are you proposing he wanted ellis more for his talent or simply to gaurd against another key player being shelved long term for health reasons?
I'm saying that there have been decisions that Hammond has made that could be used to argue that Hammond shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to comments made that may or may not be him simply playing poker as opposed to him giving his honest thoughts... Let me ask u a question: in your opinion, what was the upside for the Bucks of aquiring Monte Ellis? Especially when we already had Jennings and also the evidence of what would happen pairing Ellis with another pseudo-pointguard (as he had already been playing alongside Curry in GS). And I'm not even asking u that in regard to his value as a piece of a larger Bogut trade, I'm saying what was the upside of aquiring him at all. Like trade for him, sign him to a vet min contract, anything that would add him to our team, what is the upside/ceiling of that move?
