[Twisted_Dawg]

Not sure what to think of this, but don't think it will happen.

Doubt it will happen.

For who? I don't see it.

Hes the opposite of what we need. We need a stout rebounder and athletic shotblocker, who cover the PnR when necessary, and excels at SCREENING, and the Dive/roll on the PnR

Yes.
YES.
YES!

My feeling is that mobile centers would have high value i.e. ones that can switch on a guard and move their feet and keep the guard in front of them. Not a lot of David Robinsons out there, though. So my next move would be a mobile big that could play center a la Thompson from the Cavs. If we are trading, why not look for one of those. Monroe feels like Pau Gasol lite and we already gave our cap space to Gasol.

I can't believe lots of people are saying no to Monroe. Have you seen how decimated our front court has become after Diaw, West, and Boban all left?

[raybies]

Same news as in the off season thread. It's from amico.

Monroe is expensive, and not the answer. Ask yourself, what would we have to give up, and what would he give us in return?

Always good to see you post, friend.
And good point.

Thomas Robinson fills more of those needs than Greg Monroe tbh.

[Biggems]

At first i was yes, but then I realized I was confusing him with andre drummond.

and who realistically fits this mold the Spurs could sign for the min? Milwaukee has been trying to trade monroe for awhile

and much, much cheaper. been wanting the spurs to sign him all summer.

if there's truth to this trade, who are the spurs willing to give up?

Monroe can be had on the min? If so, you may have something, but you don't.
If the Spurs really want him, they'll have to give up a salary(ies) to get him.

Which weakens the team. Ball's in your court.

[GSH]

If a third party is involved, it means the Spurs will be giving up picks, in addition to whatever else. I'd like to see another big man come this way, but I'm not crazy about mortgaging the future for him.

I admit I wasn't one of the dozen or so people who followed the Bucks this last season. But it looks like they were ready to get rid of him months ago. Their explanation was that "he just doesn't fit in with our offensive and defensive schemes". Uhhh, yeah. Hard to judge locker room problems on a team like Milwaukee, just like it's harder to judge his stats on a crap team. I just don't see how they pull off that salary without giving up too much.

Would be nice but realistically its not going to happen....
