All joking aside, not a bad signing.

Not defending him or his game. Just saying the move or gamble makes sense on Cubes part. I said he was overpaid I also said he shoots too much, Kobe does too. But how does that mean it's not a good risk/reward gamble for dem Mavs?kobefan defending Monta Ellis.
Exactly. Mavs fans besides Rogue and ocassionally Philip can be pricks (Laker fans too) but doesnt change the fact it was a solid move all things considered. They had an aging VC as their #2 option on offense now he can be the third option and RC gets a chance to "coach him up". If he resists Rc's coaching then a bad gamble.
Monta's shot chart from last season.
It would be a good risk/reward sign if he wasn't paid 10 mil per year.
But I think Carlisle gets him to harness some of his talent. I liive in DFW and RC reminds me of Pop with less sarcasm. A great coach. We will see ewhat he does with Monta. They still the third best team in Texas, but maybe they are better than my Lakers.
He'll be better than OJ Mayo at least. The guy can flat out score, if he allows himself to be coached there's no reason he can't be solid for them, albeit a bit overpaid.
To me this is the offensive version of teh Josh Smith to Detroit signing. Neither guy is worth they are getting paid, but both have talent and flaws. Cubes paid him a bit more than I would want but he needed to get Dirk some help on both offense and defense. Calderon and monta help with the "o". They still lck teh defense but I am sure Cubes is not done. He seems liek a cool owner who tries to out smart everyone and yacks too much, but you cant say he doesnt try to improve the Mavs. He ed up not letting his team defend the le. But he has consistently put a good team in dallas most years of his ownership.
This roster is awful. Just look at their team.
Yuck - would much rather have undertaken "Riggin' for Wiggins"
Right now:
PF Dirk
SF Marion
SG Ellis
PG Calderon
6th man: VC
Sure doesnt look like a le contender but if healthy they will be in teh hunt for the 8th seed. They were in the hunt last year with Dirk hurt part of the season. Again they are the worst team in Texas, but Sours and Rox are a great and good team.
I feel teh same about my team, but Cubes and Mitch dont have that "quit" in them.
Cubes and Donnie using that destination appeal and snaggin up Monta Ellis from heavy compe ion for just 3 years and 30 million dollars.
Oden or Dalembert deal up next ...
Dalembert/Nowitzki/Marion/Ellis/Calderon.
Even with Dirk, Jose, and Shawn that's a dumb team tbh
All Cuban is doing is delaying the inevitable rebuilding process.
Kinda feeling meh about that...the lottery next year is filled with a lot of talent even beyond Andrew Wiggins. Doesn't make sense to spend all this money just so they can lock down a sixth seed and a first-round exit.
Disagree. You're trying too hard to be unbiased here. Even without D12, the Lakers will be better than the Mavs. With the exception of 2011* - Lakers always have been and always will be better than the Mavs.
* One and done.
I feel ya. I hate to admit it and Laker fans will kill me for it, but I hope Kobe suffers a (minor) set-backin rehab. What good is a playoff first round ouster? Id rather get a good asset (we have no pick in 2015) with our ONE first round draft pick o fteh past what, 3 seasons?! I doubt we get wiggins anyway ...but a good prospect is invaluable especially if you plan to sign big $ palyers elsewhere.
Depends on Kobe. Dirk is better than Pau and Nash is not significantly better than Calderon at this stage. Maybe he is still better but not by the mountain he was three years ago. No MWP and I would argue Marion is better than anything we have at SF/PF outside of Pau. Bottom line is no one knows what Kobe will be next year. Montae is better than Nick Young or Meeks. Vince too.
being "in the hunt for the 8th seed" is probably the worst position a team can be in, unless its a young and up and coming team. this just means they aren't contenders and aren't allowing themselves to make rapid improvements via the draft.
"we are goin to be soooooooo dominant now"
And this is the cream of the crop. Can ya imagine it?

yep, he should pretty much never shoot a jumper again..so natch he makes it rain jumpersMonta's shot chart from last season.
