1. He's not worth $11M a year and certainly not $66M over 6 years.
2. He's a liar and showed very little character even when he admitted it. Many still doubt that it was a "moped" accident and was probably a motorcycle accident instead.
3. After all that lying, he still complained about the Warriors taking some of his money away. He breached his contract and is lucky his contract didn't get voided. Show some appreciation!
4. His Attitude. I'm tired of watching him dribble the ball up and shooting the ball then claiming that he has been playing point guard or to "look at the tape". He's not a good ball handler or passer by NBA point guard standards. And for those of you who really thinks he's been playing point guard, just look at the numbers. 19 points, 3.5 assists and 2.5 turnovers? Thats not good for a point guard in this league.
5. Not a team player. Even more selfish than Allen Iverson. Not the brightest guy on the court either. He doesn't get into team huddles and doesn't even high-five guys on the court for stealing his thunder.
6. Not a durable player. As much as people grilled Baron Davis and saying that his durability was questioned, Ellis has yet to play a full season yet either. He missed 33 games in his rookie season because of a dislocated shoulder and will miss 57 games this season. Thats an average of 58 games in his first 4 seasons.
7. Horrible defender. I remember last year when he was the 2 guard and watched Kevin Martin just abused him off the dribble. A guy 6'7 shouldn't get around a guy that is 6'3 and "lightning quick" that easily.
8. One dimensional player. All he's good for is scoring. This team has enough scorers and still managed to average 106 ppg without him. This team needs a leader, a distributor and defender. He isn't any of those.

these are the ones that stood out the most to me
1.his first season he played 49 games which is still good for a rookie drafted in the 2nd round
year 2 played 77 games thats really good
year 3 81 games so only missed one game
year 4 well much more recently the moped accident
so the first year iam not really count against him he sat on the bench cuz he was a rookie so if you take that out those 2 years in a row of playing 75 plus games is great just this year he had a freak accident
2.i cant defend him on this horrible defender did you see how beno udrih just ran the full length of the court and did a layup all in montas face
0:23 - Right off the bat, you see Mo Williams goes back door on Ellis and you can see Ellis doesn't even try to recover.
0:40 - He could of gotten inside on Lebron James to try and battle for a rebound, but he chose to watch the play go down like a movie. Ellis was the second person back and was right in front of the play, but Morrow had to come back and commit the foul as the fourth person back.
2:49 - On a turnover, Monta Ellis just jogged back and let Lebron James get to the lane. Showed no effort on getting back on D
Final Play - Ellis was 3 feet away from James who had Turiaf on a switch. With 3 seconds left, Monta just stood there watching. He should be smart enough to figure out that it was a mismatch and this is Lebron James. With 2 seconds, he should of just double-teamed him since Mo Williams wasn't anywhere near the hoop and even if James passed it up, there wouldn't have been enough time for Mo to even get up a shot.
Don Nelson. He is not a player but yeah Don Nelson. Ok I don't hate I just don't want him to be the warriors coach. You can play no run an gun with a name like that !!!
