Warriors Trading Monta Ellis To Orlando Magic?


According to a recent report in the Orlando Sentinel, Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors may be made available during the off-season, and the Orlando Magic may be interested.
Said the paper:
Why the Warriors might trade him: Ellis, a volume shooting guard who prefers to dominate the ball, doesn’t mesh particularly well with Steph Curry. Ellis has been on the trading block before, but the Warriors never saw a deal they wanted to make.
Why the Magic might want him: Ellis can create his own shot, a trait no perimeter player on the Magic roster currently possesses. He averaged 24.1 points per game last season and would give the Magic a scoring complement to Dwight Howard.
Apparently the Magic are seriously looking to trade for a player to complement Dwight Howard in an effort to re-sign him to a long term deal.
It’s no secret Howard has been noncommittal about his future in Orlando, with many citing the Los Angeles Lakers as a potential landing spot for Howard.
Also named in the article as potential trade targets for the Magic were Rip Hamilton, Andre Iguodala, O.J. Mayo, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams.
