12M, probably more.
Who here doesn't think Monroe is better than Favors?

I don't. He's a sieve on defense and my team has no place for a guy like that unless it's at the right price. Or have we learned nothing from Boozer, Okur and Kanter?
Since you'll have to pry him away from Detroit, I'd say $54/4. Without considering RFA status, he's probably worth what Favors would be making.
I wouldn't be upset with a Hayward/Monroe S/T swap (obviously, if that means you're getting a significantly better deal and more certainty).

Pry him away? They don't want him.

Quit stealing my ideas and making new threads.
That really good offensive players are really important to winning as well?
One of the first thing the Pistons and SVG stressed after his hire was the desire to keep Monroe. It could be a move to kill his value in the market, but it could also make a suitor up their offer.

Yep. So let's rationalize paying 13M to a slightly above average offensive big who plays no defense.
I'm not an expert on Greg Monroe. Are you?

No, but I know he stinks defensively and is soft and I can see a forest through the trees enough to realize virtually no team is going to win a ring with a sieve like that on the frontline.
I'm not sure why we're getting so defensive (no pun intended) about Greg Monroe.
He's a great passer and I recognize how important that is but beyond that he's highly underwhelming. To pay 13M for that seems dumb to me.
I'd give Monroe 11 million. Not good defensively, nothing special offensively, a great passer though and has good size.
A quick perusal of a Pistons board and nobody is dogging on Monroe. Considering that they watch the games and follow their guys better than I do, I'd say it's safe to say that the Pistons aren't aching to part with Greg Monroe for nothing, and might even match a max offer.

Even 11M for a big who is basically meh other than as a passer? That's not 13M but 11M even? I just don't get it.

Well, that's settled then.
After assessing the merits of your sarcastic post, I'm sure the Pistons will just let Greg Monroe walk because that's good asset management.
Bigs get paid. Bottom line. Monroe is skilled, young, and big.
Didn't Splitter get like 9 million this year?
