“It’s pretty hot,” the person familiar with the talks said.

The Trail Blazers, Lakers, Hawks, Bulls, and 76ers are among the teams expressing the most sincere interest, league sources said Thursday. A possible deal between Golden State and Philadelphia involving Ellis and Andre Iguodala is a “50-50” proposition at the moment, a person with knowledge of those talks said.

As @KBerg_CBS reports, and I can amplify, Ellis' camp appears to understand that this is going to happen and wants to find the right spot.

Supposedly Ellis wants the Bulls

I don't see GS getting value for Ellis. Ellis could put the Bulls over or he can just as easily be their downfall. Two ball dominant guards, ok Wade and Lebron are doing it, but they BOTH play defense.

What do the Lakers have to offer? They are looking to get athletic so might offer Bynum? Not Gasol.

the lakers would have to trade bynum and get back biedrins who can help if healthy. all of those teams NEED ellis but like someone said, he is a liability defensively. dont know if thibs can deal with that in chi-town. put him on the lakers or trailblazers will be lethal though.
