I feel bad saying this... but serves them right.

If reports are correct and Lopez is done for the season, the Nets deal is off. Plain and simple. You can't trade Dwight for a guy who injured his foot twice in one season and is currently on the shelf. Are we going to run Okur and humphries in the playoffs?

man what kind of situation are we in where empathy plays a factor lol.....man we're boned aren't we? Otis really screwed us....it's going to take a lot of factors going our way for us to land Ellis and if we don't land Ellis i seriously DOUBT we make any moves....It's either land Ellis and if we can't we stay with the same ole same....As it stands now we're just not good enough to beat Miami or Chicago in a series....Hell i'm not even confident that we could beat Philly or Indiana....you can throw Boston and Atlanta in there as well.....Bottom line...With this Roster the ONLY way we'll make any kind of noise is if we hit a hot streak at the right time....i mean in the playoffs we would need to be hitting record highs in 3's to have a chance lol

For all the Ellis talk, there is more talk of Nash to Orlando. More opinions from actual reporters and analysts about Nash to Orlando. If a "blockbuster" was going down, I think Nash is the one. More than likely we don't even get Nash though.

Not bad. Don't think Hornets would take Redick when they want Gordon long term.

I doubt Bogut alone would do it for Ellis either.

MagicFan32 · Post #429 » by **MagicFan32** » Mon Mar 5, 2012 2:58 am

Orlando has to have two scenarios

A trade that Makes d12 happy.
and trades for Howard.

The Magic need to have every trade proposal for Howard mapped out, they are stupid if they are not listening.

If you CANNOT make the moves to appease him, he has to be traded so you can PURGE the roster of bad contracts, like Hedo, Qrich and Duhon

IMO Sjax will be a Magic and have thought that for a few weeks.

The Magic need to eye lower tier players as well, like Ramon Sessions, he'd be a MUCH better backup than Duhon, so when nelson struggles we have a good player to take over, plus Nelson can only play 30 minutes.

You also need to get a backup center, we need to get more athletic as well

maybe....from the statements i've read from both the suns and Nash himself...they're more or less playing some passive game of chicken....seeing who'll blink first....Nash isn't demanding a trade but is open to it if the Suns want to.....Suns don't want to trade Nash unless he demands a trade...Chicken or the Egg? which comes first?

Gordon is going to Indiana in the summer.

Otis should definitely help get Kaman in GS.

Monta is not a PG, he's a scorer, he's like Gilbert Arenas, he doesn't have the PG mindset, atleast Nelson will try to get his teammates involved, and is traditionally a good 3 point shooter. Monta is a 2, not a 1.

I dont know why GS wouldnt bite on a trade that nets them Kamen and a couple draft picks, especially if they can dump Lee's contract. They would have a ton of cap space and Curry, Thompson, and Udoh to build around. Thats a brighter future then the one they got now IMO

i think the kings would LOVE to pair anderson with cousins. The kings are desperate for ticket sales and anderson is a hometown kid.

I honestly think this is the most feasible Monta proposal yet. I'd prefer Lee to Biedrins, but I am sure GS would rather dump Andres

not bad. however, I'd keep Thorton in Sac-town and ship JRich to Golden State.

gs gets a platoon of young bigs and a nice starting sg in thorton. also nelson would be a great fit there. SAC gets a great pf to compliment cousins game and a starting sg in jrich. orlando gets their man ellis and a backup center. next move would be get a better backup pg and possibly get sjax.
