Merged: Monta Ellis agrees to 3 yr / $30 million deal with MAVS

I hear there is parade going on in Houston right now. Dolfan you wouldn't have anything to do with that would you?

We have to convince him why Atlanta is the greatest city to play in first! Honestly, I would be happy if we matched Teague's offer sheet. But if he doesn't want to be here, then why force him to? Sign someone like Mo Williams to help Schröder develop.

Teague already said he wanted to come back when we hired Bud but I guess Ferry dragging his feet (didn't make bringing back Teague a priority) kinda pissed him off whereas the Bucks and LD made it known that they wanted him almost as soon as LD got there.

Except Brandon hasn't been left wide open in two years. Brandon's issues is iso scoring and finishing in the paint. If you actually look into the stats instead of make silly abrasive opinions, you would see that.

39% or worse shooting in 4 seasons gets ignored and your telling me about stats. Teague even had more assist with Smoove on the team bricking it up.

Yeah he is more upset at Ferry. And Ferry didn't see him as his future PG in the first place.

Most of Teague assists are within the play, they aren't created assists at all. Sorry but Jennings was their #1 or #2 option. For Atlanta he wouldn't be. Jeff at best was our #4 option during his time in Atlanta while having a usage rate higher than CP3. Bobby Jackson all over again. Jennings has his flaws but just like Josh, in the right role and personnel, you can hide them.

[BackForThe2ndTime]

The biggest issue is Ellis is proven in this league and Jennings isn't. Ellis is a SG and those are hard to find and Jennings is a PG and those are readily available. So if Jennings has more potential and talent than Ellis, it wouldn't play a role in FA unless he has produced at that level.

What has Ellis proven that Jennings hasn't? I'm not sure Ellis is much more different than Jennings the way their games are made up. Monta is just 2 inches taller, better scorer, and not willing to pass the ball as much as Jennings. And 4 years older meaning less likely to change the way he plays.

Teagues tweets tell me ferry told him he wasnt bringing him back. I cant think of any other reason to act like he is.Unless of course he is TRYING to be a spoiled brat so ferry wont want him.

[RWF]

Jennings need to be a 2nd option on offense. Horford could do that for him.

I don't think Ferry told him much of anything... in my opinion his reaction to the situation was as if he was left in the dark.

Eric Gordon signed an offer sheet with the Suns last season, he didn't want N.O. to match, they did and he is still in N.O.

Lamar Odom got pissy when the LA trade got overturned by Stern and got in a huff about wanting to be trade, LA traded him and he just fell off the map in Dallas.

Shit happens - deal with it.

If Ferry decides to match, he does and 'lil Jeffy poo' will like it. If he doesn't, buh-bye Jeff.

These examples are horrible; they both went on to play absolutely horrible uninspired basketball the next year.

Not to mention, the Hornets said they wanted him back. The Hornets did what they were going to do Day 1. I hope we don't keep this chump. He would f**k up Horford development and make us a legit contender for the 8th seed. That's like getting fugged twice. We already been fugged enough during this free agency.

I don't think we are ready for an even more passive uninspired "I don't want to be here" Teague.

But if we sign him he would be a good trade piece right? Ask NO that same question about Gordon. They are darn near trying to give him away.

[Sothron]

So glad to hear this.

No Monta, no Teague, no Jennings. Trade Millsap and Korver at the deadline. Stockpile assets and pray we get a high lottery pick. Sounds like a winning long term plan to me.
