The way you wrote it, I thought you were talking about a whole season. But ok. Well, split stats arent fair to use because any player can have horrible split stats. Thanks for the information though. I do agree with majority of what you wrote though. There are some ridiculous deals being handed out. Luke Walton?! Redd?! etc. keep up the good work. John – Oh, split stats.

Check out Monta's split stats from January and February after he came back from his moped injury. That's where I got those numbers. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/splits?playerId=2751&sYear=2009&sType=4 Monta has bounced back pretty well since then and I agree that his contract isn't so bad presently. These posts are just a snapshot in time and at that point Ellis was averaging 13 ppg and looking awfully sluggish after his moped accident. Xai — This post was written in early March of ’09.

For the last 3 years, he's avg. 25, 19, and 20. Where are you getting your stats? Plus, Monta's contract isnt even that bad. Do you watch him play? Monta is one of the best players in the league. And yes, I do watch the NBA. I probably know more than you. Anyways, 5 years for $55 million isnt bad for an explosive and quick guard who can take it to the hole, draw fouls, and put fans in the seats. He clearly justified his contract missing only 18 games, avg. 25ppg, 5ast, and 4reb and playing an avg. of 41min per night! Get real. Monta isnt clearly a MAX guy, but at $11mil/year, that is clearly a good contract for his skills. John – When did Monta Ellis ever avg. 13ppg? For the last 3 years, he’s avg. 25, 19, and 20.
