Apparently, we have been talking to them for clear over a year about getting him, and that getting him would help tons with keeping Dwight. Just waiting on the March 1st date, so that we can trade more.

I know it might seem unlikely, but if talks have been going on for a over a year, some progress has to have been made.

I think a playmaker like Monta is all this team needs. That would be incredible. not holding my breath though.

Yeah, he's pretty much fill every hole our team has.

We'd have a playmaker, a scorer, someone who can drive consistently, someone who can get to the line consistently. He's the missing piece, imo. Still a longshot, but I'll keep up hope.

Hey, didn't a poster here yell to Otis "Get Monta!" and he replied "What do you think I'm trying to do?!" or something like that at a game a few months ago??

Gasol alone won't get it done for Celts.

Just for fun:

Magic Trade:
Dwight Howard
Jameer Nelson
Ryan Anderson
Chris Duhon
Daniel Orton

Celtics Trade:
Rajon Rondo
Jermaine O'Neal (EXP)
Brandon Bass
Avery Bradley

Lakers Trade:
Pau Gasol
Andrew Bynum
Steve Blake

Magic Receive:
Rajon Rondo
Andrew Bynum
Jermaine O'Neal (EXP)
Brandon Bass
Avery Bradley

Celtics Receive:
Paul Gasol
Ryan Anderson
Steve Blake

Lakers Receive:
Dwight Howard
Jameer Nelson
Chris Duhon
Daniel Orton

Magic Roster

Andrew Bynum, Jermaine O'Neal (EXP)
Brandon Bass, Glen Davis, Justin Harper
Hedo Turkoglu, Quentin Richardson, Earl Clark
Jason Richardson, JJ Redick, Von Wafer
Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Ish Smith

Celtics Roster

Pau Gasol, Greg Stiemsma
Kevin Garnett, Ryan Anderson
Paul Pierce, Mickael Pietrus
Ray Allen, Keyon Dooling
Steve Blake, E. Moore

Lakers Roster

Dwight Howard, Daniel Orton
Josh McRoberts, Troy Murphy
Ron Artest, Matt Barnes, Luke Walton, Kapono
Kobe Bryant, A. Goudelock
Jameer Nelson, Derek Fisher, Chris Duhon

Yeah, we give up a lot, but we get 2 perennial all-stars, clear a bit of cap space, and get a fresh start. We also trade Ryno while his value is high.

Boston gets the guy they want and a PG more than capable of running the show. Blake is on a great contract for the production that he gives, and Ryno would let Rivers open the floor when Garnett needs a breather.

Lakers trade 2 elite bigs and get Bass to compliment MVP candidate Dwight in the middle. Nelson is also a slight upgrade (albeit at twice the salary) to Blake. Lakers enter midseason with 4 former all-stars and 2 current ones in their SL.

Monta is obviously hampering GSW, he scored 48 and they still lost. What a loser.

great timing by Otis

"Let's see... he just score 48pts last night... I think I'll give Golden State a call"

GS needs to blow that team up

Because Otis Smith is our GM.

I actually do remember that. I would imagine he's throwing everything we've got at a deal for Monta while still remaining competitive this season.

Ryan Anderson, & J-Rich or Redick would have to be included, I would think.

btw I'll make Part XI when this reaches 100

BadMofoPimp · Post #1473 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Wed Feb 8, 2012 6:46 pm

Should have traded Hedo for Monta while we had a chance. Now, Monta is worth more than Hedo and Meer combined. . .

I doubt we can do anything straight up...

unfortunatelly we dont have anything Warriors need...

They basicly need a center only...

as they got Curry as pG
Eliis as SG
Wright as SF
Lee as PF

unfortunatelly we dont have Gortat

I think Gortat + Jrich or JJ would do the trick...

they dont need freakin Ryno...they got a starter PF

I still think a 3 team with NOH and Kaman to GSW is a possibility. Magic take back Biedrins and Ellis.

I was just messing around the trade checker with Orl, GSW, and NOH

I also tried Houston and Utah as 3rd and/or 4th teams. There are teams out there that are looking to move players... but the question is... who's really going to help Orlando at this point? :-?

you forgot who runs NOH?
Im sure Stern is eager to help Magic do keep Dwight

btw we hit 1000 yet?:D

rcklsscognition · Post #1479 » by **rcklsscognition** » Wed Feb 8, 2012 6:54 pm

I don't think Stern doesn't want to keep Howard here. I see no reason for him wanting him out.

it'll occur on page 10 of Part XI

Part1 = 99 5/15 pages
Part2 = 100 8/15 pages
Part3 = 99 11/15 pages
Part4 = 99 2/15 pages
Part5 = 99 11/15 pages
Part6 = 90 12/15 pages
Part7 = 100 2/15 pages
Part8 = 99 14/15 pages
Part9 = 101 1/15 pages
Part10= ~100 pages

990 6/15 pages total (from Part 1 through Part 10)
