He'd be a nice fit on those nights when Rozier isn't hitting.

Someone on twitter was also talking about how he could be signed for this year and next, giving the C's another contract for a potential deal this summer. That isn't an Ellington specific thing but I saw it talked about pertaining to him.

EDIT: TP to Eddie

As an aside, the contract is important too. Don't be surprised if we sign him, or another buyout guy, to a 2 year deal for the full MLE. The second year will be non-guaranteed and will be used as outgoing salary to acquire Davis.

I like Ellington. He's a good shooter and he excels in movement off-the-ball, working to get open. He's not just a stand in the corner catch and shoot guy.

Good call, that's likely an option they are searching for.

Let's get Ellington.
It's always nice to have a knockdown shooter.

As an aside, the contract is important too. Don't be surprised if we sign him, or another buyout guy, to a 2 year deal for the full MLE. The second year will be non-guaranteed and will be used as outgoing salary to acquire Davis.

Unfortunately, the new CBA removed this as an option. Non-guaranteed contracts under the current CBA can't use the non-guaranteed amount in salary matching unless you guarantee that amount (wow, that is a mouthful). So, if we want to sign a guy now and use his salary in an AD trade, the Pelicans (or a third party) have to pay him that much next year.

That said, we could sign someone to a 2 year deal with the second year nonguaranteed, with the idea that we either guarantee the 2nd year and send him out for AD, or let him go if we don't trade for Davis. We can't use the non-guaranteed money as a super-expiring contract any more, though
I'm bitter.

Ellington is shooting the 3 almost as well as Marcus Smart.

Ooh this is a good point (Or maybe just semi-good after reading Jim's post). I'm excited to see if we nab him, I'm a Carolina guy so I'm contractually obligated but also I've wanted a real knockdown catch and shoot guy for years.
