Monroe's lingering contract situation won't affect his workload in 2014-15, the Oakland Press reports.

Analysis:

Neither Monroe nor coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy would divulge details of their offseason negotiations, but the big man will more or less hold a significant role in the frontcourt with Josh Smith and Andre Drummond. To start the season, Monroe will serve a two-game suspension for driving while visually impaired, which all but ensures Smith and Drummond compose the starting frontcourt on opening night. No matter, the trio are all expected to log 30-plus minutes per game this season, thereby aiding Monroe's quest to achieve 30 or more double-doubles for a fourth consecutive season.
