In a predictable move, considering he's still under contract with the Detroit Pistons, power forward/center Greg Monroe denied rumors that he is a "done deal" to sign with the New York Knicks in free agency this off-season.
Knicks Looking To Add Greg Monroe in Off-Season
Knicks team president Phil Jackson is apparently a big fan of Monroe, and sees him as a cornerstone with which to pair Carmelo Anthony in the team's triangle offense. Monroe, however, says news of his New York-bound exodus is unfounded.
“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 to MLive.com.
“This stuff right here, it’s just unfortunate that we have to talk about it,” he continued. “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.”

The Knicks are currently 16-64, the worst mark in the franchise's history. Greg Monroe is averaging a 16 and 10 for the Pistons this season, and is expected to receive a max contract on the open market this July.
