[NBC Sports] Monta Ellis Most Likely to Opt Out

3rd star?

The lights-out shooter that we lack, and a secondary playmaker too.

We were willing to sign Dragic. How about Ellis? Bev goes back to back-up.

 

I was thinking with the Wes Matthews injury what if Portland picked Ellis up.

That team would be hard to guard.

 

back court would be too small and they would suffer on defense and 3 pt shooting

 

Assuming the Mavs dont resign Ellis, what team out there has both the cap space and the need for an undersize shooting guard to offer Ellis a big contract.

The two teams that popped into my head was, the Lakers and Knicks. Both are in need of quality players as well as playmaking guards. Both have sizeable cap space. Only question is, would Phil Jackson really spend 14+ million per on Monta and would the Lakers sign Ellis when they already have Kobe and Nick Young manning the sg position.

Any other obvious teams out there likely to give Monta a big contract?

 

The Knicks would probably offer him that. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Monta in a Knicks uniform next season.

 

What's the probability that Cuban let's them all walk while signing scrubs to 1 year contracts to keep cap for Durant in 2016 because he values chemistry over everything else?

 

I hate to say it, but Monta would be great here. He'd cost too much of course, but we really need someone that can create and score other than Harden. The problem is Monta needs the rock in his hands, and of course that's not gonna happen with the MVP handling the rock.

 

A combo guard backcourt of Ellis\harden would interesting, but I don't know if it would be good.

 

I'm sure it'll be better than Rondo and Monta. LOL. A lot of scoring there between the two. Not sure if any of the other guys are gonna get any shots though.

 

If montas scoring.as effkcient.than harden then why not. If not then he needs to pass or go sit. Look at dallas.

And IMO, along as the rockets offer.more than any other contender its possible ellis signs for the.chance.to win a rign
