OT: Ellis/#6 Pick Available

[BrianFromWA]

Can't wait to start rooting for JJ Redick and/or Mike Miller. Cole Aldrich? Gordon Hayward?!?!

Are we really saying that Ellis and the #6 is not worth our expiring contracts? Even if Miller is one of them?

Yeah, I would rather not swap Miller for Monta. One likes to pass the ball and one doesn't (hint, his name rhymes with Monta).

Personally I would like to see Portland get a dude who can dish assists in traffic and feed the post. Monta may very well be capable of this but we have no evidence of it.

If Portland could get him for Joel's expiring contract and some combination of Rudy, Donte, Jeff, Patty or Webster I would be all for it.
I just can't see Golden State accepting that kind of package.

Adjusted for pace his turnovers aren't all that bad (espcially considering that he averaged almost 42 minutes a game) his turnover rate was only 13%.

Look, I don't think Ellis is a superstar by any stretch of the imagination and there would definitely be some risks, but I think he's a talent and he'd be one of the few guards in the league that I think would actually compliment Brandon pretty well (his shooting percentages from distance continue to improve every year, as well as his assist rate). Ellis alone doesn't really excite me, but I just think that inclusion of the sixth pick and only having to shed expiring contracts and maybe a youngster or two is just too much to pass up.
