Nets on "Cusp" of Signing Nene; Consider Bringing RJ Back

Email
PrintIn the midst of the latest Magic malfunction over Dwight Howard, the Nets are closing in --"on the cusp" as Fred Kerber put it-- on Nene, keeping as many options open as possible. Kerber also reports that among the candidates the Nets are considering at the small forward position is Richard Jefferson.
"There is lots to resolve," writes Kerber. "One, is the question of Nene who league sources maintain was leaning toward the Nets and their offer that is expected to be in the neighborhood of $60 million for four years — league sources said the deal was close but would not get done last night".
Nene and Howard have the same agent, Dan Fegan.
Similarly, Stefan Bondy wrote, "a source told The News that the Nets were closing in on top free-agent target Nene Hilario after failing to sign their other targets", and Ken Berger tweeted "league sources say the Nets are more focused on landing free-agent big man Nene than trading for Dwight Howard."
Kerber identified four candidates for the small forward position: "Jefferson, an amnesty guy in San Antonio — emerged as a long shot with usual suspects Rasual Butler, Josh Howard and another long shot, Andrei Kirilenko." Other reports indicate AK-47 has to be considered because of his ties to the team's Russian ownership.

The Lakers/Paul trade is holding up Howard (and maybe Nene)
Problem for us because then we have to tread water with Nene.. At some point Nene could get mad and just go to Denver, Indy, or somewhere else. Or.. if Nene waits until after the trade, maybe he goes to Houston with Pau as was rumored before
Orlando probably doesnt want to trade until they know what they can get from LA
Best news for us would be..
Bynum being added to the deal, and Houston having to take Ariza in the deal.

you are right they do
But Nene is a human.. players have egos.. they want to be most important and the first choice
How much should we bid for RJ?
I think a team will pick him up for 4 mil a year… I wouldn’t want to pay that much..
4 mil is high but assures we will get him
At worst he is healthy and shot 44% from 3 for an elite team.
Get RJ. And I want to see how this amnesty process works. But RJ is solid and will be reasonable 3 for 10-12 is very manageable. IMO.
The guy is a starter. A slasher spot shooter who runs the floor and plays well off the ball will flourish with DWILL.
I always remember RJ talking about being an efficient player.

2.5 mil x 2 years
His style contrasts well with DJames and he knows how to play the game. I’m more inclined to get him if we get Dwight… we couldn’t get too ambitious as SF then.

Insanity
An amnestied player should not be allowed to collect extra money . They should be claimed by a team and if accepted by league, earn the cash comming to them.
Only in America.
by Zartan on Dec 10, 2011 10:18 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
he wouldn't get extra money.
whatever teams bid for, the highest bid goes to the team who amnestied the player. no amnestied players get extra money..
would have to be pretty worthless of a player to have zero bids...
i can think of only one candidate for that…
Did any of our capoligist figure
if we can sign both Nene and DH?
cause there are a lot of things to work out. And if we
restrict our cap space it also gives the Magic leverage to say trade him to another team or simply convince him to re-sign since there would be no opportunity for him to leave via free agency. Its very similar to the Melodrama in a lot of ways.
also, not being able to take back
Hedos contract (we wouldnt be able to if we have Nene) would make our trade offer much less appealing. So anything regarding trading for Dwight would be difficult if we do not have the cap space or perfect assets that the Magic covet (i.e. if the Magic really wanted Nene anyway… but they likely don’t, and Nene def woulnd’t sign with us if he thought he was only to be traded..)
just cant trade for Dwight AND Hedo
But trading Lopez and Farmar (or other parts, after amnestying Outlaw) gives the Nets enough space to have Nene and Dwight..
Gotta say, that would be a sick combo. But I would prefer Brook and Dwight personally—cant complain though :)

