I wish the site could recognize BEP youtube videos and immediately give negative TP's.

The only one I've ever liked was that first one.

[Who]

Monta Ellis = top ten PG

An elite scorer with above average defense/rebounding but is also a poor floor general/playmaker.

In a situation where that flaw is minimized, Monta Ellis is a hugely valuable player. A second or third best player on a Contender.

[Kane3387]

Monta Ellis = scoring PG

He is best used in an offense that limits the responsibility of the PG to run the offense.

Sure, the same can be said for Kobe Bryant.

But Kobe can lead a team to a 60-win season. Could Monta? Of course not...if he's the primary scorer anyways.

But can Monta Ellis not be the primary scorer if he's playing 30 minutes a night? No, not unless you kept the ball out of his hands.

Could Monta Ellis come off the bench for 20-25 minutes a nights? Probably not, you'd just get a sulky and inefficient 15 points a game and a terrible +/- rating.

So the question remains; what role could Monta play on a contender?

 I think monta would be a great starting shooting guard for this years championship mavs team.

[Lucky17]

Kane, did you compare him to Iverson?

I think that's an apt comparison.

[Kane3387]

Kane, did you compare him to Iverson?

I think that's an apt comparison.

Not as good but just as difficult to plug into a winning formula. Although the brilliant Larry brown almost did it with AI

Also, so its clear where I stand on the Black Eyed Peas, this is what Joints and Jams was by 2004:

I actually don't mind it for Edgar.  He was going nowhere with his previous team, due in large part to selecting Antwan Jamison (bad pick).  There biggest criticisms of his team were that his front court wasn't mobile enough to defend, and that Monta would fight for touches with Deron, making Deron less effective as a "traditional" PG.

This trade alleviated those two concerns.  AK47 is a mobile defender at PF, who can also slide over to SF.  Tyreke doesn't need the ball in his hands as much as Deron, but he's a very dynamic player who can alternate possessions with Monta.  I think his talent level is closer to his rookie year than it was his sophomore campaign, and I expect a bounceback. Salmons, if nothing else, is serviceable and is good depth.

It's not a perfect trade, obviously.  There's nobody in the starting lineup that can be trusted to set up a consistent half-court offense.  However, I think Edgar did improve his team's chances, even if he did lose top line talent.

Oh roy... you so crazy 

When Edgar gets AK47 he's a mobile defender and part of deal that improved his team...

When I draft him he's a scourge on our team (but good value...):

Haha.  I'm not a huge AK47 fan, although he's worth a late 4th rounder, probably.  But yes, other reasons I don't like him:  He's mentally weak, he clashes with coaches and teammates (and his owner, I believe), he complains about touches, he broke down crying after a playoff game, and he's always the first guy out of the gym.

I can't win for losing

Jazz Sends: Richard Jefferson and DeMarcus Cousins
Atlanta Sends: Al Jefferson and Caron Butler.

[StartOrien]

Al Jefferson and Demarcus Cousins just need to find

Where's the blockbuster?

[indeedproceed]

Al Jefferson and Demarcus Cousins just need to find

Each time he gets traded Al dies a little,
Can barely stay on one team,
Take look in the mirror,
Why'd you trade him, yeah yeah.
He spent early in the Celtics Green,
But he just can't get no respect, Lord!

Somebody, Somebody, can anybody find himmmmmmmmm
A plausible role to play.

Okay, so I blew it at the end.

Trade Announced:

Pawnee Pacers send Aaron Brooks, 12.11
Cleveland Cavaliers send Channing Frye

Negative TP's to both teams for making me update the board.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Pawnee Pacers send Aaron Brooks, 12.11
Cleveland Cavaliers send Channing Frye

Excellent acquisition - there were quite a few teams I was hoping A.Brooks would end up on. I think the Cavs were the top of that list.

A potential difference making explosive scoring PG off the bench.

Well his stock has never been lower, but he's nothing if not a change of pace from Ricky Rubio. I give it my stamp of approval.

If anyone wants to talk trades.... I'm in the chat for 20 mins or so

TPs all around
