GSW was still basking in the glow of Nellie ball. That back court if Ellis played the 2 usually lost the game defensively. If the Lakers needed points, Kobe would go low block every time. I think on a consistent winner, Ellis plays the role of Terry, so you need that big guard to go alongside Ellis to compete. I think this is the first step of many to mold the Warriors into Mark Jackson's type of team, Bogut is a top defender in this league, he moves well, solid base, blocks shots. GSW is trying to move Jackson, thus no official announcement yet. As for Milwaukee, small backcourrt, it'll drive skiles crazy defensively. It's a move for now, take advantage of a Knick slide.
