Monta Ellis to Choose Team - Charlotte Among Them

Recommended Posts

I heard all yesterday how it was a 4 team race, then the Kings were out, then the media was like no no the bobcats are out.. then the Hawks were leading the race.. then late last night the Kings started leading the race and now it's being reported that Ellis's final visit will be with the Bobcats. Is the media seriously this bad or is Ellis a drama queen?

Somehow could be anti-leverage on Henderson?  Not sure.

 

I'd be really surprised if we sign him.

 

I feel comfortable going into this season with what we have, minus some cheap guys to fill the rest of the roster obviously.

Where'd you hear that last report with us involved, fug?

LoL @ all the people on here who say "NO!" every time a potential Free Agent is mentioned for the Bobcats/Hornets.  Fact is, Ellis is better than Henderson.  He doesn't rebound as well or play D as well, but he is an elite scorer.  Kemba, Monta, MKG, Zeller, Jefferson would be a mid-seed playoff team in the East.

 

Don't we want to make the playoffs again?  We have accumulated good, young talent over the past several seasons and have sucked every year.  Time to put these guys with some veterans and let them start WINNING.  Nothing helps development like winning.

If we can get Ellis AND keep Henderson, I think Henderson could be an EXCELLENT 6th man, a guy who can not only backup the SG position but the SF position as well.  Sixth man role is pretty important in the league right now so it's not like it would be demeaning to Hendo.  J.R. Smith still racked up points in that role last year and the fact Henderson can backup two positions makes him valuable.

 

Not saying it happens or if I even want it to happen, but a team of:

 

Kemba

Ellis

MKG

Biz (or Zeller)

Jefferson

 

starting, and then Henderson, Zeller, McRoberts, Haywood, Sessions, Gordon, Taylor as backups...... sounds kind of exciting.

Well, apparently he's got more than just Atlanta and Dallas to choose from, as David Aldridge reported last, because if that was the case, he would have already come to an agreement with Atlanta...  According to Dallas News, the Mavericks are no longer a consideration:

Monta is an elite scorer?  I would classify his offensive game as slightly better than Henderson; Monta averages 4 points more than Hendo while taking 5 more shots and getting to the line at the same rate.

He could be waiting to see what Jennings does, I don't think Monta wants to play with Jennings anymore. If Monta signs with Atlanta then Jennings signs with Atlanta he is stuck there. If he waits to see what Jennings does first then he can choose to take a paycut somewhere else (if Jennings goes to Atl) or suck it up and play with BJ.

Henderson is not a sixth man who tends to be slanted to a scorer shooter like Ellis.

He is a short shooting guard who has to shoot 24 shots to score 18-20 points. Ellis ideally would be a sixth man.

 

Yeah agreed. Henderson's game is like a marathon not a sprint. He needs 35-38 minutes to show you everything he can do whereas Monta can give you the full package whether he's playing 40 minutes or 28 minutes. He's the perfect 6th man but there are probably few teams in this league that he would accept coming off the bench for.

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