dude you gotta look up the amnesty rules
or at least check up on this site more often. second comment in a row not having a clue about this stuff. not trying to be a dbag, just sayin, its one of the more discussed issues. you could pay attention a little?
Your right
But don’t care to much for the amnesty to read them. Just want to see a finished product (good one).
Thanks for the help. It’s what the sites for.
Btw I’ve seen every post. Not all the tittles interest me and won’t read every reply.
I'll explain it now..
Why the board is still quiet and you actually get a chance to read this!
The way it works is, we would have to split the Dwight Howard trade in 2. First trade for Hedo while we are under the cap, then trade for Dwight while we are over the cap. Since over the cap teams can get up to 5 million more than what they are sending out, we would have to send out 12.8 million… of which the best case would be Lopez, Farmar, Petro, James, and Graham.
Furthermore… picking up Hedos contract under the cap would mean that Nene can NOT be had for more than 11 million (roughly).
Possible, yes. Likely, probably not.
by KingofDenial on Dec 10, 2011 7:09 AM EST up reply actions
Right, since Nene didn't take 12 mil
the Nuggets offered, he isn’t going to take 11.
Its pretty much very unlikely the Nets can trade for Dwight and Hedo if they have Nene too.
Yeah
But if we have Dwight and Turk already.. I’d much rather turn that 11 mil into Hump and RJ/AK. We would need to fill out the roster.
by KingofDenial on Dec 10, 2011 7:23 AM EST up reply actions
agree completely
but the problem is, if we dont act soon, we could end up with no Nene, and no Dwight—unless he is so adement on becoming a Net that he just signs with us in 2012. And then in that case we get to keep Lopez too. Which would be insane.
IF and a BIG IF
you get Nene then defensive 3 is needed. With Marshon and Morrow.
The Nets have the biggest offer for Nene. Fegan wants his client paid the most. He’ll figure out a way to get it done, even if it means no D-12.
we think Nets have biggest offer... dont trust rumors anymore
and who is to say once Houston gets Pau, they decide to max our Nene
lets give the most annually as well this time around:)

Screw Nene concentrate all our effort on Howard
There’s no way to get both and overpaying an average guy like Nene is the worst move in the NBA (it never works out well).
Agreed, but they can't come away empty handed ....
It would almost ensure Deron walks barring some miraculous trade before the deadline
He is hardly "average"

He is average or slightly above it
Either way for 15m a year for 4 years (for a god damn 30+ year old player) is insane and will cripple this franchise for years.
Also to this is something I have against pretty much all Nets fans.
Why are you guys sooo convinced we have to do something just to do something in order to keep Dwill, Im sure he’d much rather wait with a slightly below average team and watch us hit the home run than overpay to be a top 6-8 team in the East with no chance to go any higher.
Im not gonna even talk about how many games we’ll get outrebounded with a Lopez-Nene frontcourt
by Adam Yablonka on Dec 10, 2011 7:14 AM EST up reply actions
`
Rebounding will be a problem if you don’t get an AK type small player. But this is a unique situation. Williams wont stay if this team doesn’t make the playoffs or is competitive. Its a risk but honestly a small one. You can still sign another max player and have at worst the second best 4-5 combo in the league.
Great scenario,
Wait out Dwight , don’t do so well that we land high pick( Barnes). We’d have Barnes , Brooks , Brook , maybe Dwill and and open option of Dwight.

Tell that the orlando media
Who thinks Bynum is way better than lopez via potential ceiling… Eveey1 is knockin Brook and dont even think his a valuable assett…
dude you have no idea what you are talking about
Nene has been in the league forever. And he is FINALLY living up to his hype. And its still a gamble to get him, but most of us are optimistic he can continue his recent dominance. Bynum has been in the league for a while now and has only shown glimpses of greatness. He is inconsistant, always injured, and statistically not a great rebounder along with Nene and Brook. They are all very talented, but what stands out is not necessarily their talent to me, its their ages and durability. And the fact that Lopez is so young and so talented AND so inexpensive (at least this last year of his rookie contract) he truly stands out as a very nice piece to add to a team looking to rebuild.
lmao
last week everyone was saying: oh chandler>nene
chandler wont demand much but nene will want the max. chandler is the only reason the mavs won a title, nene couldnt win with melo
now that chandler is getting about 18.5 mil from the knicks: “Oh chandler is overrated, who would pay that much for him? he’s not a star, dirk did all the work. Oh lets make sure we get Nene for about 14-15 mil just in case Dwight still wants to go to LA.”

What’s the procedure of signing amnestied players? Who gets first bids? Is it based on team records?
by kupalski on Dec 10, 2011 7:08 AM EST via mobile reply actions
It is..
But the question is.. how long do you have to bid? Does bidding end in 24 hours? 48?
by KingofDenial on Dec 10, 2011 7:12 AM EST up reply actions
How I think it works
teams under the cap, which would include the Nets, can bid for amnestied players. The team with the highest bid, can get the player, BUT must accept the remainder of the player’s contracts on their roster. While the player’s original team actually pays the player, the contract goes on the new team’s salary cap. That makes bidding on overpaid players difficult. Would the Nets want to put $9 million from RJ’s contract on their cap? No way. But if a player clears waivers, then he becomes an unrestricted free agent, like any other, free to sign anywhere.

