monta is an electric sg not some washed up vince carter or jrich. 08 nelson is the closest we have seen to a player of ellis's calibre. I would hate to lose anderson though

I'd rather just trade Dwight rather than give up our limited assets to get an overrated, undersized guard who needs 20+ shots a game to be effective. Dwight is gone even if we get Ellis.

if ellis just turns into that player that can get points in the 4th by driving the ball to the hoop at 15ppg, then I will be satisfied.

What does it matter if he shoots up 20+ shots per game? who else are we gonna give it to? anyway some Magic fans are too picky sometimes.... he'd clearly be the best player Dwight's ever played with....

Same here, but Justin Harper is next in line to take over that role. At least we'll have that to look forward too in the coming years.

let's all be clear here. Monta is 10 times better then Nelson ever dreamed of. Has Nelson scored 50 in a game. Heck no! The sooner the Magic get rid of Nelson and Duhon the better our team is.

yeah but if you can get ellis now, then if you trade dwight your team is just that much better. bynum, gasol, and ellis with fillers would be top 4 worthy in the east.

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.

Sadly I think I might be a +1 on this. Orlando is going to have to give up a ton and has no guarantee Dwight stays, it could blow up in Orlando's face and they could get bounced out in the 1st round and Howard bolts. Then what?
