If Paul goes to the Lakers it gives us a better shot at Ellis. I'm a glass half full kinda guy.

He may have not have officially been an all-star, but he's an all-star caliber talent... in his prime

dude puts up 20+ppg, gets to the line a lot... and he's a terrific shooter... he's a star talent

I should take a nap,and dream about Orlando acquiring Ellis, Iggy, and Josh Smith ... and Otis standing over podium laughing down at LA, NOH, GS, NY, BOS, ATL, etc...

I'm praying that some other team steps in and intervenes with NOH and HOU

Would they even have room? Do you really think Dwight would sign for cheap?

guys unless Houston wants to be the laughing stock of the league I doubt the get rid of their young talent for a 31 year old softy. ALSO remember this 98% of the deals you hear about are the ones that fall through. don't worry about it until it happens. sucks believe me I know because I live in LA and I'm hearing aaaaaaalllllll the BS.

Wouldn't Dwight have to sign there for Discount if that's the case? i don't know what Dwight is thinking but i don't think he's at that age to take a big paycut to chase rings is he? IMO he is one of only 2 players worth a true Max Contract....I don't know anything anymore this off-season has been steadily melting my brain

I think they would, especially if they use the amnesty

They wanna move Ellis to give Curry more freedom. plus the fact that they actually like JRich.

Our only shot at ellis is if paul goes to GSW for curry, or if they decide to pay chandler out the rear and need to move biedrins.

Otherwise, it aint happening. Hell, I half expect otis to s/t jrich for biedrins and a prospect of theres with NO ellis -- just to get trade chips to pursue someone else.

It's not a good deal value wise. they could get a better package for Monta, unless they WANT to trade him here.

Plus they would have to take in Biedrins contract, which I'm assuming GSW wants badly to happen

I ask again. Would you guys like a deal for Joe Johnson and Josh smith. Cause it seems like the only way we getting anyone is to take on a ridiculous contract or three.
