Just curious, but, what team are you a fan of?

I just let y'all guess. . Plus a little rumor (I don't think its true) but if Monta does get traded and D12 doesn't leave, then the Nets will talk to another team before the deadline that have one of other player you want but my team wouldn't do it.

IDK Hawks?

I will give Otis a little props but Alex Martins deserves a ton of credit.

I won't be able to sleep all night... and I'll probably be up all morning... attend my 4 hour lecture grad course starting at 8am, all the while checking my smart phone... I'm all in... I don't care... I'll get over excited and be let down if nothing goes down, I don't care... there's only like 2 days left... none of this will matter after the 15th... so I'm going all in.

This is the best chance we've had at getting Ellis, and I'm not going anywhere for this. F it, let's go Otis. Let's go New Orleans. Let's get it done.

I have their sports talk radio up & going, but they are just talking about Randy Moss signing right now.

So it looks like GSW will give us Monta if they can get Bogut, now we need Bucks to accept whatever deal we give them...LETS GO BUCKS

And the bucks want to move SJax in any trade. And SJax said he wants to play in Orlando. And Dwight wants to play with Jackson, and Monta. If this seriously goes down, no matter what Otis does, and there are people that blame Otis for Dwight leaving...smh. Otis gets 3 of the 5 guys on Dwight's list of 5 to play with, with 1 being on a team Dwight wants to be trade to and out of the running, and the other a top 3 PG in the league.

No i will still blame Otis and praise Martins because Otis nearly dealt Dwight before the season before managemnt stopped that. so yea ill still hate otis

Yikes. Good luck NBA.

Come on Magic FO, this is your chance to get him.

I hear you and it's a good point. If Otis isn't fired, I will assume he did not actually sign off on that NJ deal and it was just a media rumor. If he is fired, I assume he did want to deal him.

Damn you guys, I can't even concentrate on my training here at work due to some of the good news I've been reading... :lol:

If this deal for Ellis falls through, ESPN says we're going to look for another star somewhere else. if we can't get anyone, management is going to sit down with Dwight on Wednesday and ask if he would at least opt-in to his final year. if not, we're going to listen to offers, and if we don't hear anything we like we'll most likely take a chance with Dwight.

Honestly guys even if a deal is worked out tonight will we accept it till after the heat game i mean we would have to gut our roster with no guarantee the players would even make it on time for the game it would almost guarantee a loss also none would know system at all even if they were available

Berger really promoting his 3-way article on the trade. This seems to have legs.

ADRajX · Post #57 » by **ADRajX** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:44 am

On monitter.com searching some terms like "Dwight trade" "Orlando rumor" "deal" "Ellis" etc. ... man I have a crap load of Nets fans tweeting their frustrations, fear, and anger that we might be getting Ellis if Golden State agrees to this 3-team deal :rofl:

Oh how the tables have turned. Let's Go! (this has turned into a game thread lol)

rcklsscognition · Post #58 » by **rcklsscognition** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:45 am

One thing we haven't mentioned is the title of the article and the overlying premise. That the trade hinges on Dwight, not the other teams. The trade hinges on Dwight committing to the Magic according to Berger.
