No, Greg Monroe Cannot Return to the Bucks
In November, the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Eric Bledsoe to Phoenix for Greg Monroe. On Wednesday night, Phoenix bought out Monroe’s contract, and he’s free to sign wherever he wants. Bucks fans might want a reunion considering many had love for Moose, and reports were that Jason Kidd and him were at odds. I hate to disappoint Bucks fans, but Monroe cannot come back to the Cream City thanks to the NBA rules about trades. It’s kind of a bummer, but we all need to make peace that he could affect the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Some of the suitors for Monroe will be Cleveland and Boston. The Celtics have always seemed to have an infatuation with the former first round pick, and he would be a perfect fit for that team. Boston does not really have a post player besides Al Horford who isn’t even a true post. Cleveland might sting a little more especially if he plays a role in a Cavs resurgence. I’m not sure the fit is a lock there with him having a similar skillset as Tristian Thompson, although, Monroe is a better player at this point.
Let’s hope we can cheer for Moose in Western Conference and not affect what the Bucks are doing in the NBA Playoffs.
AND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE
