Monta Ellis on the move again?

One of these days Ellis is going to wind up on the right team and become the ultimate microwave guy off the bench. Same goes for Tyreke Evans. The really ought to just accept their fates as the next iterations of Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry.

Imagine either of those guys on Indiana or Chicago or Memphis or Boston or Utah or Atlanta I guess, LOL!

Rotoworld:

Monta Ellis - G - Bucks
Sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard that Monta Ellis is not part of a potential trade for Josh Smith.
It's going to be tough for the Bucks to swing with Ellis included, let alone without him. There is conflicting information with less than five hours until Thursday's deadline, and we'll have to see how things shake out.
Related: Hawks, Josh Smith

I laughed when watching his interview earlier this year when Monta referred to himself in 3rd person as he compared himself to Wade. He would make an amazing 6th man. Tyreke needs to find his game again.

What I've read on HoopsHype is that the Hawks really want to move Smith to the Western Conference. I assume the goal is to remain competitive but not have to face him in the playoffs.

Now Phoenix is the apparent front-runner. One thing is for sure, Smith is going somewhere today.

PLEASE NOT THE SPURS... PLEASE NOT THE SPURS... PLEASE NOT THE SPURS...

I feel like the NBA is the craziest league in professional sports with regards to trades. There should be an NBA Tradecentre instead of NHL.

Definitely the best league for trades because rosters are so small relative to any other league the impact of a trade can have huge ramifications. There's also the star-driven nature of the league that is constantly pushing talented players to try and congregate in large media markets. I don't know that there is necessarily more trading in the NBA than in MLB or the NHL (definitely more than the NFL) but the trades often have more impact. Don't sleep on the fact that NBA realizes that movement is good and have several designs even with a salary cap in place that gives teams the flexibility to make big moves.

It is. Especially after Lebron walked for nothing. The luxury tax makes minor deals likely so teams can avoid the steep tax, while no team wants to let an impending FA star walk for free. Makes for a ton of chatter. Hopefully some great movement too...

Celtics taking another run at Tyreke Evans. Can't imagine how they'd get him but he could really turn into something on the right team.

Heard rumours Celtics are shopping Rondo. Any truth to them?

Not very likely.
