I guess we are going to stay the same or somehow go about getting someone else other than Ellis... Wesley Matthews or DeMar DeRozan anyone?

I'd take any one of those 2 if we could get them cheap without giving up JJ and Ryan. they wouldn't help us as much as Ellis would IMO, so no need to give JJ or Ryan up.

I cant get the link here because my computer is being stupid today but I did the trade checker and it says that Turkoglu and JRich for Gerald Wallace and Wes Matthews works..

I know this is very unlikely but maybe with the current situation the Portland front office is in maybe Otis can swing in and pull the trade off?

GSW pursuit of Bogut not w/out obstacles. MIL wants Stephen Jackson added to any deal. Would Dubs bring him back, @timkawakami? #rhetorical

Same scenario, we take back jackson and get ellis, and ship our pieces to MIL and bogut to GSW, make it happen OTIS

Three-Way Deal with Orlando and New Orleans Involving Monta Ellis Has No Legs

Team sources, once again, refute reports that Golden State is considering trading guard Monta Ellis to Orlando for anything other than Dwight Howard. Warriors management has held with that stance even though the latest possibility includes a third team – New Orleans. Orlando, however, is doing all it can to get some help for Howard in a bid to keep him around, as ESPN Chris Broussard reported.

OH MY GOD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

That trade is highway robbery for us, hence it will never happen... :cry:

Yep, I think it's official, we're not getting him because they let that fool own a team....

It's time to focus our attention to teams with a functioning owner who wants to actually make a deal instead of tricking himself into thinking Dwight would be traded there and more laughably stay there...

What about adding in 2 1st round picks?

We need to focus on improving our bench. I'm probably optimistic as hell for saying this but I honestly do believe that we can be a dark horse in the playoffs. My main fear is that are we disciplined enough to play hard and intelligent for 48 minutes each game because that is the main issue I have with this team this season.

ADRajX · Post #959 » by **ADRajX** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:31 pm

lol anyone think that because the rumor got leaked by YBR and then Jarrod... that it might have negatively affected/inhibited the actual trade from happening?

BelgianMagic · Post #960 » by **BelgianMagic** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:31 pm

I don't get it .. Dwight has literally said he doesn't wanna go to the Warriors

Steve Kyler ‏ @stevekylerNBA
Warriors on the offensive trying to quell 3-team deal with Orlando... they have several things going, but say Orlando is not one of them

Warriors owner is worse than Otis .. He doesn't wanna be there, just give up
