Warriors to trade Monta Ellis?

[Tailback U]

I love Ellis but I feel like every trade rumor I hear involving him heavily favors the other team.

Deng is decent but the Warriors better get a lot more than just him for Ellis.

I also don't know why the Bulls would want Ellis and Rose. They are similar players.

 

[godspeed]

Ellis rumors been floating around for the last year or so. If they do want to move him now, it's dumb for West to run his mouth, and let people know he is expandable, teams will offer less.

I was really pumped to finally get Cohan out of here. Lacob and Guber talked a big game and haven't done jack even keeping Larry Riley around for some unknown reason.

I would really like the new ownership to get a coach sometime in the near future that would probably be a good idea.

Grizzlies should keep Gay + Mayo.

 

[MRN]

I'd cry if the Bulls traded Luol for Monta. No thank you. Deng is the glue of our team.

It probably makes more sense for the Grizz to trade Mayo and pieces for Ellis than for the Bulls.

Grizz suffered down the stretch with no one to create on their own with Gay out...those two you'd have two guys and with Z-bo/Gasol, I think that fits better.

With Rose/Ellis...while it looks nice having two quick guards, both dominate the ball so it makes less sense to me.

Agreed. Mayo is almost more of a detriment to the Grizzlies than he is help at times, take him away and put in Ellis and they become incredibly dangerous IMO.

 

[Realist]

he would be nice in orlando. We need a second scorer. Not sure how that would happen though

 

[Tailback U]

Ellis and picks for Howard please!

 

[Juggernaut]

Always thought he'd be a great fit next to D12.

 

[Realist]

Ellis and picks for Howard please!

Hell no.

Funny thing is Mayo was close to being moved to the Pacers, if they didn't get that deal done quicker he's in Indiana now. And he was in essence losing his PT until late when his shooting and overall offensive game was needed without Gay.

 

[Berowsk]

I don't want to move Ellis. Him and Curry are an amazing backcourt, all we need is a center who knows how to score, because Biedrins isn't cutting it.

You need some height somewhere.

*cough* take Andre Igoudala *cough*

 

[Hasselbeck]

The Pacers should go out and grab him. They won't, but they should.

Are you fucking retarded? I mean, I know you are a younger guy and all so you don't ACTUALLY understand basketball... and Deng is great on defense, but for an already all around defensive team you would rather have Deng than Ellis? Do you have any fucking clue who Ellis is? Deng will keep you RIGHT where you are right now, Ellis will bring a legitimate dangerous option at the 2 guard position and he can score 30 any given night, for a team and coach that preaches defense it would be a MAJOR plus to add another offensive minded player and let Ellis and Rose carry the scoring load while everybody else locks down on D. You wanna play with the Heat than be happy to get Ellis, if you just wanna be a 1-3 seed who gets bounced off then keep Deng.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Monta for Bargnani and fillers... Bargs would fit in great in that system :smug:

Dude calm down.

The kid did nothing to assert such strong emotions from you. No wonder why he never really comes around anymore. :ionno:

lol whoa, I think he does have a good point. Seeing as the Bulls already are thin at the 2/3 spots, losing their best perimeter defender would hurt them a lot though...and Deng does a lot for that Bulls squad.

and I can see what you mean, as right now the Bulls don't really have a #2 scoring option with Deng/Booz I feel are more of #3 options. Adding Ellis, you have a legit top scoring option alongside Rose and someone who can create his shot just as good as Rose can and create for others. Though then, you'll be putting Rose on the opposing team's shooting guards...could be a lot to ask.

Skip Bayless ain't got shit on you.

Yeah. I hate overrating Deng bu tlosing Deng to pick up Ellis isn't that large of a gain dependent on who the Bulls find to play the 3. Where the Bulls have depth enough to trade is in the front court and we have Charlotte's lottery pick next season.

Trading Ellis for Deng might end up being a slight upgrade for the team but I'm not sure it really accomplishes the goal if we have to deal with a "Bogans-esque" replacement at the 3.

It's not a no brainer trade by any stretch.

I'd be more willing to give up a guy like Noah and then start swining trades for grindy down low guys like Reggie Evans than trade Deng for Ellis. We are too thin up to to do that IMO.

IDGAF who comes here, if people can't take a lil shit being flung their way then by all means they can stay at their favorite site, and I was calm, just talking shit.
