Monta Ellis has played well since joining the Mavericks on a discounted three-year deal two seasons ago. He’s done a good job shedding his label as a locker room disruption, the main reason he came on a below value contract, and has flat out produced. In his two seasons with Dallas he was the only player in the league to play at least 160 games, score 3000 points, register 800 assists, and come away with 275 steals.
But he has a player option for 2015-16 and until June 24th to decide whether or not to opt in to the final year of his deal.
