If we're giving Ty Lawson looks I don't see why we shouldn't give Ellis a look also. He averaged 14 points and 5 assists last season. We need to replace Tim Frazier eventually and Monta would be a solid scoring guard off the bench that could give us 13-4 a night.

Ellis averaged 8.5 pts and 3.2 assists last year in 27 MPG. He has really fallen off a cliff.

ETA: To put it in perspective, Tim Frazier was a better player than Ellis last year - 7.1 pts, 5.2 assists in 23 mins with a PER of 12. Monta had a PER of 9

Vet min is 2.3 mil for him and I think that's too much.

If they need someone to completely ignore an offensive scheme and chuck bricks all day I'll dust off my Jordan's.

I've always been a Monta Ellis fan, but he has been pretty bad the past couple years in Indiana. His overall numbers have been down, his shooting percentages have been bad, and his defense was never that great either. Nevertheless, especially considering the Pelicans badly need a guard that puts the ball in the hoop, I'd be willing to take a chance on him if the price is right.

You literally just said "he cant put the ball in the hoop, we need a guy who puts the ball in the hoop, i want him."

I'd sign him if I knew he would play against us 82 times in a row.... otherwise he's worthless

Would automatically be the team's fifth best player if signed. That's how bad the depth is.

We already have a spark plug in Jordan Crawford. We need shooters and a PG that can facilitate.
