Pump the brakes on the Ellis/Beidrins talk.

As much as I like Ellis - he is really injury prone.

Ellis was not with the team in Los Angeles for the annual post-All-Star break evening practice. While the Warriors prepare to take on the Lakers — who will have Kobe Bryant (sprained left ankle) and Andrew Bynum (injured right hip), according to the LA Times — Ellis will be in Birmingham, Ala. getting checked out by Dr. James Andrews. He is the same doctor who repaired Ellis’ left ACL when he tore it in high school.

The Warriors are still sounding like it’s no big deal, though seven days of rest wasn’t enough to get him ready to play. There certainly is no need to rush Ellis back, considering the season is over anyway. But something is not right enough for Ellis to fly to Alabama and be evaluated. Ellis said he was scared when he first sustained the injury because it was the same knee with the surgically repaired ACL. But maybe he’s just being extra precautious.

I'm not to hot for Ellis now.

Well, I don't like the idea of us getting Ellis anyway, but it's a little bit erroneous to claim Ellis is injury prone.

He's only missed a few games all season, and when has played he's played lots and lots of minutes.  Last season he missed significant time but that was because of a non-basketball related accident.

Really, the only fragility I'd be concerned with in Ellis's case is his mental fragility.

If he's healthy like the Clippers trade for Camby it's a no brainer..lol

Ws were saying no truth to this deal yesterday, especially the part about trading Monta. Who knows if that is just preventative damage control, though? They are apparently shopping Biedrins hard, and can't find a taker for Maggette.

he is probably injury prone but he is a very good scorer and gets it done.

[I Love Getting Rondod]

Ellis is a terrible fit for this club, he is an offensive black hole and a defensive matador.  He would ruin Rondo, who would thrive with a swingman or a skilled PF.  I love Biedrins but I Iove Perk more, I see no reason to give up on him.  We should be targeting someone like Kevin Martin or Iggy, although watch out for Martin's injury woes.
