Bucks Shopping Greg Monroe
June 20th 2016 at 11:00pm CST by Luke Adams
Quote: | Less than a year after signing him as a free agent, the Bucks are shopping Greg Monroe “hard,” reports Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops and The Associated Press (via Twitter).
Monroe, who turned 26 earlier this month, was his usual effective self during his first season in Milwaukee, averaging 18.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per 36 minutes to along with a .522 FG%. However, while Monroe was a productive low-post scorer and rebounder for the Bucks, his defense was lacking and he didn’t provide much rim protection. |

Maybe Young and Randle for Monroe. |

I think that the Bucks would do that trade. |

Monroe is a give away player now. You don't trade anything of value for him at this point. He completely killed the Bucks defense last year. They went from being rated top 2-3 in defense the year before, to being one of the worst defenses just because they picked up Monroe. Watching him last year, it looked like he wasn't even interested in defense. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |

If we strike out in free agency (at least in terms of centers) and need a 2-year placeholder, then I'd consider a deal if we send out Nick and include either Lou or a lower-tier asset (Black/Brown/future 2nd). _________________ Luxury Tax/FA Spreadsheet (Save to your Google Drive to edit) |

I said it earlier in the off season.. but Lou Williams, Nick Young, and #32... is something I'd love to see the Lakers do for Greg Monroe.
Yes his defense stinks, but so do the two outgoing players. He can be a super sub bigman (He also could fill in as a stop gap starting center if the lakers whiff on others players). I'd love that deal. Almost cap neutral too, and the bucks are losing some of their backcourt as Free Agents. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers?

I would have taken him last year or so when he was a free agent. I don't know about now simply because Whiteside is a far better prospect and we could utilize his defense. Also Horford is a Free Agent so we wouldn't have to trade to try to acquire either of these guys!
My guess is that He'll get traded to another eastern conference team and will become a great role player. |

I don't know if the Lakers seriously wanted him last FA period but what a waste.
Glad the Lakers didn't open up their wallets for him.
I remember all the storylines last year about him spurning the Lakers for Milwaukee.
He was strictly about the money and that's fine, but karma is a (bleep) sometimes, basketball wise.
