We've made an offer to Monta?

I have been as critical of IT as anyone for not being the PG many seem to think he is, but would still rather have him running the point over Ellis. Don't get me wrong, there is no doubt that Ellis is a far superior player to IT, but he is a SG. Much like AI, he gets most of his assists when he has no choice but to pass the ball. And of course there are open players because he was being guarded by 3 or more players.
Monta Ellis, PG:
FGA/48min 2012-13
M Ellis 22.4 (8th in NBA)
R Gay 22.4
JR Smith 22.4
Crawford 21.9
Cousins 21.7
Harden 21.5
Thornton 21.5
He did that while shooting .416.
in 2011-12 it was 23.5 FGA/48. On .433 shooting. 10th in league.
in 2010-11 it was 24.0 FGA/48 on .451. 7th in league.
in 2009-10 it was 25.5 FGA/48 on .449. 4th in league. This BTW was the year when everybody here whined about Tyreke shooting too much as a rookie. Tyreke took 20.9 FGA/48 that year, on .458.
Cousins is gonna flat out kill this guy. And I'll support him when he lays him out. Sometimes things just need to be done. More realistically if you ever worried about Cousins going through the season disgusted and pouting because of his asinine teammates, this is the guy to come down and chuck up random 1 on 3 jumpers to do it.

Chris B. From ESPN Says THornton
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9463611/monta-ellis-pares-list-four-suitors
Broussard reported recently that Ellis has cut down his list of potential destinations to the Kings, Mavericks, Hawks and Bobcats. Each club would need to make moves to create the space to sign him; Sacramento, according to Broussard, is looking to move guard Marcus Thornton to create the space. Thornton would have to be traded with little to no salary coming back.

Well, this may take Dallas out of the running for Monta......lucky US !!! Ol' Monta is quickly (VERY QUICKLY) running out of suitors and will eventually land in Sac because of mere attrition....jeeeeeez.

Never. 
If these Golden State dips hire him, we're going to hide him in the basement like Uncle Fester. I feel nothing but pity for all the long suffering Sacto ex-pats living outside of Sacramento who are going to have to continue to endure taunting over this. There are literally polls/threads in forums dedicated to every team in the "hunt" begging their front offices not to do it.

The ONLY, ONLY, ONLY way I don't vomit Spicy V-8 through my nose is if the way he's brought in is through dumping contracts (Hayes, Jimmer, Thornton, Outlaw, etc.). Otherwise, throwing good money/salary cap at him is not well spent.....OR if it's a short-term deal. ONLY ways it's even remotely palatable, period.
That stuff doesn't matter. He's a talented dude, that's not the question.
His personality, attitude, whole philosophy for the game is the issue. he is everything this front office lied to us about wanting to change. He's undisciplined, selfish, talks about himself in the 3rd person, and feels it is his god given right to throw up any shot at any time off his own dribble, because he's Monta Ellli', and he got it all!
And yes in a taste of things to come, haranguing a kid like Reke for years for being "selfish" and then trying to pivot around and back a player like Monta Ellis is pathetic. But yes, we come from the Golden State Warriors -- sure, the Warriors only made the playoffs ONE time in 17 years before last season, but we got the answers and our old personnel is better than your current personnel. Yep. Yep.