are there any penalties if amnestied players arent willing to sign with the team that bids for them
I can see a players saying ,no no,no, to teams and clears waivers and sign wiith contenders.

by tugabk on Dec 10, 2011 7:09 AM EST reply actions 1 recs
It all comes down to:
1) WOuld Dallas actually trade Dirk?? (they would likely have to in order to make a competitive offer for Howard)
2) What package does Orlando like best? Bynum or Lopez? Will LA be able to still take on Hedo’s contract and does that matter to him?
3) How long will Nene wait around
4) Will Nene buy into Morey’s plan to pair him up with Pau over us?
Something important I haven't seen mentioned
If the Laker deal goes through for CP3, they will acquire an 11 million trade exception in the deal.. NECESSARY for the Dwight Howard deal. (Send the TE for Hedo, trade Bynum for Dwight).
Orlando probably has no interest in the aging Lamar Odom.. so the CP3 deal is necessary to facilitate the Dwight deal.
true.. but that is partially why many owners were opposed to the deal
they thought LA should have been punished for taking on Paul… as in taking on bad contracts
The trade was both dumb AND unfair
Hornets need youth (Bynum not Odom), and Lakers need to take bad contracts from Orleans (Ariza or Okafor), and more draft picks need to be sent.

If that CP3 trade goes through and Bynum is not a part of it...
Howard is going to the Lakers…
Only if they can still take on Turk
Without the TE from the first trade proposal, the Lakers don’t have any means to take Turk and offer cap relief in return.

Sign and trade with denver...
Nene signs for 5 yrs 70 mil and trade him for Petro… Nugs need size and need to fill a roster spot. This also helps nets because it clears more cap space and gives nene that 5th yr

Stop this Nene crap right now
Look at Lebron and Howard, both the Magic and the Cavs tryed to appease them by overpaying for solid guys and it never worked, Dwill wont wanna stay with a team where the ceiling is 6th seed.
Guys Im serious we’re making the worst move in franchise history we’ll remember the day we gave up on Howard despite having a very solid chance just so we can screw our cap space for years.
Cavs signed?
Who? Oh thats right they had Lopez like player. They had two first rounders in a boom draft.
Its a risk but if you plan on signing a player for nothing then your lost.
Nene is way better than

This is either trying to get Nene and Howard now, or Nene now, Howard later.
Let this thing unfold. This is cool offseason brinkmanship by BK.

No 1 is offering hump anything
They know he did good because of contract yr.. Plus he had kim, now he doesnt so he doesnt really have no to impress no more..
I guess we have to wait for Paul/LA to go down.. and then see what Orlando wants
Do they prefer Bynum or Lopez?
If Howard said we are his first choice and Orlando likes our package they will do the deal.
If Orlando wants Bynum or Howard wants LA s their first choice..we have to wait
The key in all of this is what happens to CP3. If Lakers aren't option for ORL ...
then ORL would have to attempt to trade Dwight before the deadline.
Might as well just Nene now.

How could Nets get Nene+Hump+ RJ?
I would put higher in getting Hump over RJ (once Nene is signed)
If Nets pay say $21 million for Nene+Hump there might only be about 2.25 million to offer for RJ.
Unless Nets could design offer to be larger in years 2 & 3 (must be 3 years total), I don’t think that would be enough.
That reminds me of the question as to why the Nets couldn’t wait another week to sign Marshon and save about 1/2 million in salary cap?
Howard or Blow it up and trade DWill
I am almost certain that somebody started that rumor about the alleged meeting to slow down the progress on Howard..it makes me sick to my stomach, don’t want Nene or RJ
by BKRenegade on Dec 10, 2011 7:24 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Howard VS Nene?
I guess I’d rather have Howard….DUH?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
AND I’d sign RJ to a two year deal for 12. But losing nothing and now one, and getting Nene wouldn’t be terrible either. I am just afraid of coming away with——————————NOTHING!
So Billy King, close these deals!
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
Going after Nene and Howard at the same time
gives better leverage against Orlando. The worst position is that they know our eggs are in one D12 basket. It may be that case actually but you don’t want them to know that.
Again what is so wrong with holding to what we have atm and waiting for the trade market to net us a much better player?

