If it's not fair, we can throw in a pick for this year and 2014.

That's a fair trade. Get it done, Otis!

Schmitz' Take: Teams who might rent Dwight Howard - Brian Schmitz
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/o ... ?track=rss

When Magic GM Otis Smith is asked about the restrictions that Dwight Howard puts on the club with only three teams on his trade-request list, Smith says, “He has three (teams), we have 29.”

The Magic are scouring the league for assets if they have to deal Dwight.

Here are perhaps some teams that might consider renting Howard:...

Then we flip KD and Westbrook for Will Smith and Travis Porter. And swap Harden for Albert Haynesworth. All the while, we hang on to Ibaka...

Good/Bad. Dwight is gone, hopefully for Westbrook..... But Otis is referring to Golden State..

it's been really quiet around the league when it comes to trades....are they really waiting for us to be the first domino that sets everything off?

For God's sake, will someone put a lid on Otis' mouth. He wants to put the blame all on Howard. its not all him, its YOU OTIS!

ChildishGambino · Post #648 » by **ChildishGambino** » Mon Mar 5, 2012 6:14 pm

Is Otis really trying to burn that bridge with the player still on the team? That is the very definition of talking reckless....unless this whole thing is a ploy and Dwight and Otis are in on it...if that's the case then the jokes on me....

Dwight/Jameer for Westbrook/Perkins

Kevaroo · Post #652 » by **Kevaroo** » Mon Mar 5, 2012 6:30 pm

A lot of this media talk is twisted (go figure) The ony Monta for Howard thing is ridiculous because we weren't looking for a straight trade for Monta we knew from the beginning there would be multiple teams involved to acquire Monta. The whole Dwight trade list is ridiculous anyways that is twisted as well, if Dwight demands a trade who cares where we trade him? What other bridge is there to burn. Dwight has burned us enough already. I'm still holding onto a slight glimmer of hope that he just pulling a Kobe to get more leverage from a team.

I would do it in a heartbeat, it'd be the best value for Dwight by far.

Some guy in Twitter is mentioning a Joe Johnson for Monta Ellis swap as a possibility...

PeePee la Fritz · Post #656 » by **PeePee la Fritz** » Mon Mar 5, 2012 6:37 pm

I know you all have been discussing it, and I threw out a trade idea like 20 pages back. But I think Portland is our most realistic trading partner. Nate has to win at least 1 playoff series to keep his job, that is if he makes it through the season as coach (this is all from Portland commentators mouthes). They are talking about just blowing it up. They are not moving Aldridge, Batum, or Mathews but everyone else can be had. Wallace, Felton, Crawford, etc. They have big time expirings in Wallace, Camby, and Felton, and Crawford is on a great deal. I believe Portland is the team that could give us the right players to stay competitive this year while also giving us the ability to shed major payroll

Would you do Anderson/Redick/Jameer For G.Wallace/J.Crawford?

Then do Hedo for Jax..

Dwight
G.Wallace
Jackson
J.Rich
Crawford

That's a sick lineup

Have a look at Joe Johnson's contract... No way Warriors make that deal.

Exactly and just like in the off season, there won't be a lot of deals made because of the lockout. GMs are afraid of looking short-sighted. So the preference is to stay put.
