With all the wheeling and dealing going on this offseason, it can be tough to remember where all your favorite and least favorite players will be living in November. Every day something big happens, we'll give you a rundown of the NBA's most recent offseason wheelings and dealings. It's the NBA Circus.
Trying to keep up with the NBA deals that transpired between Friday morning and Monday morning is like trying to catch every ant from an anthill you've just kicked. Still, we're going to kick this anthill to see what runs out of it, because deals keep flying in despite the fact contracts and offer sheets can't be signed until July 11. Let's do this.

DEALS!
The Philadelphia 76ers amnestied Elton Brand, finally coming to the realization everyone else came to when the Sixers signed him in the first place. [Ken Berger]
Kirk Hinrich returns to the Bulls on a 2-year, $6 million deal. Holy hell, that contract actually makes sense! A veteran who can cover at point guard while Derrick Rose recovers from a torn ACL for just $6 million? Nice work. [Chicago Tribune]
Jerryd Bayless is an unrestricted free agent. Cool? [Marc Stein]
Lou Williams is out of Philly, because Philly's trying to be smart or something. [Lou Williams]
Ersan Ilysova re-signs with Bucks, which is a solid move. He's a decent player, I suppose. [ESPN]
The Magic traded Ryan Anderson to Hornets for Gustavo Ayon. Ayon is a 27-year-old center but for some reason is described as “young” in an ESPN report. Anderson, who was the NBA's Most Improved Player last season, is believed to have agreed to a deal worth between $34 million and $36 million over four years. Yikes! [NBA.com]
Jeff Green re-signs with the Celtics, which makes sense because he's just coming off heart surgery, having previously averaged single digits in scoring after the Thunder traded him for Kendrick Perkins. Wait, what? [ESPN]

RUMORS!
Courtney Lee is available, you guys. Very, very available.
Marcus Camby is meeting with the Knicks, but still might go to the Heat. Tough choice, I know.
There's a massive three-team deal between the Cavs, Magic and Nets shaping up that would FINALLY send Dwight Howard to Brooklyn. You know who's holding it up? Kris Humphries. In case you had any doubt about what a dickhead he is.
Ramon Sessions is talking to the Mavs, presumably about how desperate each side is?
Rashard Lewis might sign with the Heat? What about LeBron’s girl?
