Here's where I found it:
www.nba.com
Here's my response:
Kirk Hinrich, Andres Nocioni and Tyrus Thomas for Monta Ellis, Corey Maggette, Brandan Wright and Ronny Turiaf
Okay, so we give up somebody who's potentially a future all star, Mr. Bad Porn, the guy we traded away J-Rich for, and the best cheerleader in the league. So we give up a facillitator who is a threat in the open court. Corey gives us tons of points and turnovers off the bench. B-Wright, everybody has their own opinion about him. And Ronny Turiaf, he's a top-notch defender except when it comes to the King.
Kirk Hinrich, my first guess is that he'll have a clash with Crawford. Andres Nocioni might be able to stretch the defense, but slow much?!?! Tyrus Thomas? Uhh...sure. I don't know. Whatever
What a useless fan post.
Here's your thoughts:
EDIT: I only spent four minutes writing this post cause I had to go play basketball. Now that I'm back, and I pulled a muscle in my back, I think I have TONS of time to write now.

Nope
Just needed to read the title to realize that this was a dumb idea. WE ARE NOT TRADING MONTA ELLIS. Everyone just needs to accept that and stop with the pointless trade ideas. Focus them instead on trading Davidson, Kurz, and Williams for a semi decent guy who doesnt mind not playing at all when we have a healthy 12 man rotation.
I Believe In Monta Ellis.
i cant even tell if these posts are serious or trying to be satiracle
either way, effin dumb
YAH...
for the BULLS! But what about us? haha
Geeez Louf*ckingweeez!!!

this
is like the evil alternate version of a gsom trade thread.
I read this over at the Blog-a-Bull
and was wondering what you guys thought about this. My first thought was, “Why would GS give up Monta for this??” I think this is from the mind of Sam Smith. The guy is a rumor machine.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
why
do you need to think? if you click on the link sam smith published this lol.
Yeah.
Sam will tell you what to think!

Worst trade ever...
a while ago one of our members suggested that we trade a bunch of our garbage for Oden. That’s got to be up there.
Thing 2
and not just for the warriors. dude wants to blow up the bulls and poach every available player off the worst teams of the west coast. wtf? this will somehow make the bulls a contender in the second half of the season? monta, derrick rose, maggette, deng, and kaman? do those five people even know each other’s names?
o right. maggette and kaman do. that’s what it is! rebuild the clippers from 5 years ago in chicago with a really good rookie and england’s best basketball player = MAGIC.
Monta Ellis>Kirk Hinrich
Corey Maggette>Andres Nocioni
Brandan Wright>Tyrus Thomas
then plus just giving away Ronny Turiaf?!?!?
are you kidding me
Hinrich for Ellis
Even I wouldn’t do this trade. We can do better than hindrick with Montay. Either a better point or a power forward.
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.

wow!
Sam Smith is retarded. aint he the guy who bashed J Rch not to long ago? and to think we would rather have that. and to just give up Turiaf?! if we did not have him we would have less wins than the Clippers.
So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

The only way I would ever, ever, ever possibly trade Monta
Is in an Antonio McDyess style trade for Baron Davis. Where monta then rejoins the team.
or probably for LeBron James. Or Dwyane Wade. Maybe Chris Paul. But that’s it!
Monta
He still has a way to go to get back to form. If he ever does (which I hope he will).
I’d be surprised anyone would trade for him until he shows he can do what he used to be able to do consistently.
Personally, I’d say a suns trade of sorts would make more sense (lets get Nash!)
He already proved he's just as fast as before and can jump still
He just needs to get his conditioning back. And why the hell would we want Nash? He’s an old and aging point that needs a near championship team around him for it to make sense. That’s not us.
THe nash thing was a joke :)
We want to continue to develop our youngsters.
I hope his mid-long range jumper comes back – conditioning is easy to get back.
If it comes from Sam Smith, you already know it’s not a credible source.
Warriors, Stupidest franchise in the league.
exactly...
The fact that he has to put his name on top of everything he writes saves me a lot of frustration. You might as well put a label on the article that says BS.
Thing 2
what is this. why would anyone believe this garbage.
no HUMAN BEING is stupid enough to do something like this. good lord we aren’t going to trade our two franchise players away for NOTHING. good god dont EVER post crap like this again PLEASE.
NO.
that’s what i do
I'm going to get banned for all these mindless comments.

Wow,
I sat back and tried to think of a possible upside to this trade and counldnt think of even 1. We get rid of Maggette’s contract but pick up bad ones in Nocioni and Hinrich. Both are decent players but are grossly over paid for several years. Thomas is a high flyer and does ok on the glass, but seems to have a low basketball iq and a bad attitude. Also Thomas is not as good as Wright, and we are also losing are only backup center. To complete the deal we are tossing in our franchise player(22 years old, just inked a pretty reasonable contract in the off season) for some reason to be determined.
Can anyone think of one positive?
Too bad our front office is such a debacle, otherwise we might be good someday...

We will probably need to be patient and let this season play out.

our not are
Nelly has wet dreams about starting Monta at center.
ummm....
unless when he said Kirk Hinrich he meant Derrick Rose, and when he said Nocioni he meant Luol Deng, and when he said Ty Thomas he meant all the Bulls 1st round picks for the next decade, then no.

why bother with Hinrich?
Didn’t we learn our lesson already from the likes of Todd Fuller, Rony Seikaly, Dunleavey, and Murphy?
white
isnt right for the warriors unless that white player is european.

What an idiot! So Larry Bird would be a no go?

was
larry bird on the warriors?
before you mention rick barry think how far back that was. that pre-1980s
larry bird on the warriors?
and by your reasoning he never would be? How about Bill Walton or John Stockton? Don’t you think any of them would be warrior material? or maybe David Lee? or Kevin Love??

better yet
lets trade ellis, maggette, and turiaf for jordan, pippen, and john sally….they still play right? lmao
we gon' make 'em run, make 'em follow the lead
nelly on the side lines with tricks up his sleeve
in the bay, we go hard cause we playin' for passion
you know who it is, aint no need for askin'
if we traded monta ellis...
we’d better get someone like Amare in return.. and Amare under contract for at least 3-4 years at that
I KICKED IT WITH JESUS ONCE.. HE'S KIND OF A PRICK
man
you are crazy. no way Kirk Hinrich is as good as Monta
"Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath"-Wilt
I saw dat to...
Some guy named Sam Smith. That trade is ony going to benefit the Bulls not the Warriors. We have enough shooters as their is, we don’t another guy that will come in and look for his own shot
I liked Danny Wood back in the day
just because he got on Charles Barkley’s nerves so much. Only other white player that was good was none other than white chocolate, but what a waste of talent. Nothing wrong with great white players, just the average ones, like Hinrich, we don’t need to see anymore of, please ’o please!
