I DON'T expect Monta here

it really doesn't make sense for them especially if they don't get Dwight Howard.

Andrew Bogut isn't the answer for the Warriors either.

im sure ur right, but gs isn't going anywhere with that curry/ellis combo and everyone knows its time for them to move ellis

People keep saying that, but the facts don't bare it out. The backcourt has not been the Warriors weakness. Hence the pursuit of a center. Bottomline is, barring a FA pickup, that center isn't coming without dealing one of the two.

If you are a Magic fan and you’re dreaming of a MarShon Brooks deal with tons of draft picks, that day has passed. Sources say the best offer from the Nets involved the ending contract of Memhet Okur and Jordan Farmar and a conditional draft pick.

It seems clear the Nets know they can get Howard in July, why give away all of their assets for him now?

MarSwag who? Okur all day son!

GS is not getting a good center without a trade going through Orlando. No one else is interested in helping GS facilitate that. No one is willing to take back salary from GS or Mil (Sjax). We have picks and youth that NOH wants.

Then they take the $10 mil in cap and go that route.

lmao no they wont....

[NW]

lmao no they wont....

Why not? That's what cap room is for. Guys like Kaman, Hawes, McGee, etc. will be on the market. Granted if you can get a better one like Bogut, you do it.

I was just thinking that if we all can't leave RealGM or this thread through Thursday, we will most assuredly break 20 threads. That has to be some RealGM record.

Haven't even done ANYTHING I was going to do today.

Monta will not be traded to Orlando because golden state will not recieve the offer they are looking for.

They'd only be satisfied with MJ.....

Just MJ? He's worth MJ and a second rounder.

I worked 10 hours but am a master of multi-tasking RealGM and a couple other tasks at the same time. I swear that it was 7pm before I even knew it.

The other team would probably have to take Biedrins and Lee back, as well.

That is a reason why GS will stay a middle of the pack team.

[RickB-Orlando]

I bet if Monte got wind of this crap, I am sure he would try to force the Warriors to trade him.

There were some reports earlier - sorry, no link at the moment - that Dwight and Monta were talking earlier today. So Monta has to know, and is likely pissed at GS ownership.

Where would you rather go if you were him, Milwaukee, or Orlando?

Go troll some other boards, Dallas fan.

Again, they're not exactly turning down greatness. Hell, yuou guys probably wouldn't deal Anderson for Kaman, so why should GS be giddy about it?

For the record, just passing it along:

The Warriors might get to give it a go with the current unit. According to team sources, the club is embracing the likelihood that a trade -- especially a major splash -- won't happen by Thursday's deadline.

Golden State, as this newspaper reported, was gearing up to make a play for Milwaukee center Andrew Bogut. But that attempt comes with many hurdles. Not only might Bogut (fractured left ankle) be done for the year. But any deal for him might require bringing back Stephen Jackson, who left the Warriors on bad terms in 2009.

Sources dismissed reports Monday that Golden State is considering trading Ellis in a three-team deal involving Orlando and New Orleans. Golden State still isn't willing to part with Ellis for anything on Orlando other than Dwight Howard. And no one on the Hornets, not even former All-Star center Chris Kaman, makes the Warriors willing to part with Ellis, one source said.

Warriors management might look for a smaller deal to give the team an immediate boost. But one team source said Golden State is OK if it doesn't pull off a trade by the deadline. That way, the Warriors can deal in the offseason, this time without the lockout hindrances from last offseason.

He's content to stay in the Bay. Is Orlando really that appealing with no assurance of Howard sticking around?
