Pistons' Monroe potential 2015 target for Celtics

Greg Monroe signing a qualifying offer with the Pistons creates realistic hope that next summer, Boston will at the very least be on his short list of teams to consider considering their need and the fact they will have significant salary cap space.

The appeal for both the player (Monroe) and the franchise is undeniable.

Watching him try to mesh with Andre Drummond and Josh Smith last season in Detroit, it was clear that a change of scenery would do Monroe a world of good.
