Ellington was hired last season to put some footage on the New York roster. Instead, he barely entered the pitch and failed to carve out much of a role. Statistics-wise, Ellington has had his worst season since 2013-14, so he’s likely excited to start over elsewhere.
The Pistons pretended to be the Knicks by signing a group of great men, but they also captured Ellington, reportedly for a year and $ 2.6 million. He will have the chance to play with authentic NBA legends such as Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose.
