Ely Is Getting Expansive in His Thinking <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Melvin Ely was so confident that he would be shipped out before the trading deadline in February, as he had requested, that the Clipper reserve packed up his apartment and was ready to move. Two months later, he's still a Clipper ? and still packed. "I just want to play, so if that means going to another team, that's what I want to do," he said Saturday. "Obviously, I'm not a fit here. God willing, I could be somewhere else next season, start everything brand new ? and just try to get onto the court by any means necessary." The 6-foot-10 forward-center from Fresno State would love to be taken by the Charlotte Bobcats in the expansion draft in June. The Clippers, who can protect as many as eight players, are expected to leave Ely unprotected. "I'd be on the first thing smokin'," he said of the possibility of joining the expansion team that begins play next season.</div>
Ely is overrated, hes not that good in the first place. The only thing i can say is opt out of contract if he can.
Melvin Ely isnt as good as he seem's he's gonna be shipped outta Charlotte also if he doesnt learn how to play as a back up. Unless this guy is a break out star next year i dont see him going anywhere.
