Monta putting his true feelings out there. Hopefully this somewhat forces Golden State's hand.

Dwight/BBD/JRich for Monta/Lee/Klay/1st

That works for me Hedo expires in a couple looks like this
at least they will be fun to watch
Monta/Jameer
JJ/Von/Klay
Klay/Clark/Q
Anderson/Clark
Lee/?

i would rather have jsmith and horford for dwight and hedo.

Yea but I dont see ATL moving a 2 time allstar C and Smith for Howard rental, at least with GSW their owner is dumb enough to give us decent value and take on bad contracts

i kinda agree, but you never know with atl, they have just as bad management as gsw. remember when rasheed wallace was there for a game and then sent packing to detroit?

48 hours to do so. I feel like it would have to take more.

NBA source: Monta Ellis & the Warriors have discussed the possibility that it is time for him to be traded. But doesn't mean it'll happen.

Marcus Thompson ‏ @gswscribe
Talked w/ Monta today. During convo, I said he had 2 yrs left after this year. He quickly corrected me: "One year left" ... Story coming

lol

He can opt out after next season.

What's more interesting is the tweet that followed...

Warriors star Monta Ellis on trade talk: “I probably could go to Orlando or Chicago and get a championship. But if they don’t move me, what can I do? Hopefully – if they don’t move me – they get somebody in here so we can win and I don’t have to go through this every year.”

Ok he said the organization told him Friday that th 3 way deal for Monta was "a done deal" only to find out Monday that it wasn't done and we were basically still trying to convince GSW. Doubts Orlando makes a move to bring in help

Believe it or not.

Multiple NBA sources: Monta Ellis is frustrated with the team's inability to fulfill promises to build a contending roster.

hope for the best, expect the worst.

Anything is possible. If we were close to a trade before and their owner blocked it, anything can happen to where he comes back to the table and we get something done. 48 hrs is a long time, but not really.

Sorry for being optimistic.

[BadMofoPimp]

things are so hectic right now, multiple conflicting reports, some even in the same report. I just dont know who to believe at this point, but my gut is telling me that the magic fo are being pushed into the corner by dwight and his people.

Don't believe a single thing. Not a single report. It is just media trying to speculate hoping at least one of their ideas turns out to be true. Then, they can say I told you so.

This is what they call the entertainment business.

[OrlandO]

If Monta is ready to go we could still be in the mix. Roller coaster ride not over yet?

[Furinkazan]

Is this forum at DEFCON 5 yet?

YES!!!!

You ment

defcon 1



defcon 5 is what we got everyday

atm this board is at DEFCON 2 Id say


but tommorow we will be at

[Potterman]

There is no chance we trade Dwight. Media is driving a narrative to maximize clicks. Information regarding FO decisions are closed circuit, no access. What little nibbles we get are as accurate as you'd get if we all played a game of telephone. However, verified information from Dwight himself and the FO clearly points out that we are trying to upgrade the talent, so I'm still strapped in!

So in other words. Orlando Magic org is on "lockdown".

DEFCON5!!!!

[DiplomaticMagic]

What a roller coaster, I am gonna remain hopeful until Thursday, but I never felt so bad about the situation

[Tayswagzzz]

Situation seemed bad. But now Monta expressing frustration surfaces. AND he's reportedly talked to his management about it. Interesting...

Christ... what a clusterF

-Alex doesn't want to trade Dwight
-Otis wants to trade Dwight
-Ownership doesn't want to trade Dwight
-Dwight wants to leave if we don't get Ellis
-Magic FO told Dwight we are getting Ellis (YBR)
-Dwight reportedly talked to Ellis (YBR)
-Ellis deal falls through
-Golden State's owner is a douche and wants Dwight
-Golden State's deal for Bogut falls through
-Golden State still doesn't want to do any 3-team deal (Orl/GSW/NOH, & Orl/GSW/MIL)
-Now Golden State is revisiting getting Bogut, WITHOUT Orlando involved (because they just don't want to help us keep Dwight, because again, their owner is a delusional douche)
-Now Monta Ellis is frustrated and wants out (along with a couple other guys, such as Biedrins)
-Monta Ellis may force a trade
-Magic fans are upset, and are fearing for the worst (Dwight to be traded)

What a a clusterF... so confusing... I can't wait for this to be over with

[Reggie Theus]

You and me both. Sometimes I wish I didn't find this site or twitter. Lmao. I'm hooked now

[trebone]

Why wont this Monta stuff just stop already we get it, Lacob will not trade him ok

[HstryInTheMakng]

At this point, ship dwight turk and bbd for some expiring contracts and lets move on. Lets go get a new superstar via FA to run this team that wants to be here. Dwight doesn't deserve the love we've given him over the years based on what he's doing too us now.

If that story is true, I can't blame Dwight for being pissed. I am as much as he is that we can't bring Monta in.
