Monta Ellis revealed he was unhappy playing with the Milwaukee Bucks and during free agency he chose to go with the Dallas Mavericks. Apparently he thinks there’s less required of him on this team. Read more after the jump.
In the case of Monta Ellis, perhaps timing will be everything. Is it a sign that Dallas is where Ellis belonged all along? Or merely a coincidence? Having family close can certainly help bring a measure of comfort and happiness. And happiness is something Ellis says he’s been missing the last couple years and, he says, it’s shown in his sliding shooting percentages. … “I don’t really have to shoot the ball as much on this team,” Ellis said. “The previous team I been on, like I said once before, I had to do 60 percent of the work no matter what the situation is. I think with this team here, I don’t have to do as much or take as many shots because sometimes they’re going to stop me and Dirk is going to be open, Jose [Calderon], Devin [Harris], the list goes on.”
