This is my thinking. We should have enough minutes for Monroe. Cutting LMA down to low-30s would allow him to exert more energy in the low-post, which would benefit both him and the team. Monroe could back up LMA and Lopez and get >25mpg. He might not want to come off the bench, but the choice isn't his. Plus, playing a solid role on a legit Playoff team might be more enticing than being a starter on a fringe Eastern team. The problem isn't whether he wants to play here, it's putting together a package good enough to get him.
