Marcus Thornton is the Real Reason Kings Shouldn’t Sign Monta
Ellis  While today’s news that Chris Hansen voluntarily raised
his bid to buy the Kings again was slightly disconcerting, I am
going to do exactly what the NBA did last time Hansen upped his
bid and ignore it. Hansen and company are once again showing
that their answer to any problem is to throw more money at it,
and frankly, if it hasn’t worked so far, we have no reason to
assume that it will suddenly make a difference. I’d like to
focus on yesterday’s rumor that the Kings new ownership could be
interested in Monta Ellis, if they are unable to retain Tyreke
Evans.  First of all, isn’t it wonderful that the potential new
owners would even look into a free agent capable of commanding
and eight-figure salary? We’ve spent years trying to get excited
about signing players like Chuck Hayes and Aaron Brooks. It’s
exciting that someone like Ellis would even be on our radar.
Having said that, few are convinced that Ellis would be a good
fit in Sacramento.
