Ellis is the captain and he talks like this? Sounds like a bonehead. I hope Curry does not get poisoned playing over in GS. Nellie is screwing up another city! Again!

If I was Nelson, there is no way I would make Ellis a captain at this point, unless it has already happened.

He didn't even throw out the obligatory "I'll do what's good for the team" cliche. Sounds like it's all ego with him.

He sounds like a loser to me, no matter how talented he is.

The whole Ellis interview:

http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2009/09/28/monta-ellis-on-pairing-with-stephen-curry-we-cant-not-going-to-win-that-way/

Ellis might be right about playing with Curry--they'll probably loose more games and, nope, Curry's not going to be Baron Davis--but Ellis might have other problems with the team, like, say, Nelson. Parts of that interview are whack, esp. if Ellis is da franchise playa.

Q: When Riley and Nelson visited you, did they tell you they wouldn’t draft a guard similar to you?

ELLIS: I don’t remember.

Q: Would you have wanted them to tell you that—or not to draft a similar guard?

ELLIS: To be honest with you, I don’t feel like my job is in jeopardy at all. I don’t feel that my position, my minutes, nothing are going to be taken. Because at the end of the day, I’m still going to be Monta Ellis. I’m still going to be the franchise player. And I’m still going to go out there and give you 20 points a night. I’m not worrying about that. I’m not.

***

Q: Nelson said he was making you a captain. Did he tell you that and what do you think of it?

ELLIS: (Chuckles) I don’t even know. What’s different in being a captain?

Q: I don’t know.

ELLIS: Exactly. I don’t know. It’s just a title to me.

Q: Have you talked to Nelson about your feelings on playing with Curry?

ELLIS: I don’t know what to expect. Just going into training camp positive.

Like I said.. in the last year, year and a half, this guy has seriously turned from a great find into Stephon Marbury Jr. What an *******, he's not even that good.

ellis thinks he's a franchise player lololololololol lololololololol lololololololol that interview reminded me of the knicks when we used to inflate the egos of players who werent that good but its was the best (retarded managment) could get. ellis may be a franchise player on the warriors but he's just a pippen any place else. no disrespect to pippen. can you imagine him being traded to the cav's and in his delusional mind he's like *me and lebron uh-uh not gonna work, im the franchise player* lololololololol.

I love how all this is going down ON MEDIA DAY.

Once again, it's nice that it's not us for once.

Watch: If Derek Jeter were to say "There's not a difference. Being Yankee captain is just a title", the NY fans would destroy him.

That bothers me A LOT more than him thinking he's a franchise player. I wonder how he'd react if Don Nelson held it off for a year and gave it to Stephen Curry instead.

Don Nelson: Ya know, nevermind, since you don't even need it. I will let Stephen become the captain and have him be the most respected player on the team and the face of the organization. Oh and I'm gonna let him have a few of your shots too since he's the captain and he needs to lead us by example, and not to mention he's 500X the shooter you are.

What a moron.

ellis is not that special enough to dictate anything in essense he's a half court player in that he only plays the offensive half.

Ellis' stature is debatable, but its not like duke is lying here. LOL at a Ellis/Curry defensive backcourt. Them munchkins are gonna get their lunch eaten on a nightly basis.
... and neither of them is a true PG. Ellis is a hybrid scoring guard, and from what I saw of Curry in SL, he seems to feel more comfortable being a SG than running a team from the point.

Unless the Amare/Curry trade rumor was legit, I don't know what Nelson was thinking when he picked Curry.

Ironic that the two teams whose picks dictated our choice at #8, Minny and GS, may have screwed themselves up with their respective decisions.

So it goes.

nelson is a psycho, nothing he does should ever come as a surprise. He loves to do things that fly in the face of common sense so he can try to prove how much smarter he is than anybody else.

You're right though, it seems like Minny and Oakland were obsessed with **** blocking our two top draft targets, Rubio and Curry. They both made picks that made no sense for their teams. It was all about not letting MDA get what he wanted.

I hope GS loses 80 games and Don Nelson is fired. I will never forgive him for taking Curry 7th.

Monta Ellis agrees with you.

Judging by their media day, it looks like the karma gods are starting to do their thing for us right now.

Word. I was at ESPN Zone draft night, and the whole place was booing loudly when that pick was made.
Hope GS sucks ass for a decade for that one.
