While the Suns aren’t going to mess with anything during a 15-game winning streak, they are still monitoring the Melvin Ely situation in Charlotte carefully.

Ely isn’t playing for the Bobcats and would love to join former teammate Jumaine Jones in Phoenix.

But Internet reports that they have an interest in ex-Sun Brevin Knight — who is reportedly on the outs with the Bobcats — don’t hold water. He has another year on his contract at more than $4 million, and the Suns might not be in a hurry to part with Marcus Banks for just a salary dump, given his value as a shutdown defender in the playoffs.

I don't want Banks for Knight.If we trade him we should get either a draft pick or something that will be useful in the future.

Banks isn't a shutdown defender,at best he's above average and he isn't any good at anything so far this year.His contract is awful even though that isn't so big a deal for the Cats.

I would be willing to take about anything for Ely right now,especially if it were a young guard who could give us some depth in the backcourt.

I don't know where all these "Brevin Knight is becoming a cancer" storys are coming from but come on at least try and get equal value for BK if your going to trade him

Yeah I've seen BK act really frustrated at the losing this year(I think he's second in the league in T's),but I've not heard or read anything about the team being unhappy with him.

It's too bad he can't stay healthy because his trade value would be way up if he weren't having so much trouble with his calf and groin.The biggest knock on him before this year was his outside shot and he's done a really good job of hitting midrange jumpers this year.

With the Nets losing Kristic for the rest of the season maybe they show some interest in Ely again
