Admin Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Wonder if there is any truth to this and how this affects a Dwight trade and also a possible Atlanta trade. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/219646/Three_Team_Ellis_To_Magic_Being_Discussed The Magic, Warriors and Hornets are in discussions on a three-team trade, two league sources confirmed. Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Dorell Wright would be sent by the Warriors to the Magic. Ryan Anderson, J.J. Redick, Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson would be the main outgoing pieces from Orlando. The Hornets' exact involvement is unclear, but believed to be centered around Chris Kaman. No trade is imminent but talks are ongoing say sources.

Joker Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Orlando making moves! Good for them. Now I know why NJ trying everything to get Josh. They can make it harder for Howard to stay in Orlando. We need to do whatever it takes to get Nash from Phx without trading Joe, Josh, or Al.

They don't want to deal Nash and they're certainly not going to deal him for Teague and Marvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hinrich and Teague is a pretty sweet deal for Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Orlando's main desire has been to keep Dwight so them making a move like this is mainly to convince him to stay. Sincerely doubt they'd pull something like this off just to move him right after. 'Supe if right about the dynamic between a move like this and Smoove/Nets.

Admin Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 This reeks of last year when the Magic got desperate and blew up a pretty good team to try and make Dwight happy. Too early to say whether this will be a good deal or not since it's not fully fleshed out but it seems desperate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 If I am GS, I want a 1st without question. Kaman for Ellis is pretty wack. Who's taking Turk. I need future 1st's too for that. Orlando going to have to give everything and the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhawksfan Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) http://basketball.re...Being_Discussed New rumor involving ORL / GSW. Monta to ORL and ORL sends a couple of pieces and seems to clear a ton of cap space. Looks like a preclude to more. Things could be heating up and wouldn't be surprised to have some Hawk news soon.

Last year, after watching the wheels come off of Shard and Vince in the playoffs, the Magic panicked into a trade barely a quarter way into the season in an attempt to recapture the dynamic that got them to the Finals in the first place. This trade looks to net them an actually good player and doesn't reek of the usual "MORE 3 POINT SHOOTERS!!!" gimmick that they've based their every move in the past 5 years on.

When I say that it reeks of desperation I mean by moving so many players in the deal, which could cause big time chemistry problems, especially if a 3rd team is involved. But yes you are right that it's not as bad as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T21 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 By the mentioned names, this deal would definitely favor Magic... They're obviously trying everything to keep Dwight! Nelson Monta Wright Biedrins Dwight That's a nice line-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You know he can't sellout his barber, Dol. I don't like to doubt people who say they have inside sources, but you can only keep that shtick up for so long without having at least 1 insider rumor be proven right. That's not at a shot at you Sup as you might not even be referring to an inside source here, I'm just saying that's my personal opinion on people who claim to have an inside source.

Joker Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) You guys call me out numerous times but I got word it's not real. Orlando is trying to make a deal but GS is looking to get an All Star for Ellis. Nothing on Atlanta right now. Either Atlanta is sitting on their roster or nothing is getting out there. You guys want to call me out but your all twitter sources haven't been close. Everything I generally told you was real. Amare potential trade. Jamal coming to Atlanta. Phx and Atl meeting about a potential trade of Nash. CP3 interest in a trade for Atl. Atlanta finally putting Horford on the table for a Dwight rental. Keep calling me out, I won't tell you s**t from now on. Source? You already know who it is. It is the same person, I don't have no one else right now. My connects that used to be with Atlanta are gone. Edited March 12, 2012 by nbasuperstar40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I would just like to go on record as saying 5 days before it happened, I called the Shareef trade. Everyone called me bogus but I just stated it made sense for all parties. When it happened the board was like, "DUDE, NAILED IT!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
