I think I'd go for Ellis here.
I am at the point where my IR is emptying out and I need to make a drop. I am 4.26 over the salary cap, the question is who to drop? My first thought was Ellis, who is 30 and often injured. But now I am not so sure. I know I can drop Golyshev, but he is only worth 0.925, so not much savings there. I can combine Golyshev and Pesce, but Pesce is outscoring Ellis on a point per game and is a lot younger than Ellis at 26.
Who would you drop?

If Pesce is out scoring Ellis then gotta go with Ellis.
Funny, I was in a similar situation earlier this year. I parted company with Ellis.
