Trade Confirmed
Washington sends: Monta Ellis
Chicago sends: Joe Johnson
Boo whoever is Chicago. You offered way more than I was willing to for Ellis.
If anyone needs to shed some salary give your friend Evan a call (that's me, in case that wasn't clear)
Yeah, I offered way better value as well.
Not sure taking on Monta is ever a good idea.
Why not? I get it. It's the CB Monta hate is it.
Chicago's defense is still stellar, maybe top 3 even with Monta (who averages 2 steals BTW). Albeit inefficient, he can still score 20 a game. He can find open teammates (5 assists per game).
Say everything about him. Cancer, chucker, etc. Chicago is not concerned. While it does not want to get rid of JJ, Chicago is still a team to beat in the East with this lineup, the team knows it and you guys know it.
#BOOM!