Pls give us namrs???
Who are these playets u speak of that is avaiable via trade that tms that like our assetts (petro, farmar)???
But it isn't Nene vs Howard
(It is Nene+2 1st round picks cash + Lopez + maybe MorrowFarmar+getting the bad contract of Turk) vs Howard!!
If we delay, then we may get nothing and DWill walks.
DWill would stay if we got Nene+Hump+RJ and then could add 2 players with the Nets exceptions.
Is it True Jan 1 is the date
for trade exceptions to expire and/or bird rights?
Players need to be with a team 6 months
In order to get Bird Rights.
So Paul and Howard need to be traded by then if they want the extra $ next year

Id be happy with Nene or Dwight.
But I really want to keep Lopez. I have a feeling he is really going to be offensively dominant playing next to Deron. And the only way to keep Lopez is with Nene (unless Dwight signs with the Nets in 2012 as a free agent).
So even though Dwight is much better than Brook or Nene, I really wouldn’t be disappointed if we ended up with Brook and Nene (if they can actually guard people… which is another concern..).

Lets not forget Pez’s mono . Brooks was looking the part at season end. If the team stays the same , I would expect 25ppg 8-9RBs.
If Dwill is smart, he’d let up find a good player and keep our assets. We are missing one star player( which is not Nene )

Yea i agree bro
I think Lopez is seriously underrated by Nets fans and the entire league. The dude has some amazing post moves.
Nene would be great with Howard
Nene is a fantastic second option as a big man. About 15 pts a game on 60% shooting with Dwight getting the pressure as the top guy.

There is no realistic plan to get both Nene + Howard.
We should worry about getting neither.

2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star

There would have to be No Bids for RJ among teams under the cap and then RJ would have to want to come to Nets.
That isn’t likely, hence Kerber says “outside” chance.
QUESTION: If the Nets do sign Nene
Can they still make the trade for Howard and have both (Nene and Howard) guys in their front court, or does a Nene signing mean the Nets are OUT on Howard?
Still POSSIBLE
But very improbable.. We need to get rid of Farmar and Petros contract.. Maybe even Morrows contract as well.
Look, anything is possible
but its less likely to happen if we have Nene on the roster. However, we could always flip Nene to a team like Detroit for picks and Rips expiring contract or to a team like the Wizards for a couple draft picks and a rookie/sophomore contract. But to keep Nene AND obtain Howard would be very difficult, and would really be most possible if Howard came via free agency.
could it be?
The hold up is they’re trying to squeeze in nene’s contract with the assumption that dwight is coming? Like he’ll get less money for first year and huge ones the following?

totally possible
and something i havent considered. And in the reverse Nene could get a huge first year bonus if Dwight assures that he will come via 2012 free agency. THAT now, is a very interesting idea. Both are, i mean, the whole readjusting contracts to make room, thats something we might all be overlooking.
let's be honest, do you really think after EVERYTHING that transpired today, we are NOW given "permission" to speak to the agent, that we'd give up on getting Dwight? "on the cusp"
is a negotiating tactic…or maybe not, if we’re able to get Nene and Howard..
King is not gonna give up on Howard and you better believe Dan Gilbert is not gonna let L.A get CP3 and D12…there will be no super teams created by trades..only 2 star teams..so when the smoke clears Howard will be ours….Yes I Love this Game

I dont know why that is so hard to understand. They have the same agent.
If they can get Nene now and Howard later, that would be ideal.

If we get Nene FIRST the Dwight trade becomes very difficult to pull off because we can not adsorb turks contract.
whose math?
these guys who are running the team are paid millions of dollars. they know how the math works.
Why would Dan Fegan continue to negotiate with the Nets on Nene and get permission from the Magic for the Nets to talk to him?

don't understand why the nets would want both players who plays the same position
basically has similar offensive skills with similar positioning required to be effective.
to me it wouldn’t be the right player to fit dwight….i think he needs a jump shooting PF who can play defense AKA Rashard Lewis with D….I think the Nene signing is gonna be a disaster
Moving Ammo-Farmar-Petro-Graham and amnestying Outlaw
Would give us roughly 18 mil more, right?
That gives room for Howard and Nene, AK and RJ on the cheap and go with that team
Dwill / Gaines
Brooks/Camp Invite
RJ/AK/James
Nene/AK/Jwill
Howard/Nene/Jwill
Financially, I think it can work.
There wont be a deal till Mon
They are going to wait until Paul gets dealt with and the Nba is going to want all the headlines being as they dropped the ball on the trade. Too much negative press this week.
Mon Dwight and Paul will be moved and take over the headlines.
If we sign Nene that means Dwight is going to the lakers.
BTW:
Lopez
Nene
Rj
Morrow
Deron
= a terrible rebounding team.
You need a AK47 in the middle of that lineup to help on defense and boards.
Stop this Hump
is comparable to Nene. There is a reason no one is offering him the same amount of money. He isn’t close to Chandler of Nene. Nene isnt DH but he is miles better than hump.

