Warriors/Hornets/Magic (Trade Rumor)

[Eddie20]

Per Real GM:

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, Daniel Orton, 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.

I have no idea who Jarrod Rudolph is, or what his credentials are, but:

Sources say Magic, Warriors & Hornets are discussing 3-team deal that would send Ellis and others to Magic. Nothing imminent at this point

Magic players said to be discussed: Redick, Q.Richardson, Turkoglu, Anderson and Orton. Hornets believed to be unloading Kaman in the deal

Man, at first glance this looks like a steal for Orlando. And to speculate, I assume this means that Howard probably told Alex Martins that he'll stay in Orlando if they land Ellis.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - Quintin Richardson on the plane ride out.

Rudolph:

Discussed deal would send Ellis, Dorell Wright and Andris Biedrins to the Magic, sources said.

Sounds like a load of nonsense -- GSW isn't giving up Monta Ellis without getting a star quality player in return and if they are trading with Orlando that means Dwight Howard.

I wouldn't assume that.  The Magic are doing everything they can to convince him to stay.  I don't think he is promising anyone anything right now though.

I assume this would make glen Davis the default starting pf ?

According to reports, Howard wants to play with a star. So if Ellis comes in a trade, I think he'll stay in Orlando and keep many people, including his mother happy. Plus, his relationship with Martins seems very positive. In fact, as time passes I hear more about Martins than I do about Otis Smith.

He'd still be a fool to guarantee anything. What if the revamped lineup gets run off the floor in he first round and him and monta don't mesh? Anything can happen.

what's the incentive for Golden State?  Ryan Anderson??

I'm guessing it's Anderson, possibly JRich, and getting out from Biedrin's contract? Does seem a little thin.

But then they are stuck with Turkaglu for a couple years.  His contract is worse than Biedrins.

Basically we're saying Monta Ellis for Ryan Anderson.  The rest of those scrubs are irrelevant.  Must be draft picks involved.
