ugh Monroe would have been such a great pickup...
Got to get the young talent in place before free agents will have us at the top of their list.
We were reportedly on his short list of destinations. I'm not sure if we made a hard push for him or not. We seemed content resisting B-list stars in order to get A-list stars over the next few years.
Yes .....I think you nailed it with that last statement.......TP .......Danny wants to pick his battles using his assets . Monroe is good ....but he an't taking a team to a title......he is a second banana.
Yeah, but Monroe IS a "banana." Need to get one of those before other "bananas" will be interested in coming here. That's the point.
I don't buy that the Celts weren't interested. Reports were that they liked Monroe and were going to pursue him. I believe Jackie Mac said as much. But Monroe interviewed with other teams before considering the Celts.
