Jefferson. This should give you some idea:

    If it's that high, I see there being no chance of Portland being even a bit interested.

    Pistons, to be clear, have made it known they want to keep Monroe. But aforementioned teams are lining up to test Detroit's matching resolve

    So he chose a team with no cap space or real need for Monroe?

    He plays on the opposite block from LaMarcus, FWIW.

    I'm pretty sure 90% of these "rumors" are agents trying to rev up interest in their players.

    So it's just a rumor? This one has me somewhat excited. A cheaper option than LMA, and more of a traditional PF.
    I would suspect that we'd have to include Robinson, and I wouldn't like doing that, but ultimately I'd make the trade. If we can include Wright in the package that'd be a bonus.

    Exactly. He could of picked any team then. Why'd he pick one with a set front court?

    Why Drummond at Center Josh Smith at PF they need a SF and a SG to play next to Jennings, I am fairly certain a package of T Robinson or Joel Freeland, CJ McCollum and at least 1 first round pick would get their attention. Then again maybe they are asking for Matthews and Freeland etc.

    I would not get too excited until we see the offer.

    That's why I think the asking price is Batum.

    I don't like the idea of getting rid of Robinson, but I'd do this. I'd be hesitant including the pick though - I'd at least want heavy protection on it.
    If we could do the trade while keeping all our starters AND Robinson, that'd be ideal - in that case I'd loosen up on the pick. Having Rob/Monroe/LMA gives us so much flexibility - and a ton of assets - for the future.

    Out of DET, ATL, POR, ORL, CLE, you'd think we'd be the most attractive destination.
