Yes.  I don't know what Pitino or anyone else could have said to talk up
Ellison to any significant value.  Trades aren't made just based on what
the player's club has to say about him.  Ellison is a known quantity, and
with his injury history, others are going to take a wait-and-see attitude
with him.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him out, but it would be for
someone young and cheap, with a short contract.  How much longer does
Ellison have on his contract?
