Greg Monroe Trade Value?

[Pharaoh]

Monroe's value will fall certainly, because he'll have less shots and be playing a position that doesn't fit him well, further wiping the sheen off, while Klay's team will almost certainly be playing well, and even if Klay's numbers don't increase everyone will be like "sure, Klay's stats are down, but that's because he's got a smaller role on a winning team".

I believe you mentioned Barnes, not Klay.

Maybe Monroe did steal your bike?

I'd assume he just break it or something cause dude is huge.

I really do try and give everyone a fair shake -- I assume you aren't trolling unless you prove otherwise.

You've proven otherwise.

You just wrote that Monroe's value will "fall certainly" as he gets less shots and plays out of position, while everyone will understand if Klay's numbers do something similar. This is eerily similar to 'Kawhi will greatly improve, but Monroe is what he is', one of your other gems.

If we get your bike back for you, will you give it a rest?

There are plenty of reasons why Monroe will see a drop in his value, if you don't see them you are blind or a homer, they have been listed multiple times.

I see, if we don't agree with you two we're either "blind or a homer." If the clearly more talented Piston roster wins more games then Monroe's value will decrease? I could see that making sense if the team is a train wreck, but not if the team plays well. I guess your position is predicated on the belief that Monroe will be unable to play the PF effectively. It also presupposes that the new look Pistons won't have a better season. Most of us just don't want to rush to judgment.

He's a troll; you're just being dense. If you really want to try, read my post carefully, because what you've quoted doesn't at all mesh with your reply. I'm commenting on the logic of Durins' post, and how in each case similar evidence leads to a radically different conclusion.

I'm neither blind nor a homer, by the way. You certainly don't have to AGREE with me, just like I don't have to agree with him. Keep calm, play on.

Maybe, just maybe, I would trade Monroe for Klay&Barnes. Maybe, have to throw in Stuckeys expiring or Will Bynum to make it better. But, a quality big like Monroe is so much better than either Klay or Barnes individually that I almost wouldn't trade Monroe for both together.

Same twosome, back at it again. I'm starting to wonder if the one guy, is perhaps someone from a different team, or even perhaps a player, who doesnt like Monroe, or in the ultimate troll, its Monroe himself.

Logic has been dismantled. Replaced with the ravings of a seemingly odd perspective.

Monroe is bad. That is the underlying theme, and now it has turned into; Monroe is going to get worse.

It's a one two punch. One makes a statement, the other agrees, and attacks. It has now become amusing, because it's impossible to take them seriously now. Troll, or joke characters.

Do carry on, and amuse us. I find it fascinating.

I have determined that Greg Monroe stole your bike as well. He did have 105 steals this year...it appears both of these guys are victims of Moose's quick hands. Fear not though, for I predict the trade value of your respective bikes will go down and Greg is likely to return them eventually...

Monroe is going to feast on most PF's. They simply won't be big enough to match up with him. Also, teams won't be focusing all of their efforts on stopping Monroe now that we have multiple options. He is also still extremely young and an extremely hard worker who is only scratching his potential. Monroe should still be our number one option on offense this year. Anyone who thinks Monroe is going to get worse doesn't have a clue.

Isn't Monroe in a contract or available for a contract extension yaer? That to me means he wants to go all out to earn as much as he can get after his rookie contract.

I for one think that Monroe will have his best overall year. That may not be reflected completely in Stats, but he does have the work ethic to actually improve in that category also.

That's another great point. Monroe is going to be highly motivated with his new contract coming up.
