you are still only giving up trevor ariza and chris kaman.. even if you dont buy into him, there is still the possibility that he proves you wrong.. and what are you really risking to find out?

It's been reported time and again from people within Dwight's camp that what he wants is two things
1. To create an International marketing brand, in a major market
2. To be the major draw for whatever team he goes too, meaning the centerpiece. He essentially needs the second part to do the first.
The reason why the Nets is at the top of his list is simple, Their Billionaire Owner. Not only is he a business magnate but he's also a young billionaire, known for living a lavish lifestyle. What true history does the Nets have, what history will they have if/when Dwight brings a championship to the Nets. The Bulls are still Jordan's team, yeah their Rose's team now, but if they win a ring it's going to be because of Rose and not Dwight as their hero. Also at the end of the day it's always going to be the house that MJ built. Now my guess is after Otis mismanagement of the roster after they made that finals run, and the fact that they have no cap flexibility is what has Dwight ready to leave
Another thing when you look at commercials involving NBA players, how many do you see with Dwight in it? How big is Dwight's brand exposure right now? Are you likely to see a billboard with Dwight on it in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, London, Madrid or any other major city around the world right now. Now think about the changes to that, if someone as say Jay Z, connects him with a management team or introduces him to some of his business partners even though Jay Z is a minuscule owner in the Nets.
At the end of the day he wants what Lebron has, what Shaq had, what MJ has, what Kobe had pre-Colorado. I'm only basing this off of reports

You're almost 100% right, one thing I disagree with is the bolded part
Kobe actually has it more now than he did in pre-Colorado. Go to any major market in Asia and Kobe is supreme there.. In China he's a God.

Nah, if the Magic are able to pull that off he would prolly atleast stay for one more year and not opt out. Him and Monte may or may not work out. But it would be the best second player they have given him to play with so far. That would also free up some cap to try and go after maybe Nash or another PG in the offseason since Nelson would be gone in the trade and they would be left with Duhon.
Its not gonna get them a Chip this year. But it might be just enough to get him to stay.
But as its been said. It doesnt make a whole lot of sense for the other teams involved. But the Warriors DO need a big man, and the Hornets were basically ready to just send Kaman home for the rest of the season for nothing about a month ago. So I guess it makes sense a little.

Bad trade for the warriors in my opinion. But they need a big.
- Warriors trade Ellis
- Warriors get Kaman
- Magic trade Anderson, Reddick, Nelson, Richardson
- Magic get Ellis and Ariza
- Hornets trade Kaman
- Hornets get Anderson and Nelson
Ok, so where do Reddick and JRich land?
Gotta be to GState don't they?

Crawford as a starter?
I really don't like that move either for LAC. It would be nice if they could somehow get Ray Allen from Boston.

I think Eric Bledsoe sucks and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future so if people are gassed up I suggest trading him now.

LOL @ Eric Bledsoe being too much and how "well" he's been playing lately.
in the month of march he's averaging 2.9 points 1.4 assists and 1 turnover on 35% shooting in an average 9 minutes a game.
Again. LOL
