Greg Monroe signs 10 day contract

Also crazy how thin the center talent in the G-League is. There just isnt anyone near NBA level available. Monroe might be the best available. I'd be calling Larry Sanders tbh.

You must be wrong. If there's one thing I've heard a dozen times on this forum, it's that center is the most easily replaceable position in the NBA. Don't let mere observations distract you from this dictum.

That's more in the off-season. Legit centers get lucrative contracts in Europe, which is what I was pointing out. They have no reason to be in the G-League, a league that pays like **** and isnt really good for big men style wise.

Backup center is the most easily replaceable position in the NBA... we got Whiteside on a minimum and he might be the best one we have had. Hartenstein, Drummond, Dedmon, Biyombo, etc. were all minimum guys or on the scrap heap... by time you get to 4th string center you likely had better uses of a roster spot or better options... like playing Gay or Hernangomez at the 5 instead of Monroe.

This probably means Forrest will make the playoff roster. I really hope Rudy and Whiteside can both stay healthy in the playoffs because we likely won't have a third center.

I'd rather play Gay at the 5... If Monroe was playing at the 5 you were likely cooked.

The sample sizes were small, of course, but we were better with Monroe at center than Gay (or, less bad).

I'm not sure which one would be worse...Gay at the 5 minutes have been bad this year. We'd likely be cooked either way.

James Johnson got cut.

He's tough at least. Probably a better backup 5 than Greg Monroe.

With Gay at least he can shoot and drive on another big. Monroe might be a little better at rebounding. But Gay is so much better than Greg at moving side to side and that is saying something.

He wouldn’t be playoff eligible though. That was a weird cut… wonder what happened.

Why?

Why?

You have to be cut before a certain date to be playoff eligible if you are on another nba roster. He was with the Nets all year. Otherwise I’d say hell yes.
