15.1 PER, he gone fishin already. Richard Jefferson 2.0 for 3 more years?
Bargain, tbh... most entertaining bench in the NBA...
Hope he has 2-3 more years after this contract is due...
No thanks
No. Monte is a volumn shooter.
Monta's averaging 23 ppg on 47%. Manu's at 10 ppg on 42%. I wouldn't throw the word "volume shooter" around so carelessly when Manu's shooting has been much, much worse.Quote:

Sad thing is Ginobili hasn't even had his annual 30 game injury yet so expect much worse from him as the season progresses.
Stupid thread is stupid per par. Monte is an overrated hero chucker.
So what he's shooting 47% from the field now? We're barely 1/10th through the season. SMH!
Well, it tells us how disappointing Manu has been so far when we're comparing him to terrible players like Monta Ellis.Quote:

People scoffing me for saying Monta Ellis is better than current Manu in the offseason :lol
the constant whining/bashing of Manu on this board by some of you dumb asses has gotten extremely boring
to be fair, didn't monta walk away from like a +10m contract? I thought he was going to get paid more than he did.
Eh, Manu hasn't done anything out of the ordinary. He's been standing pat
:lol Your're looking at 10 games as opposed to his career. Monta is the definition of a volume shooter. He's a ball dominant undersized 2-guard. Playing him and Parker together to end games would be a disaster. Ginobili's shooting won't be under 30% 3pt for the year. It will improve and he'll hit about a 3rd of them.Quote:

The Spurs knew that most player that they'd covet would be above the mid level or likely to go elsewhere. They payed Manu back for his loyalty and stayed safely under the luxury tax.Quote:

And that chart doesn't even include most of the games he missed last season.
Yeah, and he burned out come playoff time.Quote:

I guess if we had Monta we would be 9-1.... instead of 9-1...
lol Monta is playing as good as he possibly can and he barely has a PER of 18.5. Just wait 'till the law of averages strike. Besides, if Monta would have got here, he would have been a bench player, it's safe to say he wouldn't have performed as well as he is doing right now on a reserve role. That added to the fact that Manu is a legend on SA and I say that no, the Spurs shouldn't have signed Monta over Manu.
One has to admit that Manu hasn't had any real severe injuries over the course of his career, at least. Considering all the injuries he's sustained, we're damned lucky he hasn't done something severe like tear an ACL or something.
-You said he misses 30 games every year. He's missed 30 games twice.Quote:

-Parker has had his fair share of injuries as well. (Last season alone he missed a dozen games or was limited in games played ,with calf, back, sprained ankle, neck injuries etc.) calling out Manu for him have various injures over a long career is a bit unfair.
-Manu was under payed 6 years $54 million dollars (9 million a season) His average P.E.R in that stretch was 21. Parkers was 20 last season with a salary of $12.5 Million. We weren't going to use that money else where why not repay him for his loyalty and helping us maintain our success for the past decade.
