That could include the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Houston Rockets. As of now, Matthews is reported to be on his way to Indiana. Detroit dealt Reggie Bullock to the Lakers yesterday, a puzzling move for a team that lacked competent wing-depth already. They could regain some of that with Ellington.
