Ellis could come back Friday and I get a warning for posting it in FanPosts!!!

I Posted a FanPost of Yahoo! Sports reporting that Ellis could make his debut on Friday and it gets DELETED AND I GET WARNED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Golden State of Oppression.

Yahoo! Sports:

Jan 15 G G Monta Ellis (ankle) practiced with the team for the first time this season Tuesday and reported no pain or swelling afterward in his surgically repaired left ankle. If all goes well at Thursday's workout, he might make his 2008-09 season debut Friday at home against the Hawks. Ellis underwent surgery on his ankle in August.

WHY THIS COULDN'T BE A FANPOST IS BEYOND ME.

Shawn Marion?

Shawn Marion. We need to make a good trade or two, with one of our four main guards/forwards (because they make the most), to clear cap space, and then try to SIGN THIS GUY IN THE OFFSEASON. That's my opinion anyways.

Marion:
1) clearly hasn't slowed down (he's 30)
2) a great defender
3) plays the 3 or the 4
4) PERFECT fit for nellie ball
5) career averages of 18/10 (from the 3!!!) with 1.9stl and 1.4 blks per
6) MIGHT take less to sign with a run and gun team

If we trade for an expiring contract, this allows us to do several things:
1) slightly tank by trading one of our main players. even though it's a risk and you're never assured a player will sign with your team, but hey, we'd have cap space for 2010!!
2) explore our younger players, unless we trade them
3) along those lines : get a higher draft pick.
4) maybe get a draft pick or younger player via trade
5) keep our coach

So the bottom line is this. If Ellis comes back and we don't start playing better, we need to make a trade. Time together as a core unit doesn't heal this porous of a defense. I'd say get Marion. Many teams are saving up for 2010, or at least have their eye out, and probably won't start worrying about it until NEXT year (cough knicks), meaning many teams won't make offers to this years F/A class. Marion is ripe for the pickins! Hey we could even trade for him this year and sign him to an extension, players seem to like that.

what are your thoughts?
