Shows the market value (or lack of it) for double-double centers with real offensive skills. This hurts Kanter's value on the FA market, as the league has definitely moved away from the big dominant centers.
This seems to be an era where there's more value in a Marcus Camby (mobile, fleet footed center who could defend multiple positions and run the break) vs guys who could do damage in the post.
I was reading an article about how guys like Roy Hibbert fell off the map in his prime in spite of no notable nagging injuries. Al Jefferson had nagging injuries, but his lack of mobility finally did him in, as his lumbering up and down the court didn't fit. Here we go with Monroe, a big with strong passing skills but doesn't move great.
This also probably bodes well for the Knicks keeping Kanter long term (if we want him) as we'll like be able to bring him back for $15-18 per year... or less?!
