Thread: Why not make a run at Monta Ellis.....

Lakers For Life wrote: Rather pay 11 million to Ellis than Fisher and Morrison. Ellis is an excellent shooter, atleast from watching him torch the Lakers. He's capable of averaging 20+ points. We need a quick PG that can penetrate and give our bigs easy buckets, if not take it himself, I don't mind. But Fisher is done. Brooks lit him up nasty. Bet you anything Mitch is scrambling to upgrade at the PG position. I'd only keep...

They can buy out Fisher, send him back to LA to retire. I don't doubt anything after getting Gasol for KWAME! Aside from the fact that Gasol was well worth the money and was an elite player. Ellis? Not even close. Don't compare Ellis to Gasol, compare him to what we got now. He'd be...
