GS's present backcourt consists of two SG's. Just like the backcourt of their failed 08/09 campaign. Plus, it goes without saying that Monta has been a complete disaster since signing that extension. Everything from the moped incident to his horrific play. GS even flirted with the idea of voiding out his contract. Per Monta's ESPN player page: "Status Alert: Despite the Warriors' selection of Stephen Curry, Monta Ellis will remain the team's starting point guard - at least for now, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yes he was. Amare has a player option for 2010/2011. Even if he opts out, they'd get nothing back. An Amare-Tmac trade lets them dump an additional contract since TMAC makes more than Amare, as well as get cheap young talent like Brooks/Landry. Also, Tmac is partially insured for next season so they'd be saving money next season too.
