    They will keep Dre and Monroe as long as they can

    What are u nuts? Spacing? Monroe will do nothing to improve it. Defense? Not bad but inferior to both Howard and Asik. Offense? Certainly not as capable as our young PF's. Expensive? You better believe it.

    I remember not too long ago when Jrue Holiday was considered the 76ers franchise player...plans change- who knows what's going on in the Pistons front office

    This has the look of talking about "What about Lamarcus Aldridge?" or "Antonio McDyess, Anyone?" as though they can be had, and itll be going on for 3-5 years.

    (Before Dwight with an added "Y big name No Com to HOUSTON?" gripe)

    The only way it can happen is because its Joe Dumars in charge whos been bad in moves recently. Other than that I dont even see dumars dealing monroe

    I doubt Joe Dumars is shopping Greg Monroe.

    It has been kind of the style of the Pistons to have a 3-man frontcourt rotation and it had been very effective for them,

    Ben - Memo - Corliss
    Ben - Rasheed - Memo
    Ben - Rasheed - McDyess

    etc.

    Dumars appears to be rebuilding some form of that with this generation.

    They'll trade Smith before they trade Monroe.

    That would be the all-lane-clogging team. Not a good fit next to Howard.

    Detroit trading their #1 player?!?!?!?!? Dumars would be the first to go before Monroe.

    People need to stop thinking like the NBA is a 2k video game, some of the threads here are embarassing.

    This would be a bad move, this smells of a Bad signing like Asik for a back up center role.
