players, but you have to wonder what some of
their parents were thinking when they named them. Here's my countdown of the NBA's worst named players: 10. Martell Webster- Just imagine if you had that name growing up, and then imagine how many friends you'd have. 9. Monta Ellis- Half monster, half mantis. 8. Darko Millicic- ...

Williams from the New Jersey Nets for a conditional first round pick. Williams who was drafted by New Jersey in the 2006 NBA Draft is expected to be the backup to Monta Ellis. Ellis will be elevated to starting point, after the Warriors lost free agent Baron Davis to the ...
The Warriors have been busy recently with the
Summer League victories that they’ve been piling up, but
in the midst of all of the ‘basketball’ stuff, they were able to pull off a trade that will help keep Monta Ellis playing at the two-spot. Williams, a point guard out of UCONN, was drafted in the first round at pick 22 in the 2006 NBA Draft. This is a great pickup by the Warriors, and if they ...

I don’t know who I even thought I
was kidding yesterday when I mentioned Corey Maggette taking
less money to play with a contender. Who did I think he was? Gilbert Arenas? But with the dust settling, it looks like Maggette will suit up this season in Oakland where he will be running along side Monta Ellis, Captain Jack and the rest of the Warriors. Baron ...
We are deep into the Sixers off-season, and
thus far most of the conversation has been about
the Elton Brand signing , the Andre Iguodala contract situation and the 76ers summer league squad . So it got me thinking, what about Louis Williams ? There hasn’t been much talk about the fans’ feelings regarding his future with the team and his contract situation. Williams hasn’t ...
The cupboard is bare. The only guys left
are restricted free agents (Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Andre
Igoudala, Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins, Nenad Krstic), guys with baggage (Ricky Davis, Kwame Brown, Shaun Livingston), or equally unintriguing role players who haven’t got snatched up for a reason. For Cavs fans, their hopes and focus are solely on James Posey.
Doing work for tomorrow’s column, just got off
the phone with Don Nelson–one Warriors’ official who is
talking–and got his quick takes on adding Corey Maggette, possibly adding Ronny Turiaf, and moving Monta Ellis to point ...
After losing Baron Davis and losing out on
Elton Brand , most pundits have quickly assumed the
Warriors would stay true to their lottery roots for the immediate future. Chris Mullin insists he'll be able to keep restricted free agents Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins , and the likelihood of the Lakers matching Ronny Turiaf 's offer sheet looks smaller and smaller each day. Corey Maggette is in ...
NBA fans, welcome to the zero-sum new signings,
and the same ole NBA. If you are a
Clippers or Warriors fan, then you will get to experience more jaw-dropping highlights and more losing, while if you're a Sixers fan, you will be guaranteed to get another year of Philly's mostly consistent playoff tradition that started in 1999.

Ellis while he claims to have an interest in
playing for the Knicks. Unfortunately for those teams Ellis wants $10 million per year and none of those teams have any cap space to be able to sign him outright. ...
While the Knicks continue to wait for Chris
Duhon to accept or reject their offer, another interesting
scenario is beginning to surface involving Monta Ellis, the dynamic young guard for the Golden State Warriors.
There are going to be a lot of
people taking another look at the Clippers today, but
what future do the Warriors have in light of Baron's departure?
Where to begin? Of all the things I
thought might happen to the Warriors this summer —
and that’s a mighty lengthy list — Baron Davis passing on $17.8 million is not one of them. Of course, that’s because Baron was telling everyone ...
Tim Kawakami explains why the Warriors should use
their $9.9 million trade exception, which expires Monday night,
to acquire point guard Javaris Crittenton from Memphis. Baron Davis won't run with the Dubs forever, and Golden State needs a point guard with size to compensate for Monta Ellis' poor defense.
