Thoughts?  Does he fit in with the Celtics?

“Suns center Greg Monroe not in the building tonight - buyout could be coming.”

Update:

Per Woj: Greg Monroe and the Suns have agreed on a buyout.

Hello DPE.


Nabbing Evans and Monroe for a late first round pick and maybe someone like Yabu would be amazing.

Nice icing on Danny’s Executive of the Year cake.

Can we claim him off waivers at this point using the DPE?

Giving him the full DPE should alleviate any playing time questions he may have.

Oh snap! He'd be a good one, and we're about as good of a fit for him off the bench as anyone, especially his rebounding.

Look for the #Celtics to have interest in Greg Monroe, a definite post presence, can score around the rim and showed in MIL and PHX he can come off the bench. Also, would love to join winning situation.

No, he has to clear waivers first.
