The Pacers Will Pay Ellis More Than The Knicks Will Pay Quickley Next Season
The Indiana Pacers have not had Monta Ellis play for them since the 2016-17 NBA season. Ellis played two seasons in Indiana and was a solid player for them, but they have been paying him not to play for them for the last four years, and next season will be the last year that they have to pay him. David Aldridge's Tweet from 2017 can be seen embedded below explaining what happened when the Pacers waived Ellis.
