Rewind back to February 3rd 2018, Greg Monroe signed as a free agent to the Boston Celtics with a 1-year, $5 million deal. The acquisition took a chunk out of the DPE (Disabled Player Exception) granted by the league in compensation for Gordon Hayward’s season ending injury, a total sum of $8.4 million dollars. With a large contingent of rookies up and down the roster, Danny Ainge was looking to add veteran experience to the mix. The former Georgetown Hoya’s resume was stacked with previous stints in Detroit, Milwaukee and Phoenix. Monroe has always been the kind of guy to efficiently manufacture his own shot, we witnessed this first hand on many occasions as he routinely worked over Tyler Zeller and Kelly Olynyk.
