The trade includes Ellis, forward Ekpe Udot and center Kwame Brown for Bucks center Andrew Bogut and guard Stephen Jackson. Bogut was drafted in 2005 No. 1 overall and Stephen Jackson is one of the league’s better players. Jackson is said to have had issues with coach Scott Skiles, according to Sekou Smith of NBA.com. Ellis is one of the top scorers in the NBA and this should only be the beginning of crazy rumors and trade talks over the next couple of days. Check out more on the story here!
