Monta Ellis out 1-2 Weeks
Great. Yet another injury to our already fragile roster.
What do you think about bringing him back in January now?
Do you think we should have traded him?
Do you think we should void his contract?
Do you think we can still make the playoffs?
Do you STILL BELIEVE?
Do you think they should cut him off the roster and pick me up so I can play with my hero Rob Kurz?
Definitely YES to the last one.

he rushed his comeback and we now know that
this sucks because he was just starting to look good again
im glad
at least they are going to make sure he is 100…i just want him 100 by next season
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak

Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
damn it my fantasy team is like the warriors
constant injuries!
yes for me at least
I made the mistake of overvalueing my favorite team’s players.
and with the first pick in the fantasy draft.
calamity chooses…
“MONTA ELLIS!? This is a horrible mistake. Everyone knows LeBron should be the no-brainer pick!”
Why should this change anything?
The playoffs weren’t a remotely realistic possibility in any case. All this does is make it slightly more likely that we can try 100% and still lose enough games not to completely sabotage our lottery position.
Godspeed, Monta…

integrity.
Integrity is doing what it takes to improve the team even if it means sacrificing this season for future gains. Haven’t the bubbles taught you anything?
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.

I read your definition
But I think I’ll stick with the definition that’s posted on the merriam-webster’s online dictionary: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility
Kind of Unbelievable
Considering he looked his best last night since he has returned, makes you wonder a bit.
seriously....
i know man, apparently he was really pissed and left the game early last night. hopefully this isnt the start of another al harrington situation. monta is my favorite player and i would hate to see this happen
kevin garnett is a prick. that is all.

pissed, leaves early...
To me this answers WHY he got pissed and left early. I don’t see this as a conspiracy cover-up fake injury to conceal his frustration. I see a low-level injury making him pop his cork because he wants to come back at full strength more than anybody.
Yo, Monta: I got a couple awesome rehabilitation therapists here in San Francisco I want to introduce you to. Stay off that physical therapy and all the drugs and go the Chinese way. Tui Na. Active Release Therapy. Qi Gong.
Why should they do anything such as voiding his contract or trading him?
How many players on this team besides Monta have been sidelined due to injuries? How many of them have taken forever to get back in shape and start playing again?
My point is, it’s not just Monta. This whole team is injury prone this season. So why no talks of voiding or trading the other players?
Monta is 23!!! I know he’s been sucking lately, but give him a chance. I don’t want him traded or void his contract at all.
Hello people.
I am a big Monta fan and don't want him traded either...
but there is a difference between Monta and the other injured players.
You said:
My point is, it’s not just Monta. This whole team is injury prone this season. So why no talks of voiding or trading the other players?
It’s because he violated his contract in riding a Moped. That’s where all the drama lies. It is even more of a big deal because we highly relied on him especially when Baron left.

I'm kind of torn
on Monta cause I’m thinking he rushed his comeback instead of acting like Gilbert Arenas and being out the whole season but damn. Hopefully Biedrins is back tomorrow so we’ll only have Wright and Ellis on the bench. I guess CJ Watson and Marco will play more minutes which by last night’s game shouldn’t kill us too bad.
This is a good move
I’d rather have a 90-100% Monta playing out there in a week rather than a 70% Monta playing right now (and quite frankly, not doing that well).
This is to prevent further injury
and besides, it’s not like we were going anywhere this year so let’s be sure he’s 100% for next season.
and maybe we’ll actually get to see some Morrow
There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.
marco gets more time, AR less!
Now we need turiaf to get injured, I think he is the only one who hasn’t been hurt yet
Turiaf has missed two games
but that was flu related.

Is it me or does it seems like when 1 warrior is ready to come back one gets injured or misses a couple games
but our team has been injured the whole year. i think this team can be a 500 team if at full strength but we need to get there first
"does it seems like when 1 warrior is ready to come back one gets injured or misses a couple games"
Yeah, everyone’s been saying that all season. “So it goes with the Warriors injuries” has been in several injury related articles.
by IQofaWarrior on Feb 22, 2009 6:32 PM PST up reply actions
- In hindsight, he came back too early. Maybe Monta was just trying to prove himself to save his contract.
- We should not trade him. He looked good yesterday, so when Monta’s at 100%, I think he’ll be fine.
- We should not void his contract.
- Playoffs? Hahahahahahaha.
- I believe the Warriors will be able to absorb Monta’s absence. We have enough guys to cover for him.
- Rob Kurz? Sure, 6 more fouls can come in handy, always! … occasionally… rarely… er, who are we talking about again?
the true sign of a future Hall of Famer.... contributed more than Kosta or POB
that hall is gonna be standing room only.

We should've suspended him longer.
But I wouldn’t mind voiding him still. I would love an ensuing scenario like this:
In the off-season:
-Expect Clippers to cut Baron. If so, offer him MLE.
-Sign solid role player for 1-Year.
-Draft BPA. Hopefully it will be Brandon Jennings, have him develop under BD and others.
PG: BD
SG: Crawford [Opt Out Clause]
SF: S-Jax
PF: Turiaf
C: Biedrins
6th Man: C-Mag
Youth to Watch: AR, BW, Marco, Jennings/BDPA
Role Players: Watson, A-Mo, Buike, FA Big (Bass, Wilcox, Gooden, Ariza)
2010 Off-Season:
Draft BPA (We’ll probably draft like 20+ x] )
Sign Big Name Free Agent ftmfw
Hasheem "The Dream" Thabeet or Greg Monroe. A Warrior in 09.
With the 6th Pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the SF Giants pick Donovan Tate.
Andre Smith in Silver & Black in 2009.

