I guess he just wants out of Milwaukee that bad.

They are gonna lose him and jennings that sucks

Lets grab one

Monta from Mississippi maybe he wants to come back home.

He had a very solid 4-5 year stretch, but hes just gotten less efficient each year. Its not like hes too old which leaves me to question; wtf is going on with him?

Too small. Too inefficient. Doesn't defend.

excellent backup if the price is right

I agree. For the right price, he would be amazing. He can score and facilitate. The other night he had 27pts/ 17ast/ 8 reb/ 5stls. But he is likely going to get payed pretty heavily by teams looking for that scoring punch.

i wonder if he'll take less money to go to a better team or if somebody like the bobcats or magic offer him the max

backup ?? you gotta be kidding man!!

Doesnt fit our team but if he played d he coulda been one of the best players in the league

Well he is 4th in the league in steals. Maybe its just the system he has been a part of. It can't help playing with jennings.

If he's smart, he'll take less money and play the "guy off the bench who can win you a game with a crazy shooting night" role for a contender. He would excel in limited minutes with no other responsibility than to score.

Wanted him on the team before we got Gordon. Then we got Gordon. Then me no really like Gordon anymore. So...why not?

Yeah I agree he doesn't fit. If he was 6-7 and could play SF then maybe so!

If we could sign him for 8 mill a year or under, I'd be down.

i know that he loves new orleans very much and would love to play here.. price will no work probably

Guy that's 6'7" and that athletic great from mid-range and attacking the basket? Sounds like DeMar DeRozan.

God, I hope the Raptors would be willing to part with him. Give Terrence Ross some PT or something. I dunno.

Eman loves his high flyers, so his judgement is clouded when it comes to Derozan :hihi:

Maybe he's just desperate for some talent. I know most of us are.

ellis
Deroazan
Aminu
Davis

how u know he loves New Orleans?

Im also a high derozan guy.
Averages 18-4-3
He is only 23
Shoots a good field goal percentage at 44%
Has a great mid range game, great dunker and finishing through contact
Excellent FT shooter at 83% which is why he might be such a great mid range shooter, only shoots 25% from 3 but has nice form and could improve but will never be a knockdown 3point shooter.
One thing that bothers me is for huge big, long and athletic he is, he isn't a good defender, but I think Monty could fix that.

And please no monta ellis, he is 27 and he doesnt fit monty's type of player at all, he is non existent on defense.

No. We are not getting Zeller. Not with a 5/6 or even 7 pick.

You assuming he's going to be gone by then?

B/c I hope you meant that we just won't draft him. We don't need him. He's not really a TRUE Center. I'd rather have Lopez and take Burke/Smart or Porter/Bazz.

Hey!

Yeah. That's true. But I live that he takes a lot of mid range shots and he's already prone to taking turnaround Js and draining them? Like that a lot.

Also doesn't mind playing D.

And? I want no part of him OR Jennings.

Jennings I can get, but what'd DeRozan ever do?

Maybe he was saying Jennings and Ellis

そうか。

Can't believe it took this long for somebody to post this. Ellis and Jennings are both overrated high volume scorers. Not to mention Jennings isn't going anywhere, Milwaukee has no choice but to match.

I think he's talking about Ellis and Jennings. Demar isn't a bad player, but didn't be sign a 10+ mill extension last year? For that price no thanks.

His wife lives in Memphis. I used to see he him all the time at the grocery there. I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizzlies go after him, now that they have some space.

Not really. the cap is set at 58 Million for this season and they're already at $57,867,541 guaranteed total.

Plus, If Hollinger didn't like Gay, he's not going to like Ellis either.
