We've made an offer to Monta?

Any universe in which Ellis is a good fit for us at $10M+ per season is a universe in which Tyreke Evans is a better fit for $11M per season. Redundancy with McLemore, not a pass-first point, doesn't guard anybody, not a mature lockerroom presence, thinks he's the second coming of DWade. I can't even begin to fathom what our front office sees in Ellis.
Well, we should forget about Tyreke because he has left and what has happened is done. Monta could provide a good second option, with Boogie being option one, and McLemore option three. Mbah a Moute could be the primary defender. And i don't see why some think it'd be a terrible defensive back court -- are you forgetting about McLemore's potential (and he's already a good defender).
That's the thing though, evidence suggests it's what Vivek thinks in this case, not PDA. It was Vivek who placed the call to Monta when he opted out. It was Vivek who's been recruiting him. Is Vivek the one who should be making that decision and do you feel comfortable with our owner deciding who's the better half court player? I'm not comfortable with that.
It would mean we have an owner making judgements on player talent/ability within a system we haven't yet seen and a GM not recognizing his owner is most likely wrong.
I actually agree with Jamal here, I don't think this is a PDA move. It's a Vivek move going by what we know and I don't like that at all. Any GM worth his salt would tell his owner this isn't an option worth pursuing.

Hey, if Monta is the price we need to pay to make Vivek happy, and to have our team in Sacramento, I think we can live with it.
Anyways, I think they are looking for a 3 guards rotation, with BMC, Vasquez and maybe Ellis. Thornton can't play PG, so I guess that's why they want Ellis. For 16 minutes a game he can be a Westbrook type PG, and he can play with both BMC and Vasquez.
Of course we need to trade MT, and also IT if we can. I like the pizza guy, but there won't be enough minutes for him if we get Monta. Then, he's an expiring next year, and I doubt they want to give him the money he will ask for.
I still think we should find another SF, dumping Salmons (amnesty) and possibly a defensive backup C. JT, MT, IT, Jimmer and Hayes are our trade chips. Maybe not enough for what we need, but we never know.