2 things
1. this isn’t the nfl where players can be cut. baron isn’t going anywhere.
2. brandon jennings would be the worst draft pick in the history of anything
2 Things
1. Buyout is what I meant.
2. Brandon Jennings would be an excellent pick, considering just last year he was the Consensus #1 Freshman going into NCAA ball. Secondly, POB will blow Jennings out of the water in terms of worst draft picks in the current drafting history of the Warriors.

uhh
What do you think about bringing him back in January now? He was ready… and now he is sore… besides it sounds to be more cautionary than anything and with marco coming back and no sight of the playoffs there is no reason to keep running him out there for 40 mins a game. its all about next season.
Do you think we should have traded him? Should have traded him? To who? For what? and no.
Do you think we should void his contract? umm nope. the guy is young and will be back to himself next season
Do you think we can still make the playoffs? …. uhh what? We are like 16 games below .500.
Do you STILL BELIEVE? The we believe team has been dismantled… but I believe we will make the playoffs next year, if we don’t have as many injuries as this year
Do you think they should cut him off the roster and pick me up so I can play with my hero Rob Kurz? def not.
breach of contract = void
isnt this what its supposed to be?

I'm curious
Why ANYONE would want to void Monta’s contract or trade him is beyond me. Did the coaching staff work with him all these years for him to become an all star on another team? Tell me who would take the place of Monta on this team. NO ONE. Yes we all love Marco and Morrow, but they can’t do it like Monta.
I know it’s frustrating, but it’s just not smart to void his contract. This team is different when he is playing and I wouldn’t doubt it if they lose against the Clippers without Monta. Oh and another thing-this is probably one of the worst draft classes I’ve seen since Michael Olowakandidlkafjdlkn was picked first so I really could care less about tanking to get a good draft pick unless it’s top 3, which ain’t happening…Brandon Jennings=BUST.
Why ANYONE would want to void Monta’s contract or trade him is beyond me.
It’s cause we got too many two guards and not enough power forwards or point guards. Montay and Crawford are too similiar to make it worth keeping both of them and Montay probably has more trade value than Crawford so that’s why.
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?

if he opts out
it’ll be because he wants to win. No way he’s gonna get 2 years for 20 mil which he’s due. He’d get midlevel from playoff team needing a scorer off bench
I hope he does though
He’s just so inconsistent

Montay and Crawford are too similiar
Too similar? So a mediocre point guard who can’t really handle the ball but has blazing speed and a deadly midrange jumper who can’t shoot a 3 is the same as a crazy ballhandler who gets fouled on threes more than anyone and is very streaky and usually clutch are the similar?
Ohh now I see the similarities…Just because they play the same position does not mean they are similar players, which is my whole point of why we shouldn’t void his contract. Besides, Crawford will opt out so that settles the too many two guards and not enough power forwards problem. Are you saying you’d take Crawford over Ellis?

If we had a 2-guard we could hella rely on
I would definitely keep Crawford over Ellis. I’d probably end up paying for it in the future, but hey, almost everything in life is a risk.
I take it that you are a supreme NBA scout in assuming that Jennings will be a bust?
Or are you a reincarnated Nostradamus?

Is just like you saying he’ll be good developing under BD. Or any other claim you make about any potential draft picks for that matter.

So, where did I say he'll develop good under BD?
I just said have him develop under BD. Calling the player who broke multiple records at prestigious Oak Hill, who also won the Naismith, ESPN, and Gatorade POTY awards, and was rated the #1 Senior recruit by ESPN and Scout.com on his resume is surely a bust? Get real.

Do you get what I’m saying? Last time I heard he hasn’t played that well overseas. Not saying he’s gonna be bad I just don’t think he’ll be as good as all the hype. I just really don’t like this draft class that’s all.

What is Happening withthis team injury
I though B Wright is the only Warriors gonna be on injury list. When AB come back tommorow. CJ is and Marco is good replacement for Monta but Ellis is better defender.
I dont think Ellis
is a better defender than Marco. Monta can’t fight through a screen for the life of him. Watch Marco, he Rambo’s his way through there, lol. He’s a lot more physical on defense than when he came in the league and its paying off. I feel bad, but im glad Marco’s gonna get this extra time. Ellis isnt scoring or passing like Marco can at this point, and I dont think he will until he’s 100%. On second thought, he’ll probably never pass as good as Marco…

Monta
showed his best legs of the year last saturday. I guess they weren’t ready for the performance however cause now he’s out. I liked what I saw though on saturday, we got to see those nice top of the key jumpers we were used to seeing last year. I was sort of relieved, “oh thank goodness monta is FINALLY back.” But now he’s out 1-2 weeks.
Marco is a way better defender than monta…..period.
I have lots of free music on my site if anyone wants it. Just click on my name.
Does anyone else think Monta might not have gotten hurt again
if he wasn’t playing so many minutes a night? That didn’t seem to make sense from a winning perspective (since he clearly was getting winded on the court) or from a health perspective. I wondered at the time why they didn’t ease him in more, and now I’m wondering even more.
Unless it’s all a Rowell plot to show that Monta was damaged goods so he can void him!
