Does Monta Ellis have something brewing in the ways of forcing a trade? I understand that he is angry that he was fined roughly $3 million for his bonehead moped stunt but come on. The Warriors can’t possibly trade Ellis, could they?


Golden State is going nowhere this year and are headed for a lottery pick. Ellis is just itching to get back on the court and I don’t know if he will be able to sit out just to force a trade. The most reasonable solution would be for the Warriors to give back some of the money they fined him. But, should they? NO! However, they probably shouldn’t have fined him that much in the first place. I guess the Warriors felt betrayed and wanted to make an example out of Ellis.


This is a tough situation and Ellis is the only one to blame for it. I know he is only twenty-three (twenty-two when he crashed the moped) but isn’t it about time for him to take some responsibility for his actions? Pro athletes have been violating contract stipulations since they were first put into contracts. Look at Vladamir Radmonovic and his snowboarding mishap. He did the right thing by taking his lumps and apologizing and moving on.


Ellis needs to put this mistake behind him so he can get back on the court in that crazy Don Nelson system and start rewarding the patience his owners have shown all year by keeping him on their rosters. Just shut up and play basketball.
