Hands down Ellis.

I'd gut this roster for Ellis

Me too. Ellis and Dwight alone would be better than this current team.

This is why Bucks would consider SJackson for Turk. However, I dont think Otis would take that risk. We already have Dwight begging for a change in philosophy; now we have Davis screaming for the same. Who knows how Jackson would accept his role in this system. A lot of risk.

Could be the perfect mix if we get Nash too.

Bucks get: Humphries
Nets get: Howard and S-Jax
Magic get: Lopez, Brooks, Okur and Nets 2012 1st rd pick

Thoughts?

Ellis. Ellis would actually get Dwight thinking about the future in Orlando.

Ellis of course! I'd trade Ryan... heck I'd trade the entire roster for Ellis

Unbelievable.

That's pretty much the deal they're offering us but with them giving up garbage for SJax.....

Edit: Oh, and, they don't take any of our bad contracts with them...

I agree, but you know Stan. He'll stick with his comfort players so we gotta ship 'em out.

Somebody sneak over to Otis' house and leave this on his door step tonight. Be sure to draw arrows to where everyone is going in colorful marker so he can understand.

Nice.

Phoenix owes us for raping us last year. Meer for Nelson straight up

We'd probably have to give up JJ, sucks would be so good with Nash.

Dwight Howard Rumors: Staying with Orlando Magic "A Very Real Possibility," According to Report

The source Orlando Pinstriped Post spoke to during the All-Star festivities did not rule out the possibility the Magic would trade Howard before the deadline, but also said it's much more likely Orlando attempts to trade for another big-name player who can improve the team's championship chances this season and bolster its efforts to convince Howard to stay long-term; the source declined to name specific players the Magic might target, or which of their own players they may make available.

I'm actually starting to believe that we'll do something.

I like the big name player part

DiplomaticMagic · Post #498 » by **DiplomaticMagic** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 3:53 am

I think we're gonna do something too, though I thought the same last year, but I'd be really surprised if we don't make a trade before the deadline this year. And no, i'm not talking about a dwight trade.

I'm actually starting to believe that we'll do something.

Why does everyone keep saying we can simply just do a sign-and-trade? NJ and Dallas wouldn't do this because they can sign him outright without giving up any talent. Esp NJ. The new CBA doesn't give the player any extra money by executing a sign-and-trade. It's 4 years, 4.5% raises, the same as if they just sign as a free agent. So, no...."those same deals" won't be available come July. If none of his desired teams had cap-room to sign him, then yes....but 2 of the 3 do.

BTW, when does Dwight have to make the decision by in terms of opting out/in? One possible scenario would be he opts in but says that I will 100% not re-sign after, so you may as well trade me. Then he gets the most money and we get something back for him.

Who are some big name players we haven't been linked to that we can trade for?
