don't know if these were posted... more of the same though
@KBergCBS Bucks talking Bogut trade with Rockets, Warriors with Golden State scenario involving Dwight Howard


@AlexKennedyNBA: The three-team deal does not include Dwight Howard, according to sources. The Magic are trying to acquire Monta Ellis to appease Howard.

I'm sure the Clippers would be interested in J-Rich. Otis should make the call.

Williams or Bledsoe/Gomes would be nice.

Great point, I'm sorry to admit this didn't occur to me until now, but I agree 100%

From Berger:

The Rockets and Warriors are discussing ways to acquire center Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee, with the Golden State scenario part of a complicated, three-team proposal that would send Monta Ellis to Orlando, multiple league sources told CBSSports.com.

The Warriors would get Bogut from the Bucks and send Ellis to Orlando as part of the Magic's efforts to persuade Dwight Howard that they are prepared to continue surrounding him with top-flight talent. The Magic are exploring multiple scenarios to upgrade their roster in the hopes that Howard would then relent on his strategy to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

those are good upgrades... a pretty good plan B to after and get ready for the playoffs with; and improve the depth in our weak areas too imo.

The price for Bogut has been sort of set by the competition: Samuel Dalembert, Courtney Lee and draft picks, with an s.

why are people asking for backup point guards knowing that Stan won't play them over Duhon?

We're delusional, thinking maybe there is a way we could oust Duhon in a trade or send him to the end of the bench... but knowing Stan, that will never happen :lol: .. :cry:

In a few years if healthy, Jordan has a chance to be special if adds more post moves/better FT shooter than Howard (given he has more time with Mark Price b4 he request a trade) :lol:

Does not taking Biedrins back make this trade much less complicated? That's less salary Orlando would have to send out. Once we get above 15 mil or so of outgoing, we'll struggle to put together a good package.

I guess averaging 25/13 while being a dominant defensive presence in the paint does not help a team win championships. Howard has already been to the finals once. More to come.

That's why I would hope maybe getting a team like NOH or Milwaukee involved would help..but so far it's been :dontknow:

Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.
