Earlier today the Warriors were rumored to have Monta Ellis on the table for the Atlanta Hawks' #3 pick. Well unfortunately it looks like the potential deal with the Hawks might have been for their other pick. Here's what Sekou Smith from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution heard:

I have to say things are getting incredibly interesting on the Warriors' front. They don't seem to be content on maintaining the status quo by any stretch. Mullin and Nellie really seem to grasp that the West is only going to get tougher next season, especially if the Lakers somehow luck into a Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett pairing. There's no guarantee that the Warriors will even make it into the playoffs next season in the uber-loaded Western Conference. Mullie's working the phones hard and I'm glad to see that he's ready to make a bold move even if it involves MIP Monta Ellis.

Would you trade Monta Ellis for the Hawks' #11 pick?
