Report: Monta Ellis to decline player option
Monta Ellis - G - Milwaukee Bucks
Feb. 18, 2013 - 8:10 AM ET
According to the Boston Globe, Monta Ellis is "expected to reject" his $11 million player option for next season and become an unrestricted free agent.
If the Bucks keep both Ellis and Brandon Jennings through the deadline, the Bucks are going to be an interesting team to watch in the offseason. Jennings will be a restricted free agent, while Ellis could become an unrestricted free agent. GM John Hammond has stated the Bucks would like to keep the duo together, but that may have just been typical front office lip service. Keep an eye on Milwaukee through Thursday's trade deadline.
