    There may not be a typical point guard in this guard duo but watching him score and make plays makes me think about what if we had a Monta Ellis - James Harden tandem?

    That would be elite! Both are efficient high scorers and both are great playmakers.

    Monta is an underrated passer and an excellent rebounder for his position.

    It would be the greatest 1-2 guard punch ever! Absolutely unstoppable!

    I love Lin but I can't deny the greatness of Monta Ellis.

    Next year is a player's option and I'm expecting him to opt out.

    I believe we have a chance of getting him as he's looking to join a contender.

    Let Jeremy Lin be the third guard in this 3 guard rotation.

    Think Isiah Thomas - Joe Dumars - Vinnie Johnson 3-guard rotation

    One excellent playmaker/point guard with slashing and shooting skills
    TWO ELITE SCORERS with excellent playmaking skills

    Get er done Murray!

    Ellis is the opposite of an efficient scorer.

    Obtaining Ellis would be horrendous. Definitely not a Morey move. Book it.

    Ellis plays like he did last night about 3 times a season. pass.

    EDIT:
    I meant regarding winning games. Not efficiency.
    He was 9-24 yesterday. He does that a lot

    Does this thread get made if Ellis doesn't hit that game winner?

    Nooooo.

    Definitely Curry. Best shooter in the league right now. Can play great off the ball.

    OP failed.

    If we can, we should get tony parker. 21 points on 15 fga. 54% fg. Thats effi. Also 8 apg and good D. Oh and i forgot he plays to his strenghts and is a veteran leader, with championship exp and finals mvp. Im dreaming... But if we could get him... We would be really goood.

    47.3 TS%, which is the 3rd worst among players to average starter minutes (worst if you consider that he's played 18 more games than the top 2). Yeah, no thanks.

    No, we just made him look good from the s****y defense we played last night. He is good, but not great.
