Mavericks have agreement in principle with Monta Ellis http://is.gd/H31mPi 达拉斯晨报 Two days after the Mavericks said they didn’t see much chance of adding to their already crowded backcourt, it appears that Monta Ellis is on the verge of signing with them. 两天前小牛说签Ellis的机会不大，但现在他们达成签约的默契了。 The 6-3 Ellis, who played with Milwaukee last season and is a career 19.4-point scorer, is the top remaining name on the free agent board. Two sources said he is going to sign a three-year deal that likely will eat up most, if not all, of the Mavericks’ remaining salary-cap space and be worth roughly $30 million over three years. 6尺3的Ellis生涯平均19.4分，是市场上仅存还叫出名号的人物，消息来源说小牛 将与他签下三年30M的合约，并且用掉剩下的所有薪资空间。 The Mavericks, it appears, are intrigued by the pairing of Ellis and Jose Calderon in the backcourt, and believe that they could form a very complimentary tandem. 小牛似乎对於Calderon-Ellis组合很有兴趣，认为他们会是互补的一组。 It’s becoming clear that the Mavericks are interested in adding all the quality assets they can get their hands on this summer, regardless of the position they play. While centers have rebuffed them, their guard crew now has plenty of names – all of them except Vince Carter new from last season. 愈来愈清楚的迹象显示小牛正在搜刮今夏市场上所有他们能签到的战力，并且无视於 他们是打什麽位置的。当中锋仍是个头痛问题是，他们的後场阵容不断膨胀，除了VC 以外都是新入团的。 The Mavericks already have Jose Calderon, Devin Harris, Wayne Ellington, Gal Mekel, Shane Larkin and Ricky Ledo in the backcourt, as well as Carter, who can split time at shooting guard and small forward. 小牛後场很挤。(译按：Devin Harris的合约已取消) If Ellis comes on board, playing small will be an absolute certainty most of the time. 假如Ellis来了，他会是後场主力。 Ellis, 27, has been a favorite of Dirk Nowitzki’s and the Mavericks have long had an interest in the former Golden State Warrior. 27岁的Ellis在勇士时期曾让Dirk和小牛感兴趣。 On Wednesday, when the Mavericks introduced rookies Larkin, Ledo and Mekel to media members, president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said when asked if more backcourt help might be on the way: “Probably a long shot. We got a pretty full backcourt.” 星期三在介绍新秀的记者会中，小尼说签Ellis机会不大，後场人手充足 (译按：很快就连伤两个 打脸了…) With Ellis, it would get even fuller. And better. Ellis is a career 45.6-percent shooter, although he hits only 31.8 percent from 3-point range. He’s been a good penetrator and can work well off the pick-and-roll. He’s not much of a defender, but his offensive skills make him a dangerous player that defenses have to account for. 小牛有了Ellis，後场人手就更足，也更好了，Ellis生涯命中率45.6%，虽然3分只有32% 他是好的切入者，也可以打挡拆，他不是好的防守者，但他进攻的威胁性可以让人比较 不那麽批评他的防守。 --
