Monta Ellis has officially opted out of his contract with the Mavs and is unlikely to resign. So who will he go to? The Heat have shown interest in him...
Monta Ellis is only 29, but plays like an experienced veteran. He plays like a leader and puts up great numbers. Last year in Dallas, he put up a respectful 18.9 points per game, 4.1 assists per game and 2.4 rebounds per game. But Dallas wasn't working for him, so he left to look for a new home. Our main competition for Ellis are the Indiana Pacers. However, the reason Ellis would work for us is due to the possibly departing Dwyane Wade. Wade wants a lot of money, but it looks like the Heat can't give it to him. Therefore, Ellis would be a great fit for the Heat. Luol Deng is also likely to leave, but we can make a great 2015-16 roster with Chris Bosh, Goran Dragic, Ellis, Hassan Whiteside, Josh McRoberts and our tenth draft pick (which we will find out TOMORROW!!!), not to mention young players with potential (think James Ennis and Tyler Johnson) that will spark a playoff run. So even if Deng and Wade leave, if we get Ellis, our future is bright!
