Ellis Gets Six Year Deal From Golden State

Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Free Agents 

Monta Ellis was the biggest bargain in the NBA last season. Ellis who just completed his third year in the Association was a second round pick by the Golden State Warriors in the 2005 NBA Draft.? The guard who was taken with the 40th selection last season made just $770,610 while averaging 20.2 points per game in 81 contests. The days of Ellis being a bargain came to an end on Thursday as the “Associated Press” reported that the Warriors signed Ellis to a six year deal reported to be worth $67 million. Ellis who was a restricted free agent is expected to become the team’s starting point guard with Baron Davis now signed with the L.A. Clippers. Golden State Vice President and head of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin is very excited to have this deal completed. Mullin told reporters “We are absolutely thrilled to have Monta under contract for the next several years. He has been one of the top young players in the NBA for the last two years and enjoyed a tremendous season last year. The growth that he has demonstrated at such a young age is incredible and we look forward to him playing a big part in our future success.”
