thats probably his market value. It would depend on the pieces we already have in place. Since we already have at least one bigtime scorer I would prefer to give that money to DeAndre Jordan. Half the offense, but double the rebounding, shotblocking and defense.

I agree about the market value.

Marc Gasol and Monroe is essentially the same player. Marc clearly is more savy, physical and more experienced. Monroe can get you 14/9 with 3 assists a game and a block with Melo here. Monroe would be great in the high post and on the block in the triangle.

De Andre Jordan is a monster on the boards and on defense and we could win with him, but we need him to be able to receive the ball and make basketball plays whether that's passing, or putting the ball on the floor and scoring something other than a alley oop. That's why Tysons was traded.

I'm still looking at this season though cuz I have a problem. Wish we would have made this the 2014 plan not 2015.

Monroe has never averaged more than a block per game in his career (his career average is .6). Just curious why you think he'd average more than 1 block per game on the Knicks. The fact is Monroe is NOT a rim protector and his pretty bad on D and that's likely not going to change. He's a good rebounder and has good hands, that's where his value lies.

I say he'll average 1 block and you ignore everything else I say. Typical Message board bull****

Dude, relax. I didn't have time to respond to the other points. I simply wanted to know why you thought he'd block more shots as a Knick. Ya know, cause I was genuinely interested in why you thought that, that maybe I was missing something and would learn something new. Jeez. IMO it is "typical message board bull****" that you seem to he furious at me for DISCUSSING THE TOPIC! I didn't realize I had to do a response to the entirety of every post, everytime! Also, you don't even answer my question about why Monroe's blocks would increase! Whatever.

BTW, I'd rather have DeAndre Jordan. He fits better id rather have a rebounded shot blocker than Monroe. Sure he's sortve like Tyson but he's younger, and on a better contract and more moveable as an asset.

I only stick with the ones who have pretty reliable sources.

Every once in a whole some unknown will break a story but far too often in this social age most are looking for attention

J.R. on his best behavior will never get you Monroe and Monroe isn't anything special himself
