Rockets after Greg Monroe?

why is this thread even becoming about jsmith? Monroe would be a good get, if the contract is short enough. I would be happy with him getting $10M a year because, so long as he doesn't get hurt or play below his abilities, he would still be a moveable piece. The only issue with the moveable piece strategy is that it's dependent upon Dwight staying healthy and as athletic as he is now, and I'm just not all that happy about betting on that proposition

 

It's not gonna be easy pulling that off, we have no one to trade for Smith really.

 

Greg Monroe sucks. Can't play defense and his advance metrics says he's getting worse every year. He is going to be overpaid, and he has no playoff experience.

 

Poor fit for our team considering the money he'll command. He's a starting center and we don't need a starting center. but maybe we can flip him in a 3-way and get someone else.

 

I'll take Monroe. He'd be a solid rotation player if we can get him around 9 mil.

 

He'll probably command $14,000,000 a year.

 

So is this true or nah

As mentioned, maybe we can get in a 3 way deal with atlanta for milsap/horford.

 

Would be excited to get milsap or horford ( if healthy)

 

Hit the nail on the head with that one.

 

Absolutely. Still have no clue why the pistons wanted him to play sf. Wouldn't want him or his contract, but he wouldn't be terrible at pf.

 

underwhelming

 

I want him

 

I wanted him earlier, but I changed my mind. He can't help us defensively. We don't have anything significant to offer Atlanta either.

 

I apologize if I seem insensitive, but with this PG injury I'd rather make a move for West

David West would be awesome! No to Greg Monroe.

 

What would you trade to get him? I don't think we can make the salaries work.

Also he has a player option which is Morey's Kryptonite.

 

Also before anyone suggests it, AGAIN, we can't reacquire Luis Scola until his current contract is up.

 

Well, I made the salaries work and DMo would be a nice asset for them to develop in a tank year. Also, I wouldn't put it past West to opt out after one year to sign a longer deal (either with us or someone else).
