Greg Monroe

NBA free agency is less than a month away, so, naturally, it’s time to see what Jalen Rose, former player-turned-ESPN-analyst, thinks is going to happen. While recording Grantland’s Jalen and Jacoby podcast (h/t Blazers Edge), Rose predicted that the New York Knicks will sign two of Tobias Harris, Paul Millsap and Greg Monroe. You can [...]

Greg Monroe and the Detroit Pistons may not be headed for a divorce. Of all the NBA’s impending free agents, Monroe has long been considered the consummate flight risk, and for good reason. Rather than sign a new contract in restricted free agency last summer, he inked his qualifying offer, ensuring he reached unrestricted free [...]

The New York Knicks are already zeroing on their free-agent consolation prizes. Big names like LaMarcus Aldridge, Marc Gasol, Goran Dragic, Kevin Love and Paul Millsap are tossed around haphazardly when it comes to the Knicks’ offseason plans. Each of those players would certainly expedite their rebuilding process, and each, subsequently, is a pipe dream. [...]

Greg Monroe is an evil genius. Minus the evil part. And maybe the genius part, too. People with nothing better to do—so, me—were up in arms when Monroe signed his qualifying offer in restricted free agency this past summer rather than ink an offer sheet with another team or long-term contract with the Detroit Pistons. [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

Fascinating. The Detroit Pistons have been fascinating since the end of last season. From hiring Stan Van Gundy as president and coach to the personnel they paid and overpaid to their inability to lock up Greg Monroe long term, everything about their summer has been, for better and worse, fascinating. Monroe’s situation is especially interesting. [...]

The Detroit Pistons will be missing the services of their 6-foot-11 center Greg Monroe for the first two games this coming regular season. He has been officially suspended for two games without pay by the NBA after pleading guilty to driving under the influence in Michigan, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo!Sports.

Greg Monroe has apparently been doing anything and everything he can to escape the Detroit Pistons. Accepting Detroit’s qualifying offer—like he’s supposed to do—reeks of doubt and distrust and potential disgust. Rather than secure his financial future, he’ll likely play through next season at a ridiculous discount so he can explore unrestricted free agency in [...]

Well this isn’t good. Eric Bledsoe and the Phoenix Suns’ dance around and toward each other continues. Or are they now dancing away from one another? Mini LeBron hasn’t spoken to the Suns for the last four months, according to owner Robert Sarver (via Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic): A Comcast SportsNet Northwest report [...]

Losing Paul George has apparently clouded the Indiana Pacers’ sense of logical and illogical. According Detroit Sports 105.1’s Matt Dery, the Pacers are still shopping Roy Hibbert and have their sights sets on the Detroit Pistons’ Greg Monroe: [tweet https://twitter.com/dery1051/statuses/498545446940585984] This is—one of my favorite, most frequently used words incoming—weird. Some people might even call [...]
