Free agent big man Greg Monroe told the New Orleans Advocate Saturday that the Celtics are among five teams that have expressed strong interest in his talents (the Knicks, Bucks, Lakers, and Trail Blazers the others). Monroe told the Advocate he expects to meet with each of those teams this week.
While Monroe ranks a bit below the cream of the big-man crop — a pack that’s highlighted by the likes of Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love and DeAndre Jordan — he’s still an impact player with lust-worthy offensive talents that could give Boston a needed boost at a spot of obvious need.
