  AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Yeezy Boost 700 For Sale Online . - Greg Monroe had a clear message for Detroit Pistons fans Monday.This doesnt mean Im leaving, Monroe said at the teams media day.What he didnt say, though, was that he was staying.This summer, Monroe did something almost unheard of for a frontline NBA player a€” he signed a one-year qualifying deal that costs him almost $10 million for this season but makes him an unrestricted free agent next summer.The obvious implication is that he wants a chance to find a better home after spending his first four seasons with one of the leagues more dysfunctional franchises.The Pistons offered me a long-term deal, but after talking it over with the people that are most important a€” my agent, some friends and my family, I decided to turn it down, he said.It isnt that I want to get out of the city of Detroit or this area a€” I have loved it here since I arrived a€” it is strictly a business decision based on my future as a basketball player.The news wasnt a welcome start to Stan Van Gundys career as Detroits president and coach, because he had talked about building the franchise around his two young post players a€” Monroe (24) and Andre Drummond (21).At worst, if Monroe seemed determined to leave, he said he hoped to get significant talent back in a sign-and-trade deal.Now, though, Van Gundy goes into the off-season knowing that theres a very good chance that hell get no return for a player who has averaged a double-double in each of the past three seasons.I know that I have to separate my two roles, and keep the business side of the game off the court, he said.Right now, I know that Greg is 100 per cent committed to helping this team win this season, and I have no concerns that hes going to let the business side of things affect his game. Well deal with next summer when we get there.Drummond acknowledged that he tried to talk Monroe into a long-term deal, but that hes not going to be working as a recruiter during the season.Greg did what he felt was best for himself, and as his friend, Im going to support him 100 per cent, Drummond said. From today forward, were both going to focus on winning basketball games. Thats it.The biggest question mark over Monroe in the short term is his role on the team.Last years experiment of playing he, Drummond and Josh Smith together didnt work, and Van Gundy doesnt plan to repeat it.Greg, Andre and Josh are three of our best players, but it is equally true that when they werent able to effective play together last year, he said.We intend to use Josh mainly at the 4 and Andre is, of course, going to be at the 5, while Greg can play both. Im not worried about which two will start, because I know the important thing is that you develop a rotation that works for 48 minutes, but I also know that starting is important to players.On top of that, there were reports in the off-season that Monroe had demanded that Smith be traded if the Pistons wanted him to sign a long-term contract. Monroe, though, didnt even allow the question to be fully asked before responding.Lies, lies, lies, he said. I dont know where that came from, but dont say there were rumours, because they were strictly lies. Ive told Coach Van Gundy that, and I reached out to Josh to make sure he realized that there was no truth to those stories. I never said anything like that.Monroes versatility will be more important now that the Pistons have lost backup centre Aaron Gray for the awhile. Gray will miss training camp and be out indefinitely after suffering a cardiac episode last month.Grey had the problem, which he didnt discuss in detail, after a voluntary practice session at the Palace, and is still undergoing testing to find out exactly what needs to be done.When you are a pro athlete, your body is how you make your living, so you know when something is wrong, he said Monday. So I knew that this was something that needed to be dealt with, and the Pistons did a great job putting me in touch with the right people to do that.Grey is getting multiple opinions, so there is no timeline on his return.We hope that by the end of October, were going to have a better idea where Aaron is and when he might be back on the floor, Van Gundy said. At this point, were just focused on making sure hes getting the best possible care.Grey was signed during the summer to back up Drummond and Monroe at centre, so Van Gundy has signed Hasheem Thabeet to a non-guaranteed contract to provide depth at the position. Adidas Powerphase Uk . Having won the first leg 1-0 in Barcelona, Madrid entered the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium already in control and quickly sealed its place in the semifinals when Jese Rodriguez scored in the seventh minute. Adidas Yeezy Powerphase Calabasas Uk . Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin broke the news that hes cleared for full activity moving forward.(SportsNetwork.com) - Martin Brodeur is expected to make his home debut for the St. Louis Blues on Monday night as they take on the Florida Panthers. They may want to start up a collection at the door in case Brodeur picks up another victory. Recently signed following an injury to Brian Elliott, the 42-year-old lost his first start with the Blues on Thursday, giving up four goals on 24 shots faced. He then relieved Jake Allen on Saturday in a matchup with the New York Islanders and stopped 14-of-15 shots faced as St. Louis rallied for a 6-4 win. It marked the 689th win of Brodeurs career and the first he has recorded with a team other than the New Jersey Devils. Brodeurs one-year contract with the Blues is worth only $700,000, but the deal does have a clause in which he gets an extra $10,000 for each point in the standings St. Louis records with him in net. That could end up getting costly if Allen struggles, not that St. Louis would mind paying it. I got a call from (Blues general manager Doug Armstrong). Were broke. Were down $20 grand. He was wondering if I couldve pulled him sometime in the third, joked Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock after the win over the Islanders. Allen gave up three goals on 12 shots in the first period, but the Blues rallied for three goals in the third frame to snap a two-game slide and split a four-game road trip. T.J. Oshie started the scoring in the third period, Paul Stastny followed with his second goal of the game and Vladimir Tarasenko potted his 17th marker of the campaign. Adidas Alexander Wang Uk. Kevin Shattenkirk added a goal and two assists, while Joakim Lindstrom notched three helpers. St. Louis played without forward Alex Steen due to a lower-body injury and lost defenseman Carl Gunnarsson to an upper-body injury following a high hit from New Yorks Anders Lee. The Blues have won four in a row over the Panthers and Brodeur is 40-16-2 against them in his career with a 2.06 goals against average, .914 save percentage and six shutouts. The Panthers open up a three-game road trip following a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. Roberto Luongo made 26 saves and Nick Bjugstad had the game-winning goal to improve Florida to 4-1-1 in its last six games. We needed this one. It was the last game before a big road trip, said Luongo. You always want to end on a good night. I thought the boys played well tonight, especially in the third period. Brad Boyes and Tomas Kopecky also scored, with Kopecky snapping a 36-game drought without a goal. Im so happy its over, said Kopecky. Ive just got to play my game. Sometimes its frustrating when things arent going your way and youre not getting the bounces, but youve got to be patient and stick with it. Defenseman Aaron Ekblad added three assists for his first career three-point game. He is third among rookies with 17 points. Luongo is 15-11-1 with a 2.32 GAA, .917 save percentage and three shutouts in 28 career games versus the Blues, all but one of those starts. ' ' '
