Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard Monta Ellis plans to opt out of the final year of his deal this offseason.
The 27-year-old Ellis is set to make $11 million next year if he plays out his current contract, but it makes perfect sense for him to cut ties with the Bucks ASAP, especially given the tenuous situation between the team and point guard Brandon Jennings. Milwaukee can afford to sign both players to long-term deals, and the smart money says that Ellis would be the odd man out once the smoke clears next summer.
Despite shooting less than 42 percent from the field this season, Ellis is still one of the league's better scorers (19.2 PPG—11th in the league), so he should have little trouble finding a place to land once he officially cuts ties with the Bucks.
