| Greg Monroe looks good in Detroit's Red and Blue, but how much longer will he be wearing them? |
As negotiations have prolonged into mid-August without a resolution, it appears Greg Monroe plans to accept the qualifying offer extended by the Detroit Pistons of about $5.5 million, according to Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today.
There is some risk involved for Monroe. He is leaving money on the table this summer, as he could have signed an offer sheet from another team or reached an agreement with the Pistons. If he gets hurt this season or underwhelms, that guaranteed money is no longer in play.
This path represents the quickest way out of Detroit, and it’s clear why Monroe would pursue an exit strategy based on the current roster construction.
