MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks have traded Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson to the Golden State Warriors for a three-player package headed by high-scoring guard Monta Ellis.

The Bucks also receive forward Ekpe Udoh and center Kwame Brown in the deal announced late Tuesday night. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the deal on its website.

The trade represents a parting of ways between the Bucks and Bogut, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft who has struggled with injuries. It also allows the Bucks to rid themselves of Jackson, who had fallen out of favor with coach Scott Skiles and now gets to rejoin his former team.
