Greg Monroe buyout or trade - clock ticking for Celtics

It is hard to believe the Sun's Greg Monroe is only 27 years old. It seems like he has been around forever. He is on an expiring deal with Phoenix worth $17,884,176, and they desperately want to trade him. The trade deadline is approaching (February 8), and so far there have been no takers. If a trade does not happen, a buyout seems inevitable.

Monroe has been potentially linked to the Boston Celtics for some time. He is an old-time NBA center, which might not seem to fit Boston's style, but Greg unquestionably has talent that is not being utilized.
