Everyone is panicking and overreacting because of some comments made by players Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson. The team, though, has a lot of depth and a lot of young talent. Talent-wise, this team could contend for the playoffs. It needs to stay healthy and players need to stop with the “trade me” comments.

I think Jackson is stupid, but I just don’t know about Ellis. He says he can’t play with Curry in the backcourt and, you know, he’s right. That wouldn’t really be smart. Who’s going to defend? That’s why you need Jackson, Morrow or Azubuike in the backcourt with Ellis or Curry.

He was a borderline All-Star that season. He’s not even that anymore unless he regains his quickness which remains to be seen. Had he not played with Baron Davis, I wonder what kind of numbers he puts up. Either way, I’m not a Monta fan.

And I probably hate the Dubs more than the Lakers. (I know, weird. I’m weird.)

I said he was overrated

And a Borderline All-Star. Vince Carter has been overrated for most of his career as has Jason Kidd. (Is he a borderline All-Star?) Most people have Kidd pegged as a top 5 Hall of Fame PG by any measure.

I think he’s always been overrated even back to his playing days at Cal. Entitlement to disagreement is fine, but I really don’t want to hash out my disagreement over Monta. There are many more things I need to do than argue how a 6’1 guard whose game was predicated on speed and playing off the ball now has handle to PG duties that he never had to handle before last season. Oh, and the moped incident shows how stupid Monta is because he was reckless for no reason after signing that major contract.

Do I think he’s overrated? Yes. Why? He can’t shoot from deep. He isn’t a defender by any stretch of the imagination. You have to play a big ball handler with him or else he won’t likely be as effective. And, now he’s arguing that Don Nelson can’t play him with Stephen Curry?

Yeah, you can have Monta as long as you want him Rated R.