Again, if we get Nene we will be an average team in the playoffs, D-will will leave…..
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
With Nene we are likely to have 4 solid starters and a good bench, rookies with potential
and our 2 draft picks for next year. With Howard we have 2 stars , no bench and probably no draft picks, and we will lose 1 or 2 of Jwill, Marshon and D James.
Either way we will be good but with Nene we have flexibility, if we can land both then we can go the heat route and have solid older players to round out team.
We just can,t strike out.

This makes 0 sense on a few levels.
If we get Nene FIRST the Dwight trade becomes very difficult to pull off because we can not adsorb turks contract. If the trade becomes derailed and Dwight goes to Mavs, we may as well pack Deron’s bags for him for Dallas. Plus Dallas will have nothing to send back to us. I am very nervous that Mavs will offer Dirk..
If we get Dwight and Turk First something can be figured out to fit Nene.
NI is there a clause in the cba where teams can pay part of someones salary like in he MLB?
D-WILL>Mela
I believe a team can only pay 3 mil
For the entire year. 3 mil for ALL players they are sending cash back for. So we can, but not very much.
Can they break it up into 2 trades and give 6 million?
Trade 1 Lopez and 3 million for Dwight
Trade 2 picks and 3 million for hedo

Will make me feel 1000% better. Not sure why noone else is worried about Dirk and the Mavs otherwise..
They are one of the 3 teams Howard is interested in, and has permission to talk to.
However, Dallas has nothing to offer now that Chandler has been traded.
That wouldn't be a rebuilding move.
And who would be Orlando’s Center? Big Baby?
And why would Howard want to go to that team unless it could be guaranteed that DWill would join him?

NI, it just seems weird that we could have signed Nene at 2 PM yesterday, heck, even have that info leaked on Thursday if we wanted to
instead of dragging this out and then NOT trading for Howard until March..or signing him in the summer.
My feeling
It’s been quiet because it takes time to figure out all the complex financial details of signing Nene to a contract now, trading for Dwight, then signing both Dwight and Deron to new contracts this summer and fit everyone under the cap. Patience.

Precisely.
I also believe that Howard is appearing somewhat flakey. But I completely agree with your prognosis.

So we get nene and add RJ. Not really feeling Butler or AK-47 I honestly rather keep Outlaw or see what we can get in a trade. Josh Howard is the cheaper answer.

ive thought about it
and i want to stop thinking about the financial “setbacks” of the potential deals. is prokhorov willing to spend? yes. do i care about his money? not much. do i care about the nets? yes. spend away, comrade.
I'm sure this was brought up
Stephen A Smith(who i think is the best resource for NBA info) said that the Lakers vetoed trade for CP3 was going to help land D12 on the lakers too. CP3/D12 was on the verge of happening. Then when the deal was vetoed, D12 was so irate about the situation and that’s when his eyes shifted to the Nets. Like everyone knows already, the Lakers and Nets are the top two choices.
By the end of the segment, Stephen A Smith basically said that D12 to Nets is more than possible. And that the NYK had better watch out because the Nets may very well have a Juggernaut very soon.
Man…just get this done BK. If not, want to see resolution to all this as early as today or by the end of the weekend. It’s either LA or the Nets. Just get it done one way or another.
Nene is the top free agent out there
The lack of news on where he’s signing is suspicious. Seems like it is on hold to see if the Nets get Howard first since it would be easier to do a s&t for nene with Denver after getting Howard and turkoglu. Signing Nene first complicates the trade.
Since nene and Howard have the same agent, it makes a lot of sense.
With Williams, Howard, nene, morrow and whomever the SF is (turkoglu, RJ, AK), the nets are contenders in the east
normally in a situation like this
you could say the Nets are playing the two off against each other.

