I'm friends with a lot of Warriors fans (unfortunately lol), only 1 out of like 10 are in favor of this trade, and pretty much all of them are heartbroken to see Ellis go. I think it's a solid trade for them. They needed to pick between Curry/Ellis, and badly needed a defensive center. Also, if they can tank some more this season (with Bogut and Curry missing time, it's very possible) they will get their top 7 protected lottery pick back from the Jazz.
