OKC is going to be pretty good in 3-4 years with Durant, Westbrook and Green + the draft picks they have in this years draft (can't remember if its 3 or 4 1st rounders). I think they should have kept Chandler cause thats pretty much whats their missing, someone to block shots and rebound.

And damn Belineli got westbrooks nuts in his face.

Monta Ellis sidelined 1-2 weeks by stiff ankle
Filed under: News; Tagged as: Monta Ellis

The Warriors maintained throughout Monta Ellis’ rehabilitation from surgery to repair torn ankle tendons that they wanted to be sure he was fully healthy whenever he did return. That’s what made the push-pull dynamic between the guard — who wanted to play weeks before his actual return on Jan. 23 — so compelling to watch.

And that what makes today’s announcement — that Ellis will miss at least a week, and maybe more, due to stiffness in the surgically repaired joint — so interesting.

I’ve seen Ellis on a couple of occasions at practice this season in very focused consultations with athletic trainer Tom Abdenour, but he always went back on the floor after those talks, so it never seemed particularly serious. Clearly, things have gotten bad enough to require some time off after just short of a month’s worth of active duty.

It’s not clear what this does to the dormant-but-not-dead debate over whether the team still retains the right to void the remainder of Ellis’ six-year, $66 million deal — other than revive the discussions.

Here’s the full text of the Warriors’ release:

Guard Monta Ellis, who has experienced occasional stiffness in his left ankle since returning to action on January 23, including during last night’s game against Oklahoma City, will be sidelined the next 1-2 weeks. During this time, the 6’3” guard will continue advanced rehabilitation on a daily basis with the Warriors’ Athletic Training Staff.
