Monta Ellis to Choose Team - Charlotte Among Them

Recommended Posts

Monta Ellis chose to pick up his early termination option on the last year of his deal making him a free agent this off season.

 

Although a history of injury, Monta Ellis has been a productive player when he plays and brings intensity on both the offense and defensive ends of the floor.  His option for next year was around 11mil and I think it would be difficult for him to beat that salary in the open market, however I think he is looking to lock up a long term deal instead of making bank and dealing with the frustrations of Milwaukee.

 

Picking up Ellis would probably mean that we choose to not re-sign Henderson as Ellis would become our starting 2 guard with MKG playing SF.  I know he isn't the A-lister we were hoping for, but I think he is a realistic option and could easily be a fan favorite for the new Hornets.

Seen it reported earlier. It would be a good pick up and a great backcourt. But, wouldn't it just be the same thing as a Golden State's Curry/Ellis or Bucks' Jennings/Ellis??

I'd either take McLemore if he's there, or hold the spot for a Wiggins/Parker (SF, but should be able to play SG in the NBA) if we're lucky next year. Ellis is good but he's not the answer to get us where we want. He's a two guard and very similar to Kemba. If we want to spend money, Hickson is the way to go.

I'll pass.  We have Kemba.  Ellis is good but would demand the ball a lot and take a lot of shots.  I would hold off until next offseason to start shopping unless someone just drops in our lap(CP3/Howard but thats very doubtful)

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
