Fair trade?: Childress to GS for Monta Ellis

I'd be willing to exchange Childress/11 for Pietrus/Ellis.

Well thank goodness you aren't the GM.

That would be an incredibly stupid deal for the Hawks.

The Warriors could get two better players in Childress and the Best available PG at the 11th spot.

He is not a true PG but with JJ in the backcourt he wouldn't have to be. I think he could be a 20/6 guy as starter for us next year and better than that down the road. I can't see any PG in this draft being better than Ellis in the next two years and Crittendon is the only one I could see being better down the road.

I agree that Chillz is better than Pietrus but Pietrus is a solid player who can shoot the 3. I don't know if I would do the proposed deal but it is certainly not "stupid."

[Diesel]

Actually,

GS would not do it.

I'm not saying that they value Ellis because I think they plan to move him.

From what I have heard, Nellie Loves Pietrus... I don't understand it.. What does this guy do?

Maybe he speaks French and calms everybody.

...and I agree with the assessment of Monta Ellis being LIKELY better as a player (and for the Hawks) than any Pg in the draft. I do like Crittenton alot however.

You don't get someting for nuttin'. We would have a ready-made starter in Monta to pair with JJ. An offensive jugernaut backcourt.

I wouldn't slam Chills too hard for being injury prone compared to Pietrus.

Here are the games they have played in their careers:

Pietrus

53

67

52

72

Chills

80

74

55

Obviously, Chills has the better track record as far as games played.

...For one of those years. I can't find a worse injury for him. That's better than 3 foot fractures. Over time that builds up. You can't keep breaking feet or even having the same injury time after time and it not affect you.

Point taken however. I didn't realize Pietrus was out 30 games for two of his 4 seasons.

I worry about that with Chills as well. Hopefully, he will have a more consistent workload next season and get better monitoring from the medical staff to prevent a reinjury.
