HIGHLY unlikely Monta lands in Orlando to help them keep Dwight.

Ingram is a hoopsworld guy right? interesting that he said that and Kyler said he's with Rudolph on this.

Long time reader first time poster. I say if Dwight wants to go to a team without them giving up too much to get him I say we dump him somewhere he will be miserable for the rest of the season and get what we can for him.

Sam amick is well connected in northern California. He all but squashed the rumor.

Exactly what NOR wants (young talent, not lengthy contracts). GSW gets their big man, and Hedo is more productive than Biedrins for them on similar contract. He would also fit decently into that system I feel. They also get Q, a defensive veteran leader. Perhaps we throw in a pick to them as well.

LOL are you serious? warrior fans shouldnt see that :D

I'm still strapped in. Screw it, I'm prepared for Universal's The Hulk, and I ain't letting no downers get me off the ride! Ariza and CLee are coming to Orlando! And Ellis!

Dude...don't you know? Monta Ellis is a star playmaker. Biedrins is good. And Dorell Wright is underrated.

Something smells fishy though. YBR posted something a few days ago about something in the works, then today he comes out and says Ellis in a three way deal with the Hornets, only to have Rudolph report the same thing minutes later.

Wouldn't be suprised if Rudolph and YBR are the same person.

They need to pass out meds to all Magic fans. It is maddening being a fan of this team.

I know we are opinionated on Rudolph, but no way he tweets out as much info as he did if there are no legs to it. Maybe the trade doesn't happen, but still.. it's not like he's getting paid extra to piss you off.

Given what we know, I really won't be surprised to see the Magic commit to a midget backcourt just to avoid benching Jameer. They will do it at any cost.

This team has the biggest erections for Jameer. The only for us to move forward is to trade him.

I'm sorry but Anderson is way too overvalued on our board. I love the guy but lets all take a step back and remember he shoots the three ball and grabs offensive boards and that's it. He can't score on his own. He can't defend most 4's. He's not a great defensive rebounder. He can't block shots.
