You hear they want Redick and Ellis back but there was a report about Ellis and Sacramento and another report that Redick has "probably" played his last game as Buck. So they'll probably be stuck with the guy they don't want in Jennings, or they let all three guys walk, ha.

Good for him. No offense to the city of Milwaukee, and no love for Monta Ellis, but that team must be pure purgatory.
Sources say the Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers are three teams that have interest in Ellis, though the Lakers could only get Ellis via an unlikely sign-and-trade deal. Ellis, who originally signed a six-year, $66 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, is close with Lakers free agent Dwight Howard. The two have long desired to play together. If Howard cannot acheive his top goal of playing with Chris Paul, teaming with Ellis may become an option he will strongly consider.
Monta Ellis is stupid, he isnt going to make $11 mill anywhere. Sacremento would be dumb to sign him for $11+mil
Um, er, if we acquire Howard through sign-and-trade of, say, Lin and Asik (or Trob or Anyone Not Named Harden or Parsons)---big if; I know we certainly don't want to lose Asik---you don't think Morey would look to sign Ellis? Ellis is sort-of the anti-Moreyball but would fit the speedy no-fear scorer type that the Rox seem to covet. I'm not advocating it. Obviously it would be in case we lost Lin to trade, 'cause we won't get CP3.

Ok. Maybe the short list would be who Dwight Howard wouldn't consider teaming with. This is getting ridiculous.
