So apparently the Bulls were really close to getting Monta Ellis?

 

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228771/Kings-In-Lead-For-Monta-Ellis-After-Bulls-Pursuit-Falls-Short

 

After an increasing belief the Chicago Bulls had been in position to acquire Monta Ellis, the Sacramento Kings have separated themselves as frontrunners to sign the free agent guard on a three-year contract, league sources told RealGM on Tuesday afternoon.

 

Ellis set up meetings with teams over the weekend and into the week, and he privately believed in recent days that joining the Bulls in a sign-and-trade between Chicago and the Milwaukee Bucks had been a growing possibility. Despite a hard push out of the Bulls, they ultimately couldn’t make the moves necessary to facilitate a potential sign and trade, a source said.

 

Behind the Kings, Ellis is also considering the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks. Yet, all three organizations must complete roster moves to create salary room. The Kings and Mavericks need to move contracts, while the Hawks would have to use Jeff Teague in a sign-and-trade.

 

The Kings have yet to broach discussion with John Salmons about using the amnesty clause on him, a league source told RealGM. Salmons has two seasons left on his contract, including a team option on the second year.

Just came to post that. Really not sure how that could've possibly worked.

 

TNT's David Aldridge confirmed that the Bulls had a lot of interest in Ellis, "but couldn't figure out a way to swing a deal without giving up one of their core pieces, including forward Taj Gibson." So there you have it.

Yeah Ellis at 3-4 years for 10 mil a year +/- is not something I'd want to be a part of and Goudelock is absolutely [expletive] terrible.

I know it's a summer league game, but Teague really impressed me. He needs to still add strength, work on his jumper, and do a better job of finishing around the basket but he was able to take his man off the dribble whenever he wanted to. He has so much quickness and his handles were much improved from last year. He made some nice passes as well.

 

I hope we give Goudelock a contract if Nate decides to go elsewhere.

Teague is the fifth or sixth man off the bench at best. There was no defense last night. Almost like an All-Star game. I think we already knew Teague can break down his man, but after that?

 

Bulls had those ugly Golden State spandex t-shirts too.

No defense? I didn't get that at all. There were a lot of guys that played poor defense, but I doubt it was because they weren't trying or because they were treating it like an all star game. The majority of these guys are trying to grab a vet min contract from an NBA team and this is their best opportunity to showcase their game.

 

And I guess we always knew Teague could break down his man, but I was just more impressed with what he was doing after he did that. Got a lot of good chances for his teammates (whoR usually failed to finish) and didn't turn the ball over.

 

Teague is going to have to play this year. Kirk won't stay healthy and Derrick isn't playing 48 minutes a night.

Giving in to public pressure and coming back 5 months before he wanted. Damn it.

The Raptors are expected to buy out newcomer C Marcus Camby on the final 2 years of contract soon, a source told Y! LAC, CHI, HOU interested

 

On a related note, I was going to make a comment about already having a 40 year old center when i looked up Nazr's age...dude is only 35?! He's less than a year older than Kobe
