Spurs Finalize Ely Deal
13th February, 2007 - 4:20 pm
NBA.com -

The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have acquired Melvin Ely from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for Eric Williams and a second round pick in 2009.

Ely, a 6-10 forward/center, is in his fifth NBA season. He has appeared in 24 games for Charlotte this season and is averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.2 minutes a game. Ely enjoyed his finest NBA season last year when he averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 23.6 minutes in 57 games while shooting .508 (216-425) for the Bobcats. For his career Ely has appeared in 254 games for Charlotte and the Los Angeles Clippers , averaging 6.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game. The 28-year old was originally the 12th overall selection in the 2002 NBA Draft.

FANTASTIC deal for the spurs.

This is the deal that new jersey should have made months ago.

Melvin Eli is a good player. Why he has been benched has to do with depth and favorites. With the clipps there was brand, kaman, and Wilcox. Then in Charlotte with ok4, Sean may, and the random stuff going on down there.

Good move.

man, how the Spurs do it? NJN would have been beastly with Ely.

surprising the Spurs would do this trade after picking up Jackie Butler, 5th best center in the league.

Ely's 28?? I thought he was like 22. I guess when you don't play a lot, you appear to be newer to the league.

dudes, this is Melvin Ely... we're not talking about Elton Brand here... very minor trade IMO
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I agree. I think he's a solid player, but definitely not starter quality. He could be a decent role player, though, much like Mikki Moore has been for the Nets.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
