I would cream my pants if we signed Ellis tbh. Any new word on who is looking at him/who is he leaning towards ?
The money will run out before the players...someone will be left holding the bag...I'm guessing the Spurs wind up with a nice player at the MLE.

moot
Can't afford him regardless.
He can hit an open shot but like Miami showed put some pressure on him and he is worthless. Green does not take it to the basket so he can easily be guarded on the perimeter.
Lol this is so stupid. He might not be a good fit here but he is 1000x better than Gary ing Neal.
"New Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer was a longtime assistant in San Antonio and he views Ellis as a point guard in the mold of Tony Parker, according to a source."

He bailed on Milwakee cuz aint NO ONE winning in Milwakee.
I'd bail from Milwakee.
STILL: Imagine TParks and Monta leading a fast break.... literally the two fastest players in the league? Adidas Crazyquick commercials be off da hook!
Coach Bud is not an idiot, some of the Hawks moves are questionable but there are some things that they will be doing right..
No, he is not. Atl also expressed interest in Jennings. Could there be a 3 team trade where Neal and a pick goes to the Bucks, Ellis goes to the Spurs, and Atl gets Jennings and some other Spurs players.
I was hoping for the Spurs with Ellis coming off the bench at PG and Manu at SG. You could have Belinelli at SF, Diaw PF, and Baynes or Whoever coming in as backup C. Ellis is a combo guard so he could play both PG and play a few minutes at SG with Parker. Parker took a beating this past playoffs. The Spurs need someone to run the point effectively other than him this season and in the playoffs as well.
Ellis creating off the bench would make sense but so far the Spurs moves are not anything for vast improvement, they're just bringing cogs in and filling gaps. Spurs will probably just run with what they have now, for years they ran small at the Center/Power Forward position and now that the league has elite wings with size we're going to play small ball there too.
Pretty absurd that you think Ellis will play backup to Tony Parker. And I suppose Ellis will be paid in cheerios. What exactly are you trippin on? Ellis won't stand for a backup role and he's out of the Spurs price range.
Jason Terry/JJ Barea combo killed back in 2011. Speed kills and if you have two of the quickest players in the league on your team, I can see a repeat of what Terry and Barea did together in the 2011 playoffs. I can see why Bud likes him, if you gave him the proper coaching and surround him with shooters (like his first couple of years in GS), he can be a highly efficient player. I doubt this trade happens, but it can be a likely scenario being that the first player the Spurs contacted was Ellis, Bucks expressed the most interest in Neal, and Atl contacting Bucks about Jennings and Ellis. Seems like all 3 have a connection.
I get that Milwaukee isn't going to keep either Ellis or Jennings but getting back Neal and a pick for two dynamic offensive players would be pretty bad even by S&T standards. I like the idea of Ellis on the Spurs but its just not neccicary. Joseph is a 3rd year player whose seen on consistent playing time in the playoffs. A long season of backup assignments should yield much better result than Ellis.
Also Manu and Ellis would be an very odd pairing. Both need the ball to be effective for the most part.
Bucks would get Teague from Atl to be their starting PG. They are going to lose Ellis or Jennings getting a pick, Neal and Teague would be a good trade for the Bucks. They get their backup SG and shooter they are desperately needing off the bench and a pick in next year's draft. Atl gets Jennings and a combination of either Bonner/Mills/De Colo/CoJo, which they are still missing alot of bench pieces. Spurs get Ellis.
Manu wouldn't be a bad pairing with Ellis. One thing I notice, especially in the playoffs, Manu didn't drive to the hoop at all at times and seemed content to defer the ball rather than be aggressive. Playing with Ellis would allow Manu to be a spot up shooter more and b/c of the openings Ellis creates with his drives and penetration, it would allow Manu more room to drive to the hoop with less abuse.
This trade would be great for all 3 teams IF it did happen.
Good, now FkLA can change his avatar, tbh.
No way we could get Ellis unless it was a Kirilenko/Nets type of deal.
Oh well
Monte going to Nets at veteran's minimum.
Mavs and Spurs trying to build all guards teams.
It's MontA people, he's not mountain.
how many of the league's elite teams have elite centers?