I worry about the shooting
Unless they embrace just being a ground and pound type of team. That seems to be the approach to beating Heat. Knicks are doubling down on size upfront. Mavs beat the Heat with size upfront. Etc.
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.
How does the stretch provision work?
If we were to sign Nene and need to readjust his contract what are the rules to doing this? This could be key in getting both Nene and Dwight.
You double the years left plus 1 year and cut the money in half. So is their are 3 yrs left at 15 mil a year (45 mil). You would have them signed for 7 years at 6.42 mil.
Key points and things we dont know
1) Deadline to amnesty players is December 16. and Deadline to trade Howard so he can re-up for 5 years is December 31.
2) Thus, I think we REALLY want to settle this soon… if we need to amnesty Outlaw, we need to know soon. Plus, if a Howard trade pushes the Magic under the cap, that makes them eligible for the amnesty lottery
3) Dirk has a no trade clause. He could consent to a trade. but I think it would only be to a contender. Think of this.. Cuban, who he respects says “Dirk.. we did it. You are my boy and I love you. But I want to get Deron.. and have to trade you Dont worry.. I’ll take care of you in your next contract and when your career ends. And I wont trade you to Minnesota…” Maybe Dirk allows that.. since he achieved his goal in Dallas (title)
4) What does Orlando prefer most? Bynum, Dirk, or Lopez? Or what can Dirk be flipped for to give Orlando? The ESPN idiots report the Magic dont like our Lopez pacakage. Then again, Broussard has no credibility anymore.
No way on earth I take dirk for deron.
We could find young talent and draft picks in say.. Sacramento.
The Mavs are not going to trade the Finals MVP period
particularly since Cuban let Nash go because he was too old. How’d that work out?

It would not be the nice thing to do, but it would be very smart.
Mavs are going to be screwed once Dirk slows down in 2 years and have no room to grow.

Dallas was probably old news before the Chandler signing.
Right now, the hold up is probably the CP3 trade. Dwight Howard probably said he wants to play with an elite point guard, Deron or CP3. LA makes the trade for CP3 and they’re an option, but if that falls through, or they end up giving up Bynum and/or draft picks.. Dwight is coming to town

Supposedly they signed this guy Williams so that pumps the brakes for Hump negotiating a fat deal.
I’d still like to bring him back for depth with the rook and Shelden ‘Parker’ Williams but
Billy King might want someone with more height/length to defend.

semi-important note? Chris Paul has a 15% trade kicker..
not sure if that matters but it would influence the LA cap situation
also, if Gilbert has any influence, he may make the NBA re-do the deal so the Lakers take on salary
I read somewhere it wouldn't kick
Because he isn’t allowed to make more money. Plus, I think you give up that kicker if you request the trade.

If the Nets have say 40 million in salary this year. 55 with Nene’s contract on the books. How much cap space will the Nets still have? How much would you have to remove to fit in some sort of Dwight trade without matching salaries?
Here is a thought..
If Nene needs to happen quick before he changes his mind… how about we sign him, and then sign Hump to a HUGE 1 year deal? This way we can still compete for Dwight by using the expiring contract of Hump at the deadline.
Would Hump agree to that?
Players want job security. They don’t wanna have to fight for another contract 1 year later
wow odom def gone.

And when RJ does get amnestied, I think he's our best option at SF. But if the Spurs don't find someone to replace him (Josh Howard is a possibility) they probably won't amnesty him at all

not even close
Did people watch RJ in the playoffs? He’s complete trash and a prima donna who believes he’s better than what he is. I wouldn’t even want him for the vets min.
AK all day.
I don't know if the Nets can get AK47 from Russia
But I do agree, AK47 is a better fit than RJ.
nothing will happen until Lakers deal goes through
then its a bidding war between LA and Nets for Howard
Orlando has no incentive to trade until they know what they can get from LA
I do think Lopez’s trade value isnt that high.. His poor rebounding last year and having not played on a winner is hurting a lot
They already know what they can get from LA
It’s always been Lopez or Bynum, everything else is just filler
then killa is right and we arent getting Howard
if they know they can get Bynum and arent jumping at Lopez, that means they prefer Bynum.
why not?
either the Magic want the Lopez package or want to see the LA Bynum package
If the Magic are convinced they want Lopez and Howard wants the Nets, no reason to drag it out
If the Magic prefer Bynum to Lopez.. of course they have to wait
now you get it
if they like the nets offer it won’t get better than what it is now. thing is its possible they don’t

Большой плюс для Нетс что контракт Байнума заканчивается через 2 года. А потом Орландо столкнется с точно такой же ситуацией как с Ховардом. А Лопеса они могут использовать в длительной перспективе.

2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.

My worry is that once the Lakers trade goes through, the Rockets can bid more for Nene
Hence their reasons for wanting to complete the trade. So why should we wait for that long?
We should have Nene signed today and look for other ways to grab Howard.

