Jefferson To Warriors, Lee To Wolves, Ellis To Knicks?

According to the NY Post, the Knicks may bring in Monta Ellis as part of a three-way trade. If a sign-and-trade is immanent, Ellis would at least be great in D’Antoni’s system: “When Stoudemire becomes official, it would end the five-year era of David Lee, but set up a possibility of a sign-and-trade to add another piece. There’s been rumors of a three-way trade talk between Golden State, Minnesota and the Knicks where Lee winds up with the Timberwolves, Monta Ellis comes to the Knicks and Al Jefferson goes to Golden State. Lee visited Minnesota yesterday and it has only $7 million in cap room, meaning he’d want a sign-and-trade.”

    also, if barron was knighted, we’d have to call him sir earl barron which is pretty wtf.

    The phrases ‘Earl Barron’ and ‘answer at centre’ in the one breath hurts my eyes.

    Are the Knicks purposely going after players who dont play defense. I would love for them to get anyone who plays a little D.

  • Sam

    I just think that Lee should stay because those two bigs would kill together. they’d then have chandler also with them. Then, just have Amare recruit only Parker, so they’re team will be a 6th seed next year.

    The only team that this could benefit is the Knicks. Some people don’t think so because of how expensive he is, but if the Knicks wind up getting nobody then they might as well get a good player in Monta Ellis. I don’t think the Knicks should do it, but if it gets near the end of July and all the good players are gone then Monta at point wouldn’t be that bad. His problem is that hes a scorer but hes undersized for the sg. In the right system Monta – Amare would be a good combo. Donnie Walsh is crying himself to sleep after seeing Joe Johnson sign.

    Idk this seems like a good deal for the wolves to all those knocking it. Al Jeff is seriously dumb and was/will be a liability when running the triangle not to mention his inability to understand complex defensive schemes. I’d like to see sota get a true center instead of going from 1 converted pf to another but who knows maybe cousins will shine this year and those 3 should gobble up every rebound on the court.

    vanillagorilla I’m pretty sure minny drafted Wesley Johnson and Sac got Cousins.

    If this happens does this mean by 2011 the knicks grand plan is….
    PG:Tony Parker
    SG:Monta Ellis
    SF:Carmelo Anthony
    PF:Amare Stoudemire
    C:Earl Barron????

    Juks: did you really call Hak a mini-Amare? That’s exactly why I’m not mad that he wants to leave PHX. Suns fans will never recognize.

    Seeing as how New York has all but signed Amare Stoudemire (and probably won’t sign LeBron) I welcome a player of Monta Ellis’s abilities to the mix. Either Monta or Chris Paul would be just fine.

    New York is about to become a problem in the NBA.

  • http://minusthebars.blogspot.com Don

    I wonder why Amare didn’t resign with Phoenix and is Steve Kerr’s resignation had anything to do with this fact?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Pardeep

    If Ellis goes to the Knicks the world will understand how good the guy really is.

    Jaco, if that’s the starting 5, where’s the money to sign a 2nd unit. prob isn’t even money to sign Parker and Melo who are in their primes. Monta with his contract, and then what? no more money.

  • Str8in It Out

  • dsleepy
