    I think after we see the video of him peeing on himself, Adam Silver should ban him from the League and the Pistons should terminate his contract.

    After that, he can be quartered at halftime of the first Pistons homegame.

    So some sadist cops wouldn't let a drunk guy use the bathroom? That'll teach him.

    .089 is all he blew. DUI isn't good, but that's literally less than three beers.

    Not allowing DUI arrestees to go to the bathroom is a routine torture method that police use. It's normal for those arrested to urinate in their pants.

    The article says that police lied to Monroe that they wouldn't tell the media that he pissed in his pants (while they took a couple of hours to book him).

    Who wants Monroe? Any fan with a brain.

    I don't think the police leaked it. It probably got released via FOIA or whatever else media uses to get access to the police reports.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I really hope those were intentional urination jokes.

    And I'd still want Monroe on the Blazers; it would just depend on what he cost, in gold and treasure.

    .09 . . . he wasn't even really drunk. Strange that he pissed on himself.

    If I'm Monroe, I'm taking some deal . . . with his defense he really doesn't stand a chance.

    Again, standard police MO. Torture the 'drunk' guy by not letting him use the bathroom until he urinates on himself. It's also hilarious. To cops.

    Never wanted him in the first place. He's got a little J.J. Hickson in him (aka, gaudy personal stats, but doesn't really help his team win).

    Who would we give up to get him? Lopez? Aldridge? Even if there was some way to get Monroe while keeping both Lopez and Aldridge, Monroe wouldn't be happy coming off the bench. He's been a starter for the last three years. His production peaked his second season and has gone down each season since. His net production has never been that great (again, very Hickson like) and according to 82games.com, his net production was negative last season.

    Also, like Hickson, he wants a big contract and he wants to start. No thanks, he ONLY big I want on the current Pistons roster is Andre Drummond. If Neil can pull that off, he truly is a genius.
