Monta Ellis, on his departure from the Warriors in 2012: "It was similar to Luka Dončić's"

In 2012, Monta Ellis was traded from Golden State Warriors after 7 years with the team. The player was sent to Milwaukee Bucks along with his teammates Kwame Brown and Ekpe Udoh in exchange for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson.

Recently, Ellis has compared the "betrayal" he experienced with the Warriors in the NBA to that of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The Slovenian was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers due to lack of form, in exchange for Anthony Davis.

"They took a chance on me, and that's why I love Golden State, you know? They gave me my shot. It's the way it went down that really hurt me or affected me. And it's similar to what happened to Luka Doncic," Ellis began by stating in remarks collected by HoopsHype.

"That's the business side you don't know anything about unless you're in it or unless someone close to you has been a victim. I had my good days and my bad days. But I had more good days than bad. And I will always give them their flowers, their respect, and everything they've done for me and my family. So now, Golden State will always be in my heart," he concluded.
