Monta Ellis was the subject of trade speculation before the offseason began, but it appears as though he will remain with the Warriors for at least the beginning of the 10-11 season.

"I think that was a rumor," said Ellis. "The deal was with the (Golden State) players who got traded. I don't think it ever was with me.

"I'm happy where I am ... It's like when I talked to (Stephen Curry) this summer. The only thing we can do now is play basketball. I thought we did a great job last season, but we didn't get the wins. They (Warriors management) got us a lot of new pieces (including All-Star forward David Lee from the New York Knicks). Hopefully, we can stick them together and plug up the holes (that) we've been missing."
