    For example the Bulls Had 2 SuperStars/ 1 fringe Star on both Dynasty Runs. Today the top teams have 2 SuperStars (Heat Wade/Bosh) Lakers (Kobe,Gasol) Celtics(KG or Rondo/Pierce). These are teams that have $ where they can make this type of deals. Small market teams Have to draft well and produce Stars. So who has One SuperStar that teams should build around? Here’s my SS to build around. Others that could be built around Bulls 1 SS/Magic 1SS/Jazz DWill

    1. The SS i would be around is Monta Ellis. How, first i would trade Curry for defensive wing or upside big man, then draft the best player availble.

    Now Lineup M.Ellis/D.Wright (SG or Defensive minded SG think T.Selfolsa)/ SF. G.Wallace PF D.Lee/C. Adrian Bietrus/E.Uoph. One baller off the bench that could get you points & play multiple positions/One rugged big man off the bench. & some rotation guy’s Thats an 8-9 man rotation that could get you to the playoffs.

    1SS in Monta/1 Star in G.Wallace/1Fringe Star in D.Lee, remember he hurt his elbow during summer workouts, so maybe we are not seeing his best now.

    Traded Curry for G.Wallace & 1st rnd lottery pick. or since the bulls have bobcats 1st in 12, maybe the can swap picks this year or work out something for future 1st rounders. Remimber Bobcats do not like rookies. they traded BWright for JRich a couple years ago.

    I don’t think the Warriors would be dumb enough to trade Curry for Wallace and the lottery pick.  Curry is going to be a much better player than Wallace.  And I agree, Monta Ellis is not a superstar.  He’s a star, but not a superstar.

    So MEllis is 25 primetime is from 25/26-31/32 that gives me 5-6 optimum years of 25+ ppg. With great position Defense, 2-3 steals a game, 5ast/ 46% from the field/36% from 3 point line maybe an inside presence can help get him more open looks/ Is almost unstoppable on the break, gets to the line 5x game so he puts pressure on defenses. If he is not a SuperStar now what is it about his game that would deter that from happening? I’ll put up the flaws(red flags) turnover prone 3.3 game (so what he’s a playmaker, DWade had 7 or 8 turnovers yesterday). Injury prone, (So what just give him less minutes, keep him fresh for the playoffs) Regardless I don’t see anything besides his defense that would stop him from being a SS

    CBarkley Missed Playoffs 85/86

    RAllen 33-49 first year

    Bron 1st year 35-47/ 2nd year 42-40

    So all things considered give this guy a chance. My only omission is Undervaluing S.Curry. However, the Owner came out in public & said that MEllis is His franchise "Core guy". So to me that puts him higher on the list than SCurry.

    Ellis has been in the league for like 6 years and has never made the playoffs, in 07 he was hurt. He isnt a star. He doesnt guard anybody, he doesnt win games. He isnt a superstar.

    And they werent considered Super stars then either unless they made the playoffs before then. Just stars…And super stars at least make the allstar team..Ellis is not a super star. And Ellis isn’t a franchise guy you build around either. They have tried that for years. It doesn’t work because he’s not a franchise guy

    You gotta have a better arguement then that. Ray Allen wasn’t considered a superstar either in his rookie year. And in year 2 barkley wasn’t considered a superstar either. If you arent a Superstar in Year 6 then you are never gonna be a superstar

    In theory, Golden State has 3 "All Stars" in Ellis, Curry, and Lee. Shows you how valuable they really are. This team stinks.

    ^^^^^^^I lost this one, guess i just like underdogs. MEllis drafted in 2nd rnd 40th pick. To be able to come into the L and put up 25ppg is impressive from any standard but to be a 2nd rnd after thought is even better. So emotions got the best of me & i misjudged based on how much i like his game. But i still like him as the CenterPiece of My franchise.

    I mean in terms of statistical production. He is an "all star calibur player" in the eyes of people who love stats on bad teams. But clearly, he isnt an all star in reality.

    It must be hard as hell trying to post on an American forum lol.  I like the idea behind your post thou and I would love to see Monta find his way into the playoffs in the next few years just to see what he really has.

    Now that i think about Ellis could have ateam built around him if you are trying to make a playoff team that could possibly get to the conference champinon ship but no futher. I say this because whats the difference between Ellis and Agent Zero when he was at the top of his game?..I think Ellis is capable of getting to that level

    Wallace is not a star, Monta Ellis is not a superstar nd David Lee isn’t a fringe star, sorry man gotta use better examples if you want people to actually talk about what your idea is.

    Agent 0 was a monster acouple of those years, but he was on solid teams, and Ellis could evolve into that type of guy.
