The Inevitable Trade of Ellis... Proposal

by HireMeAsGM on Nov 17, 2009 3:33 PM PST

So it looks like Monta Ellis is heading down the same path as Stephen Jackson... So let the trade proposals begin...

The most realistic trade partner in my opinion is the Philadelphia 76ers. Why? Because the 76ers want to move Dalembert and his $12 million dollar contract. Here is my proposal....

76ers send:

Samuel Dalembert: $12,025,694

Andre Iguodala: $12,200,000

Thaddeus Young: $2,105,400

Total Salary: $36,331,094

Warriors send:

Monta Ellis: $11,000,000

Corey Maggette: $8,937,931

Speedy Claxton: $5,209,454

Total Salary: $25,147,385

Warriors unload a disgruntled player + a salary contract nightmare for a bigger 2 that can play in the backcourt with Curry and a SF to replace the loss of Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette. Dalembert can be a serviceable backup Center to Biedrins.

New Look Lineup:

PG: Curry / Watson

SG: Iguodala / Morrow

SF: Buike(When he returns from injury) / Young

PF: Randolph / Turiaf

C: Biedrins / Dalembert

Looks like a solid team to me. And we don't lose much talent wise.

What do you think?

Dalembert

They’re so totally desperate to get rid of him.

They’re not desperate enough to give up Iggy

by hellafornia on Nov 17, 2009 9:08 PM PST up reply actions

Maybe

I don’t think they would part with Iguodala myself, though.

They’d be incredibly stupid if they did.

Good idea, I was thinking a trade with them two, but then I forgot that they had Lou Williams who is a lot like Monta.

by duballers23 on Nov 17, 2009 3:34 PM PST reply actions

whaaaaat?

why on earth would philly do that? just because the salaries match up doenst mean theyll dismantle their team. basically they are giving up their best and second best player for monta ellis and garbage? not to mention they can get a good package just for dalembert while keeping the one guy selling tickets. horrible post

by Benjamoats on Nov 17, 2009 3:40 PM PST reply actions

yea they just woudlnt take this

maybe if anthony randolph was in there+1st round pick

by cjl49 on Nov 17, 2009 3:40 PM PST reply actions

Statistically

Monta > Iguodala
Maggette > Young

Brandan Wright can be a throw in if need be.

by HireMeAsGM on Nov 17, 2009 3:47 PM PST reply actions

Maybe statistically...

But Iguodala is, by far, the better all-around player.

by samuraaaaiiiiiii on Nov 17, 2009 3:51 PM PST up reply actions

If you ignore the crap out of defense, MAYBE.

But even then, I’m not sure

by dprodigy19 on Nov 18, 2009 3:48 PM PST up reply actions

I can think of 30 GMs in the league

that would take Iggy over Monta

...and that's a good thing

by In Walks Rudy on Nov 20, 2009 12:35 PM PST up reply actions

This is ridiculous

by ARandolph on Nov 17, 2009 3:54 PM PST reply actions

Ai is one of the only people I'd want in return of Monta

But what are the chances of that?

Philly Doesn't Do This With A Gun At Their Head

Never never never will happen..Is this your cream dream??

by The Sear on Nov 17, 2009 7:51 PM PST reply actions

Good for us

but the sixers would never do it

by dong4ce on Nov 17, 2009 8:43 PM PST reply actions

Philly's...

3/5 starting lineup are in that trade. No way they would do that considering Andre Iguodala is in it. Iguodala is better than Monta Ellis, no way they would trade their franchise player for him, let alone throw in their starting F and C for a guy that is overpaid and comes off the bench.

by DubsFan408 on Nov 17, 2009 8:52 PM PST reply actions

they wouldn’t trade igoudala

by Kid Curry on Nov 17, 2009 9:24 PM PST reply actions

more realistic trade

iggy dal 4 monta, biedrins, george….

personally i’d do it. Biedrins is overrated and overvalued. Iggy is clearly best player of the 4, an unselfish swing with high assist to turn over ratio, and a very VERY good defender. We’d still be al ottery team, and there are a variety of good young bigs (Favors, Motejuanetas, Ed Davis, Cole Aldrich, Greg Monroe off top of my head).

Second, next summer we’d be around 30 mil under the cap with Bigs like Pau Gasol, David West, Yao Ming, Al hortford, Greg Oden).

Third, if we didn’t wanna go into free agent market Vlad + dalemberts expirings should be able to be valuable trade pieces…

by tafkasam on Nov 17, 2009 9:51 PM PST reply actions

I think you’re overvaluing Dalembert a little. He isn’t very good, his contract is HORRIBLE, and he’s old.

by Reverend_Randy on Nov 17, 2009 10:33 PM PST up reply actions

it expires in 2011 though....

Which if this trade happened we’d have to deal w/ him a little over a year.

Next season we could have…

curry, Iggy, keleena on the perimeter positions. Which defensively would be a huge upgrade, and offensively could be too (iggy is as efficient if not more than current monta, and a better passer)

by tafkasam on Nov 18, 2009 8:54 AM PST up reply actions

he isn old....

he’s 28. His ocntract expires when he’s 30

by tafkasam on Nov 18, 2009 8:57 AM PST up reply actions

Huh, I thought his contract was a little longer than that.
Still- he’s not a great player.

by Reverend_Randy on Nov 19, 2009 1:44 AM PST up reply actions

his contract expires 2010/2011

11 mil this year, 12 next. That’s it

by tafkasam on Nov 19, 2009 9:39 AM PST up reply actions

Yeah, I got that.

by Reverend_Randy on Nov 22, 2009 6:12 PM PST up reply actions

warrior will not be a playoff team for the next 13+ years again

i like iguodola, doubt they make this trade with him
