There is a Vespa dealer on Barbur Blvd, I think, there is definitely one on Cornelius Pass and there used to be one across from the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne (might still be there), or did they move to NW 23rd? I think he will feel right at home, here in Portland, especially as he passes all the dweebs that use their pedals to power their two wheelers.
What are you talking about? Seriously, what do you know about him or most players that would lead you to make this insider type claim? I'm just a fan and though I live in the Bay Area and keep tabs on the W's, he's never struck me as an especially crazy guy... if anything he comes off as a pretty mellow guy. I sort of think it was admirable how he led the league in MPG last year while guarding guys a full size larger then him. He noted in preseason that him guarding SGs wasn't likely to equal winning hoops, but was pretty much a pro's pro after that. The W's have been a true mess so I don't begrudge guys for getting a little frustrated STOMP
11 million a year for 4 years. Over paid.... yes. But not THAT bad. He can definitely attack the rim at will.
First off try to remember who he plays for, there's no such thing as a bad shot unless it's taken late in the clock. Secondly, he'd probably be this team's second option or more likely he'd be the team's true sixth man -- a guy who plays 32 minutes a night backing up both the guard spots.
I think Ellis is pretty damn overrated by some, but getting him, along with the #6 pick, for expirings/lesser players would be a huge upgrade. Ed O.
BTW, there's a reason that 6 is available. Probably b/c Wall, Turner, Favors, Cousins, and Johnson will be gone, and GSW doesn't want to pin its hopes on the Aminus, Davises and Udohs of the world.
he also averaged 41.4 minutes per game with almost taking 25 shots a game. I do not see Ellis as a point guard, he is more of a shooting guard and we already have a much better 2 guard on our team then Ellis.
What is the sound of one Brand clapping? I kind of think Ellis is more useful to us than Brand. The #2 is more useful than the #6, obviously. So I call it a draw. barfo
True, but we have the pieces (Rudy, Bayless, later picks, $$) to move up from 6 to 3/4. I think Turner has superstar potential, so I like the latter deal. But Philly seems dead set on Turner, so that deal might not currently be available.
I don't think Ellis would be happy coming off the bench and not being able to jack up every shot he feels like. As for him being an upgrade defensively, I never liked his defense. He has fast hands and gets steals which is nice but I have never liked his overall defense. Although now that I think about him giving up just Miller/pryz for him and the 6th I can't really complain about even with me disliking him as much as I do.
I think it's ridiculous for random people to assume to know what a player would or would not like. 32+ minutes a game on a winning team seems pretty awesome to me.
Making $11m and not playing a minute all year seems pretty awesome to me, too. Do you think that Ellis thinks the same way you and I do? Ed O.
Ellis would be perfect fit next to Roy in the backcourt... If POR could obtain him AND the #6 without having to give up Roy, Oden, Batum or LA? Do it and don't look back.....
But if you get to 6, and Minny likes Johnson, you can assumeSacramento isn't taking him. So offer Rudy and 6 for 4.
