The New York Knicks have made it no secret that they've got eyes for Detroit Pistons free agent-to-be Greg Monroe, with a report emerging recently that it's a "done deal" that the young big man will join the Knicks in free agency this summer.
As you might expect since he's still a contracted member of the Pistons, Monroe came out and refuted said claims on Sunday.
Via David Mayo of MLive.com and NBC's Pro Basketball Talk:
"You write it’s a done deal, there must be another Greg Monroe around here that I don’t know about, because I haven’t agreed to anything,” Monroe said before the Pistons’ home finale today against the Charlotte Hornets…."
“This stuff right here, it’s just unfortunate that we have to talk about it,” Monroe said. “I know we have to. But I talk to my agent every day, and I know for sure, I’m 100-percent, 1,000-percent confident, that he hasn’t done anything. If they (the Knicks) have interest, maybe they might have commented on that. But I haven’t even gotten to that place yet.”
While there's really nothing to glean from Monroe's statements until negotiations actually take place, his public refutation of the "done deal" report may stem the rumor mill tides for the time being.
