    I like Monroe because I look at him as insurance. But I wouldn't do the trade if they want a starter. I would do Robinson, CJ, and Leonard.

    And I think that's a very fair deal for DET. I would be shocked if they can get a significantly better offer.

    I think Detroit would rather do a deal with Portland than let him go to orlando or Cleveland for nothing.

    And this is why it would be silly to think we would HAVE to give up a starter. Unless another team comes in from out of the blue and offers up a really good starter, I think a package built around CJ is quite decent for a team that lost nearly all of their negotiating power.

    Yup. Then it's just a matter of whether he actually wants to come here.

    I don't see why not, we're probably the best team going after him.

    I would do that, but does it work to give Monroe a fat contract?

    (Don't want Monroe for the max)

    Guys, this is just a ploy by Monroe's agent to get more buzz on Monroe. I would say there is about a 5% chance that this is even an option.

    He would start for ORL, right? So while we'd be the best team he'd have a bigger role there.
    What's up with Millsap - would Monroe come off the bench there?

    A Monroe max is far more palatable than an LMA MAX. Not all max's are created equal.

    He would start here. Rolo would have to come off the bench.

    Yeah, you wouldn't pay a guy the max to be a bench player.

    So it is a safe presumption that Monroe is getting a max contract from some team?

    You think? I'd certainly take a look at that option, but I don't know that it's the best option.

    Yes. He's going to get maxed. Especially if he's still on the board after Melo, LBJ, and the other heavy hitters are signed. Some desperate team will max him (see Houston Rockets).

    They wanted to trade the pick. They were TRYING to trade the pick. You think Wiggins has more value than Aldridge?
