If Boston can/will use all of that DPE then more power to them and Monroe (for taking it). I'd love to have him for frontcourt depth.
I forgot the Celtics have all that money to spend, i thought he was going to sing with OKC to play the Kanter role but if Boston can pay him that much... Don't think we can get him, but not that i care much, he can definitely score in the paint but his defense sucks anyway, will get exposed in the playoff just like Kanter.
Center Greg Monroe has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns, clearing the way for him to become an unrestricted free agent, league sources told ESPN. The Boston Celtics will be one of several contending teams with an interest in signing Monroe, league sources said. Boston can use part of its $8.4 million disabled player exception to sign Monroe. Monroe, 27, was making $17.8 million in the final year of his contract. He has averaged 11.2 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes a game with the Suns. Phoenix agreed to the buyout after exhausting trade possibilities for Monroe, who arrived with the Suns as part of the Eric Bledsoe trade in November. Before the trade to Phoenix, Monroe averaged a career-low 6.8 points and five rebounds in limited minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks this season. For his career, which has included five seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Monroe has averaged 13.9 points and 8.7 rebounds. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22279981/phoenix-suns-agree-contract-buyout-center-greg-monroe
