Yeap, otherwise there is no chance Otis even knows they can be!

LOL. After the All-star after party and two straight 12 hour days, all I can think about is sleep.

There are 8 games between now and March 15th. If there is going to be a trade(not involving Dwight), then I hope it is soon.

How can you NOT be excited at the possibility that Ellis is in a Magic uniform?

especially if it keeps Dwight in Orlando... he's one of the guys Dwight wants, am i right? ... Ellis can create for himself and for others (someone we never had that could do that)... and he's a legit second star that we can pair with Dwight (both are the same age too, young star duos), you just can't say no to that imo.

Man, I go away for a half an hour and you guys get 10+ pages up. Don't buy into the hype. Did the CP3 ordeal not teach you anything?

put Ellis at PG... boom, it's done... Ellis/Dwight PNR and inside-out... it's over!... plus we finally have a closer down the stretch who can create a shot for himself and score when our offense becomes stagnant... he isn't a spot up shooter... he can TAKE OVER a game at any time, especially in the 4th, when Dwight needs relief

Man, I sure don't want that on my team. An athletic wing who can get his own shot and drive to the rim? I'll pass.

I don't think we can get Ellis, mainly because I think other teams are interested and have better offers, but I'm excited about the idea that Otis is out there trying to make something happen... this current roster will fizzle out early in the playoffs, so it's either improve the team or trade dwight.

I don't see any scenario where we could get Ellis without giving up Anderson......and Ryan has a far superior PER..

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Because he is a high volume player who isn't going to have the ball in his hands enough with SVG to put up the same production he is in Golden State. IF (big if) Dwight promised to not opt out if we trade for Ellis, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But if that isn't the case, I'm having a hard time getting on board with gutting our roster for him. He won't solve all of our problems and we're creating new problems while we are at it.
