Speaking of veterans. I wish these three veteran players could just find their new home.

As teams are looking to finalize their rosters ahead of training camp, a trio of NBA veterans -- Isaiah Thomas, Lance Stephenson and Monta Ellis-- worked out for the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Charania reported that Thomas, specifically, appeared in great shape.

I didn't know Monta Ellis is just 35 years old. He was a great offensive player before at Warriors and we didn't see him after 2016. Looking forward to see them again play in NBA.

I missed Monta Ellis, where this guy has been?
He last played with Indiana Pacers last 2016-2017 season and no contract after that.

I am a big fan of him, especially during his time with the Warriors, so I'm really glad if the Mavericks will sign him.

He was plague with injuries if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, he was a scoring machine, won the MIP award. But with the arrival of Steph Curry and then eventually Klay Thompson, perhaps GSW decided that they will center their franchise to these two young players and decided to ship out Ellis although he has like averaging 25 ppg for the Warriors that time.

Yeah, he is 35 years old, and we as fans always look for players that can still play in the league although they have age already, so hopefully he can be given another chance by the Dallas Mavericks.
