How good is Monta Ellis really?

[lazyj10]

Just to reiterate- I'd take Oden today, hurt, over Biedrins.

I guess you gotta find someone to blame. Not saying Andris is playing up to his contract, but he can't be worse than last year.

Udoh in his limted PT reminds me of Ronny Turiaf right now. But probably got a lot higher ceiling as he develops. Could have drafted Greg Monroe tho.

His offensive post game looks way more advanced than Turiaf's in the limited amount of time he's gotten. Andris has gotten worse every year, even he knows he hasn't been playing well.

Please! Earl would kill to have his mid-range game, to be able to put it on the floor like Monta, and to be able to finish like him.

Jr Smith? Really? It kills me, the outlandish stuff people say on here. I know I already commented on it, but jesus. Do you guys even watch basketball before you pull this %%+! out of your @%+?

People stating that his numbers are inflated due to the system the Warriors run MAY be right, but if you have actually watched more than the ESPN highlights and seen a few games (which clearly most of you havent), you would know Monte Ellis is one of the best players in the league. Dudes offensive skills are insane.

Don't complain about the product when you're busy watching the games, buying jerseys and putting team logos for your avatar. You think the refs are shady? What are you still doing watching the NBA then?

If someone has a complaint about the NBA, they shouldn't watch or support it at all? What kind of backwards logic is that?Without constructive criticism we wouldn't have a shot clock, three point line, 3 second violations, etc.

His defense is poor, but lets be honest, so is 80% of the leagues.

Monta is a really good player. You can downplay try to downplay his stats because of the system he plays in, but system or not, you dont average more points per game than Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki if you arent a top player.  I wish he was on a better team.

My sentiments exactly...

Dude who said a J.R. Smith that gets minutes...

Monta isn't as good a shooter as J.R. but hell of alot smarter.

Just throwin it out there, but with Lee solid at the 4, taking a flier on Oden is not a bad look.  He needs the change of scenery, and I know it's a risk, but if you can sign him to a low dollar, low risk deal, they should look into it at least. 

Put it this way, a healthy Oden "type" would work perfect for Lee, Curry and Monta.  Get a solid 3 in there, a Deng type, and I would think that team would be tough to beat.  Some inside, outside, rebounding, shot block, post play, mid range, pick and roll, 3 point shooting, rebounding, they would be legit in a perfect world.  Defense is all they would need to improve.  *shrugs* 

Dream scenario to get Oden and Deng. I wish.