I don't even know why Dwight Howard to Mavs is considered some sort of possibility
Their best young player is… Beaubois. And he had an absolute terrible year last year
it isnt.. just on Dwight's "list"
he probably was asked or required to name 3 teams. Maybe in an ideal world he would go there.. gives some more credence to his desire to play with Deron at least
could be to drive up the price too

Come on, I never believed you to be a troll (first time I've actually typed that word), but you're really pushing it.
You’re better than this. I’m obviously referring to the second line.
my opinion is mine
I always said Dwight is a long shot. I’m not saying. “THE NETS SUCK.” “DWIGHT DOESN”T WANT TO BE HERE" “Its impossible.”
my opinion always been that it is likely he will be shipped out of conference. That it would be to a team that can give him everything he wants as soon as he gets there.
King himself has said he will try then move on. The season starts when? I don’t expect Nene to wait till dec 31 to sign a deal.
The Nets will try then move and look for other ways to compete.
Funny people were crying when Tyson went to Knicks and saying the Nets never get anyone but when we are likely to land our top free agent it’s bad news?

Asked Schuhmann if we can still do a Dwight trade if we sign Nene
Schuhmann:
Possible, yes. But 1 of Nets’ advantages is ability to absorb Hedo. Can’t do that + sign Nene.
If a Dwight trade is still possible… signing Nene as a security blanket might not be so bad
Plus...
If a potential (revised) Paul trade would provide the Lakers with a TE large enough to take back Turkoglu, that advantage is no longer exclusive to the Nets.
what stops us from getting all of them?
dwight nene and hedo, if mikhail is willing to spend? or is there a rule that stops it?

Schuhmann's also on the hold everything for Dwight camp
@johnschuhmann Do you think the Nets should sign Nene for now as a safety net if Dwight falls through? Or hold everything for D12?
@Muwu Hold everything.
Basically we have to wait for the Paul trade to go down. Hopefully soon
Then the other chips will fall (Nene and Howard)
I expect the Magic to move quickly..
If not, Nene to Houston could happen. I would thinK Nene at some point will feel he isnt really wanted here..will see Houston is all over him and go there
2 things about nene
-he claimed once he wasnt in it for the money necessarily (they all do)
-dont assume Houston wont offer the max… rumors are all BS at this point.. A nene/Pau front line would be hard for Morey to pass up and he wont

Deal done, source says. NBA is back.
-November 26th, 3:17 am.
It's very obvious things are on hold with Nene for a reason
Having the same agent, I’m sure they have an agreement in place, and are also interested in possibly playing on the same team. I don’t know how the math work, but get er done (wow that sounds like a Knicks fan).

could really help us
I was thinking Okafor and Paul for Bynum, Odom.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
I think if we sign Nene
it’s because Bk is convinced Dwight wont be traded before the start of the season and will most likely be traded at the deadline. In which case a sign and trade still works. I don’t care what anyone says the Nets have the best package to give and Orlando knows it.
So let Otis keep making small moves to try to get Dwight to stay and when it fails we’ll be ready at the deadline to take Dwight off their hands and make a run at the title :)
Here we go, throwing a scenario out there... no promises that it's good.
Four team deal:
ORL gets: Lopez, Bogdanovic, James, 2 first round picks
NJ gets: John Salmons, Nene, Dwight
DEN gets: Marshon Brooks, Jordan Williams
SAC gets: Hedo Turkoglu, Jordan Farmar, Johan Petro, 2014 first rounder
We end up with D-Will/Morrow/Salmons/Nene/Dwight and we could sign veterans for the minimum to fill out the bench.
thoughts?
That trade favors us too much
Orlando would have to get the best package since they are giving the best player away.
forget Howard.. do this 5 way deal
to Nets- Kevin Martin, Lamar Odom (sign Nene)
to Orlando- Bynum,
to New Orleans- Odom, Marshon Brooks, Brook Lopez, #1 pick from Houston in 2012 (now unprotected),
to Houston- Pau Gasol, Anthony Morrow
to LA- Paul, sign Howard, Hedo
we would have:
pg- dWill
sg- Kevin Martin
sf- James/?
pf- Scola
c- nene
i'd still pass
dWill/farmar
morrow/Marshon
RJ/outlaw
Nene/shelden williams
Lopez/petro
is a much better team
disagree
I think Scola and MArtin are great players..add them to DWill and we can have something really good…

Arenas was amnestied already

You're not hearing me. Picking him up off the waivers = taking a chunk of ORL money that they owe.
So if we would bid for him for 5 mill. ORL would not have to pay those 5mill during his contract.
Just a thought to sweeten the deal !!!
really dont want rj he plays no defense, ever since he left the nets
hes been trash… how does he opt out of his original contract, thinking he was gonna get more money and then signs for less, and now hes about to get amnestied… let him sign with dallas. that way the original big three can rub each other down with bengay lol

Not to mention
Prokhy’s plan for worldwide marketing and branding. They may look at Nene has being able to open up the team and its players to open up a whole new, big country—perhaps even all of South America to the marketing.

