Warriors & Ellenson Agree to 5 Year Contract
Warriors Sign Ellenson to $55 Million Deal
Oakland, CA - The first domino for the Golden State Warriors fell just moments ago as reports leaked that Ellenson agreed to a new contract with the Warriors. The deal is for 5 years and $55 million dollars, with a base salary of $10,000,000 in year one. Additionally, the fifth year of the contract includes a team option.
Ellenson, 24, is a 6'11 and 205 lb forward that has found a home in Golden State after spending his earlier seasons in Portland. He was the key piece to the trade that saw Kevin Durant end up in Portland and the Warriors made it known they planned on having him return. In 63 starts for the Warriors last season, Ellenson averaged 15.6 ppg and 7.6 rpg while shooting 52% from the field and 43% from 3 pt range. He quickly caught the eye of new GM cb4raptorscb4 after moving to small forward for 7 games after the new GM took the reigns. In those 7 games, Ellenson averaged 22 points and 9 rebounds per game, but did play 38 minutes a night.
With the rule changes coming into effect next season, Ellenson provides the Warriors with a versatile big man that can play both forward positions. Despite being young, he is now considered one of the veterans on an extremely young Warriors roster.

Good job in getting Ellenson, one of the foundation players, back!
Interesting to see how this young roster will look after FA.

He looks like a really nice fit in the new engine. Great signing at a reasonable sum.

Easy decision on your part and you got him for less than a max which seems the going rate for any free agent under the age of 30.

Re: Warriors & Ellenson Agree to 5 Year Contract
Make him a SF and he will be a stud. Perfect fit next to dozier also. I really like him tbh and wanted to trade for him as our starting SF some point. Chris and I haven’t been a good match for trading though lol.

Yeah, I think this was a good signing and you paid him pretty well but it wasn't the max which is good. I think he's going to do even better in the new engine.

Re: Warriors & Ellenson Agree to 5 Year Contract
Yeah, it was a no brainer for us. It's kinda tough coming up with a contract offer when you can't see their demands or what market value should be. No one else made an offer for him so I guess we could have signed him for even less.

Re: Warriors & Ellenson Agree to 5 Year Contract
Yeah, good signing here. I always thought of him as a big in a small forwards body but his passing at forward always scared me a little so maybe in the new engine, it's stretch 4 time.
