When big-name free agents in the NBA are ready to be wined and dined, two destinations always seem to come up, regardless of team needs: the Lakers and the Knicks.
Each franchise has its perks, be it weather, arena, culture, history, or something less tangible.
So when a player entering his sixth year in the NBA, a player who has no All-Star selections to his name, gets offered max money from both teams and turns it down, we have to question his state of mind. Right?
Well, it turns out that Greg Monroe spurned the max deals with the two storied franchises in favor of the deal offered by the recently hapless Milwaukee Bucks for a very logical reason.
