Greg Monroe

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He may be too low post oriented for the system we want to run.
 
Gortat got 5 years 60 million. I think you can expect Monroe's market value will be 15 million a year now.

I would love this. Unrealistic as of now but I can dream.

Monroe
Bennett or T.T
LeBron
Wiggins
Kyrie.

My god not sure we could add Monroe with out some Major moves but I would like him more than Love because we have more scoring than we need. We would need a big banger and he would fit this team perfect.

The Cavs prior regime seemed to acquire pieces (in truth, arguably the best available pieces), but the pieces did not fit together. I think we'd be perpetuating that process with Monroe. Monroe's offensive stats are eye popping ---- but the offense Coach will likely run is constant movement, passing, and pop an open jumper. Monroe does not fit that mold in any respect, and, importantly, he is not a rim protector.

To use your lineup as a basis, the new system would be better with KI, Wig, Hayward, LBJ, Rim Protector. Actually, IMO Andy would be a very good 5 in the new system --- but, alas, the stay-healthy issues.

Any contra ideas/thoughts ?
 
With the cavs signing lebron the boat has sailed on Monroe. The cavs have one of the best paint scorers in nba history. Now for a defensive center.
 
Even if we wanted Greg we can't afford him now anyway.

The Cavs can easily afford Monroe. If the trade for Love doesn't go through, Monroe may be plan B.

Oh you just looked at a name and said if we can't get that big time superstar player in Kevin Love we can EASILY get that notch below Greg Monroe player who is not on the same level of Kevin Love..
 
Just throwing this out there as an idea (which I'll probably get crucified for):

Cavs Get:
Greg Monroe (S&T at ~13.5M)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Detroit Gets:
Anthony Bennett
Dion Waiters
John Lucas
Erik Murphy

We get Monroe who we can plug in at C, with TT starting at PF (and AV as a 6th man backing up both spots). We give up Waiters at SG, but get back Caldwell-Pope - who is not as talented as Waiters, but is a better fit to our system (better defender, and a solid pick-and-pop) guy. Detroit gets AB, who fits in pretty nicely as a stretch threat next to Drummond - they also save money this year on Monroe's salary, when they are rebuilding anyway.

Cavs then continue to build by signing Ray Allen to a vet min contract (to further back up SG), and either Okafor/Oden (to provide another big, and some fouls at Center). I think this leaves us a bit weak at PG, so we might have to make another minor trade to get a reasonable backup there.

Could be wrong, but I really don't see Detroit and Cleveland facilitating that type of deal together.

I just don't think Monroe is worth 13.5 million a year. He is not a Rim Protector, does not have a mid range shot. We would have 3 bigs in TT, Monroe, Andy who are not a threat from the outside. Bennett does not leave this team unless we get a stretch player back.
