as much as I want it to be, we knew this since the beginning of the season, did we not? Exactly that gsw wants a big orlando does not have one, so they would prob involve a 3rd team.

My 3-team trade with NOH would also include Ariza to ORL if we have to include Anderson/Orton. Maybe liggins.

The question is why did Broussard AND Rudolph have to wait till 9pm to report this rumor? Almost like a PR embargo on a product launch...

He's probably the first player GSW asks ..

Personally, as much as I like Ryan, a player like Monta is just what this team needs. If that's what it takes to keep Dwight in Orlando ..

I don't even care, I'm excited and if it doesn't pan out oh well. If we trade Anderson for Monta I personally don't think of it as that much of an upgrade.

Trading our only good young guys would probably prove to be a mistake. if Dwight still leaves (which I personally think he will), and now we don't have Ryan and JJ either, that's a certifiable disaster.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I just see how we get him. If it takes a 3-4 team trade to do it, Otis hasn't shown he can pull those off.

I'd imagine Broussard was going to publish the ESPN piece at 9pm and he used Rudolph as his source, Rudolph had to wait till 9pm once the article was published.

You have to do it. if it keeps Dwight around, which I know you want to happen, than we HAVE to do it.
