    My understanding is that Jabari is threatening to take Ellington's role. Jabari might be better than Wayne actually, but Wayne plays like such a seasoned vet. I'd love to have him back, but I'm already assuming we won't get him back.

    Are we still planning on re-signing this guy? Right now I think we only have 4 guards (Lou, D'Angelo, Jordan, and Jabari... with Kobe moving to SF).

    I'm sure he's on our radar, but I'm not sure we offer him much. In fact I think all we have left right now is the minimum and I'm sure he can get better offers elsewhere.

    Best of luck in Brooklyn.

    I thought he could've gotten more than that.

    Thought he would have gotten more. Oh well, sucks to see hi go but honestly don't see where he would fit on our team. Best of luck Duke.

    They just lost Alan Anderson. This singing makes sense for them; very reasonable, too.

    I like Jabari but I would have preferred a guy with more experience as our backup SG.

    Ellington is a class act. Here's to a fulfilling season for him and that he does well...just not against us.

    He came onto training camp last year, made the team, and had the chance to audition for a year; he parlayed that into a $1.5 million dollar contract. Good for him.

    Nice guy, wish him good luck.

    We wouldn't have enough playing time for him anyway with all the guards on the roster.
