07:51 AM ET 06.19 | The Golden State Warriors had gone after mostly midlevel players in their attempts to trade guard Monta Ellis. But with everyone vying for the attention of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard these days, they decided to take a shot at the most sought after big man in the NBA, according to a tweet from Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress. "The Dwight Howard sweepstakes have begun. Golden State offered Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Ekpe Udoh. Unlikely that'll get it done," Givony tweeted Saturday.

Those 3 for Howard?

I think "Unlikely" is being kind.

Dwight - Golden St. is basketball purgatory. Get with some winners and be a Laker bro. Visit Staples and look up. You want your name up there with Wilt or Joe Barry Carroll?

Wow Monta Ellis for Dwight Howard. Ellis is Iverson-lite. All he can do is score and nothing else. Never trade your big for smalls.

Howard is not gettable for GS. Instead try Ellis/Beidris for Joe Johnson/hinrinch or Williams

I think ellis has good value. Problem though is they have alot of $ tied up in lee and biedrins (how bad is that lee contract looking now)Who do you think has more value (or would bring more value back) curry or ellis?

Honestly... I might go with Curry at this point of his career.

But - do the Warriors really want to do THAT???
