Andre Miller could be traded to Orlando or Denver
According to reports, Andre Miller could be moved from the Portland Trail Blazers.
If sent to the Denver Nuggets, Miller and the 21st pick in the draft would be traded for Raymond Felton and the 22nd pick, according to David Aldridge on NBA.com.
If Miller was sent to the Orlando Magic, he’d go to Florida with the 21st pick in exchange for Jameer Nelson, according to the Orlando Senitel. However, the Senitel also say that the deal is being “overblown”.
There is also feeling out there that if the Magic did get Andre Miller, they would then trade him to the Atlanta Hawks for Josh Smith, as Miller can be cut before June 29 as his $7.8 million salary is unguaranteed, meaning the Hawks could save money.

Monta Ellis’ agent has told the Golden State Warriors that his client wants to be traded, according to the New York Post.
It’s thought that the Warriors were not going to move Ellis - even though they had some good offers for him - but now that the trade request has been sent, they may listen to attractive offers.
New Warriors coach Mark Jackson has stated that he thinks Ellis is the 3rd best shooting guard in the league and he’d like to retain his services; this one may be out of his hands, though.
