Let's slow down here. You are offering 3 1sts for a guy who can neither shoot not defend and just lost his starting job to a plumlee.
Also he was on the Pistons last year and they sucked while the bucks were one of the brighter up and coming young teams in the league. He switched teams and roles reversed.
He was a beast tonight. I'm sure many fans felt like they should trade for Jeff Green after they got hit with a dose of aggressive-Jeff.
You say three firsts, I say a mid first, a late first, and a couple second rounders in what does not appear to be a deep draft. Maybe we could get him for less than that, I don't know. We don't really have roster space for all those picks anyway unless a major trade happens.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure of his defense. I know he has played for some dysfunctional teams. Playing on a team that plays good team defense might make him look better and his size/height would help as we struggle against taller post scorers...like him for example last night.
Offensively, he's a big improvement over Sully. He's shooting 52% from the field while Sully is shooting 42%. Sully takes more jumpers, but he doesn't shoot them well. Monroe has been a consistent scorer for years, which is something Sully is not and is something we need.
Monroe is not a star, but he's a solid player. Sully is about to be a restricted free agent and that is something I want no part of. I'm worried that he will balloon up to 300+ pounds if he gets a long term contract. If he leaves, we will need another rebounding big to replace him and there won't be many good options in free agency, so why not get a reliable guy like Monroe now.
