I don't know why they're waiting to move Monroe. I assume whatever team traded for him would keep his rights and he'd still be a RFA.

Denver seems like the perfect trade partner. They could bring Chandler back to Michigan and probably get Faried or Hickson along with him, which would flesh out their bench.
yeah breh i hope he stays with the team :sadcam:

Denver, breh. They need a post player and they have too many SFs. If Dumars is smart (:usure:), that's where Monroe is gonna get dealt.

Who wants Wilson Chandler? :childplease:


shyt, I'd even settle for a top 10 pick and grab Rodney Hood.

Breh, you aren't getting a lottery pick in the 2014 draft for Monroe. Chandler would be a great fit for this team. He's good offensively and defensively, plus he'd move Smith to the 4 where he belongs. They'd probably be able to get Faried or Hickson too, which would be a huge boost for the bench.

Monroe is better than anyone not in the top 4, any GM would trade for him if they knew they were not getting Wiggins/Emblid/Parker/Exumd

Chandler is a mediocre outside shooter, we'd still have issues offensively

But anyone they draft is going to be very cheap for the next four years and Monroe is gonna get close to max money. That's a major factor.

Chandler can hit threes when he's not being asked to create shots. He shot 41% last year because he had open looks and with Smith, Drummond and Jennings, he should get open looks on the Pistons.

And I'm asking you what site is it off? Because I'm thinking you don't even know where it came from.

Nikka I was the first one to reference in this thread. You know the one that made Your ass dissappear.

I'm going to leave this here also since there is a certain Poster who "follows Players but not teams" but doesn't quite understand the way that NBA players are ranked.

* Edit, I must have crushed this Nikka's soapbox, I'm not the only one that sees Dre leading Al Horford in every statistical category Am I? Oh! my bad, Horford has a higher usage rate. lol!

Come on bruh playing pf or c what's the big difference. Homeboy is on track for a Roy hibbert type contract ain't no slack being cut.

He's playing out of position now. Monroe is a center. He doesn't take enough midrange shots for me think he has improved. Right now Monroe is david west, Al jefferson, Millsap caliber player. Pistons need a Lamarcus aldridge, bosh, love, gasol type of pf for this team to work with Josh at sf. Monroe is good but not worthy of big deal that he will get when he's a FA.

:usure:
I would take west and milsap over Monroe. And a prime pre injury al Jefferson.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with yall brotha's on Moose (I will concede on a prime Al Jefferson though, and remember Joe tried to get him but the deal was vetoed by ownership), but I will say this if moving him is what's best for the team then I have no problems with it/will roll with it :yeshrug:. Personally I'm just a fan of dudes all around game.

You realise that what you posted (ESPN stats) and what I posted (Ball Reference) are two different things from totally different sites right?

if we dont get top 8 the pick goes to charlotte. we will probably suck and lose the pick

Not if we trade some of these nikkas for trash. Why wouldn't the Pacers trade Granger's expiring for some of our pieces?
