Stan had smaller teams in Orlando (Magic) years ago,” Monroe said. “Dre is like Dwight Howard. So Stan wants to put good players around him. The team has different plans, and I respect that. I don’t want to be anywhere I’m not wanted.”
It seems like Monroe feels a little burned by the Pistons–the same way the Pistons felt last offseason when he elected to sign a one-year qualifying offer instead of re-signing with the Pistons as a restricted free agent.
