Golden State Will Trade 6th Pick If Other Team Takes Monta Ellis


Recommended Posts

The Warriors are talking to a number of teams about potential trades and it looks like the No. 6 pick in the draft is up for grabs. The cost, however is high. The Warriors want whoever takes the pick to take on the contract of Monta Ellis as part of the deal. If the Warriors keep the pick, they're deciding between Greg Monroe and Ekpe Udoh. My source continues to support what I wrote Tuesday night -- Udoh has the edge.

Umm...

 

Where do I sign up? :P

 

On a serious note though, you have to think that there is more to this. I can't see the Warriors simply trading away the 6th pick and Monta Ellis just to dump salary. It makes absolutely no sense. The Warriors have made some head scratching moves in the past, but this is just insane.

As fast I would buy his jersey, poster, and fap to the thought of it, that would be a bad trade for GS.

 

Yeah basically, but it is a firesale after all.

This trade basically shows whether you like quantity or quality.

 

Options:

 

- Take a high-stock player that is signed to a high contract, with no guarantee of producing or achieving heights

 

- Trade the high pick to another team in exchange for players that have a history of producing or potential picks that decrease your chance of missing on every pick and have much lower contracts

 

Yep, I think I'll take quantity
