I thought Monroe may have made a huge mistake turning down 5 yrs, $60 million last summer but 3 yrs, $50 million with a player option blows that away. Good for him! The fit on the Bucks will be interesting. He had to leave Detroit because playing him with Drummond diminished both guys.

Man the Bucks are about to be a FORCE. Is Jabari gonna play the 4 now with Monroe at C though or what?
Their starting lineup of: MCW, Middleton, Giannis, Parker and Monroe full of good shooter. Except MCW all of them can shot very well its just not everything has to be from 3 point line.
decent team but Monroe isn't a full time C and definitely not a max player. might be a interesting team to watch though, something that couldn't be said about the bucks for a long time
If CP25 is a max player, Monroe is definitely a max player with the new cap kicking in next season. His contract will be equivalent to 10 million a year with the current cap.
I mean if you ask me "Is Monroe a max player" I would say no but I can't help but feel that given where the bucks are with their roster and how the cap is escalating, that they got decent value. Pretty much everyone who got contracts so far this summer got significantly more lucrative ones than they would have got 2 or 3 years ago so clearly we must be operating under the next CBA rules.
Wow didnt think of that slogan :grin: bravo!! Will pass on asap So happy and surreal we got a fa over the fcking knicks and la. Screw them big markets!!! Monroe will be full time c and it can work coz pf giannis and henson aflre both shotblockers. But if 2/3 mcw giannis jabari dont improve shooting it will be like giving birth again in offence. Happy
Projected Lineups? MCW/Vasquez/Ennis Middleton/Mayo Antetokounmpo/Vaughn Parker/Henson/Plumlee Monroe/Pachulia That's a pretty good team in the East. Obviously, the best aspect is all the young talent, but there are plenty of guys ready to play now. I'm just not convinced Monroe and Parker could fit at the 4/5 spots long term. I believe they might be better off asking one of Middleton/Antetokounmpo to play a 6th man role, but I also don't think either would appreciate that.
Mcw/vazquez/ ennis/bayless Midds/mayo/vaughn /bayless Parker/middleton/giannis Giannis/parker/henson/monroe? Monroe/hhenson/zaza Basically almost everyone can play 2 positions. Bayless and plumpley wont survive the month most likely. Neither will job lol ( the worst player in the nba). Need a cheap backup forward ajd set. Hope its kyle o quinn or kpap in case of a trade.
