The talk among scouts and executives who attended the Portsmouth Invitational is that Greg Monroe is Phil Jackson’s primary free-agent target.
It’s easy to connect the dots; Monroe’s agent, David Falk, is one of the few agents that Jackson has a relationship with going back more than 20 years when Falk was representing Michael Jordan.
Falk is looking for a max contract for Monroe and the Knicks, coming off the worst season in franchise history, are happy to oblige.
