LA is staying in Portland. The only he reason he hasn't signed an extension is so he can get the 5 year max

But I agree, the 2015 class is way more interesting. Especially since Drummond will probably be locked up tight now that Monroe is gone

Would be unfair on McBob but I'd do it, however Monroe has to agree with any trade now that he has accepted that offer.


Can't see Monroe turning down the Heat for a 1 year rental. Has to be better than playing in Detroit for a team he obviously isn't seeing eye to eye with. McBob being a 4 year deal (rather than the 2 year deals we have everyone else on) is probably one of our worst contracts now, so unloading him even if its only for a 1 year rental of Monroe wouldn't be bad.


So is it official? Has Monroe accepted that qualifying or is it still a threat?

Miami makes sense for him, I think he's a much better fit next to Bosh than next to Drummond.

But it would be a very risky move for him. It would be a mid-year trade, so no training camp, he'd have to adjust quickly. If he fails to adjust quickly and underperforms, he could lose a lot of money next summer.

And he's not some physical freak or just a scorer who does pretty much the same thing regardless of who his teammates are. He needs to understand teammates, system, he's a good passer and a pretty good scorer, but he can also be a turnover machine.

If I was his agent, I would advise him to finish the year in Detroit, if he starts the season well. If he gets into Stan Van Gundy's doghouse or something, then it's different.

Unfortunately for us, the only way we realistically would've been a player, is if we completely tanked this season. And that was never going to happen.

I'd love a Dragic this summer. I think it's somewhat possible. Deng could opt out. Why wouldn't he, tbh? If he has a healthy season, it would make sense to opt out and either get a long contract, or at least get another 1+1 deal. If he opts out, then it's up to Wade, would he want to take another small paycut (but get an extra year probably).

I'd like to get Marc Gasol even more than Dragic, but that seems less realistic.

Dragic next year and Drummond in 2016! 8-)

Surprised there wasn't a thread on this, that was announced about a week ago, maybe two.
