The Warriors have no interest in trading Monta Ellis in a deal that sends him to the Magic, which would increase the odds of the team keeping Dwight Howard, according to sources.

Orlando attempted to piece together a three-team deal for Ellis, including efforts with the Bucks and Hornets.

Howard's representatives reiterated that his preference is to play for the Nets.

Howard also has a list of several players he would like to play with, and Ellis is on the list. Deron Williams is also presumed to be on the list.
