Sources tell ESPN that GSW far more focused Monday trying to assemble workable trade scenario to get Andrew Bogut from MIL than engaging ORL

I'm totally not getting any work done today... :lol:

I really can't wait till this trade deadline is over, the tension is getting to me.

They are just doing what they do best.

ESPN hates us and they've been trying their ass off to get Dwight out of Orlando.

The talks are legit, ESPN doing their best to downplay it.

Actually, GS may very well have D12 on Thurs.... Monta/Lee may be the best package we can get if he doesn't commit.

Magic want Monta to keep Dwight. Joe Lacob lusts for Dwight. His GSDubs won't part w/Monta for Kaman & Turkoglu, even if they shed Biedrins

Sooooo basically they are hanging up on Orlando... perfect... why am I not surprised :roll:

Does anyone think that Orlando should just give up on trying to get Ellis? If I seem to remember correctly the Magic went after CJ Watson a couple of times and Golden State matched an offer and then when Bulls sign him they let him go... Maybe GSW have a thing against Otis and the Magic??

I guess we are going to stay the same or somehow go about getting someone else other than Ellis... Wesley Matthews or DeMar DeRozan anyone?

They would have to throw in one of Wright/Klay and picks for the Magic to even consider it IMO. I would also try hard to get Curry in the deal.

Bogut is way better than Kaman, I believe in this scenario

^ This is what I honestly believe is the case ESPN really wants Dwight to leave.

I think Jameer would thrive off the bench. He'd be the primary option with the second squad and he usually has his way with point guards with that level. If this happens as rumored, we're the 2nd best team in the league. I think we could even give Miami a run for their money.

I'd take any one of those 2 if we could get them cheap without giving up JJ and Ryan. they wouldn't help us as much as Ellis would IMO, so no need to give JJ or Ryan up.

Offensively we would be boss:

PG Nelson, Duhon
SG Ellis, Redick, Wafer
SF Hedo, Richardson, Clark
PF Anderson, Davis
C Lee, Orton

Defensively we would be a joke.

But why should they? Who else outside of New Jersey is making serious offers? No need to outbid themselves.