Think Back
Avery won a championship with a dominant frontcourt. they are trying to have a frontcourt that can compete against the powers.
but why would Dwight want this when this trade would most likely happen near the trade deadline
when Dwight stands to lose money if its after the January date for him?
I don't get it
I don’t see why no one has suggested signing Humphries. It still leaves us cap space to complete the trade, and we’d still be a good team. Nene for more than 10 million extra isn’t worth it if we can’t get Dwight. Or at least David West would be viable.

RE: Stephen A. Smith
Earlier in the week during his 7pm show on 1050AM Espn New York, Stephen was talking out of the blue about Tyson Chandler going to the Knicks. I was like, “What? Stop trolling you audience. Knicks don’t have the cap space to sign Chandler.” I wrote it off as Stephen just trying to stir up his naive audience for entertainment value. Less than 48 hours later, Chandler was reported to be going to the Knicks. Stephen was right, after all. And last night on his show, he said he was asked by his source not to reveal WHY he was talking about Chandler possibly going to the Knicks the night before, just that he was free to talk about it abstractly; hence, why I wrote it off.
Fast forward to last night. Stephen was talking about the possibility of the Nets getting both Nene and Dwight. I posted here last night that Stephen was again trolling his audience. Maybe history will repeat itself. Stephen is amazing because, at least for me, I can’t tell when he’s got inside info and slyly alluding to what he knows w/out betraying his confidentiality agreements with his sources, and when he’s just stirring the pot for entrainment value. But the guy undeniably has great sources.
All in all, what he was saying last night was very encouraging for us.
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.

So unlike other analysts at the network, who often talk about fictional drivel like it’s fact, Stephen A seems to sprinkle in facts but presenting it like hypotheticals….very interesting.

Get Nene first and trade for Dwight eventually. Do whatever it takes!
Question to NI: If the Lakers trade goes through...
Then the Rockets would have enough to sign Nene. right? So that trade would set off a chain reaction of deals that could lead us to Howrad or having Nene or neither.
When do you think we’ll see all of this happen?
Ahhh good morning everyone
just woke up. Needed to get some rest last night to prepare for another 18 hour day on Netsdaily.
It all Brook's fault!
If he didn’t let Howard dominate him so badly the magic would have a better impression of him.

RJ would be a good fit here
Being the 4th/5th option would allow him to focus on defense.
Would Orlando trade for a suspended Bynum?
Or would they wait until his suspension is over? Not sure if it really makes a difference, but just remembered he’s out the first five game.
There should be a rule you can’t trade a suspended player.

Here is a question
Why don’t the Rockets just send Scola, Dragic, Martin, and Lee/Williams for CP3? Same trade as the Laker one, except they turned Odom into a young guy.
They can then sign Nene, make a run, and try to convince CP3 to stay. If he leaves, they rid themselves of some bad contracts and can start over under the cap, and with Nene.
No way the Laker deal as proposed is “the best” they could get.
WoW
can’t believe Nene is waiting on these super deals.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
I’m really starting to believe that he wants to join us. He want to be part of the Dwill-Howard big 3.

makes more sense for Dwight to go NJ. Deron will make the game easier and he has never played with a real point guard. Dream told Dwight he needs a real PG. In LA the offense runs through Kobe first. Kobe was upset that Bynum wanted more touches during the exit interviews. NJ makes more sense for Dwight and getting better. LA makes sense if he wants a reality show with drama on and off the court.

C'mon King, from Al's piece
It may not be what their fans want them to do, but the Nets have to do something to appease Deron Williams. That’s what everything is about for the Nets – getting players that make them a winner and gets Williams to sign a five-year extension next summer.
You got that right it’s not what the fans want
Youre right but its not like its Nene or Howard or bye bye Deron
There are other ways of getting top notch guys, we dont have to sign an average player in order to appease our star.

Dwill / Gaines
Brooks/Camp Invite
RJ/AK/James
Nene/AK/Jwill
Howard/Nene/Jwill

Dwight and Deron both specifically said they want to play with him.

Excellent value for his contract. He’s young and only going to get better.
And oh yeah, Dwight and DWill want to play with him.
I agree with the value for contarct and know the guys like him
but he’s a player thers will want and lowers our cap room.
Don’t wanna see him go but if it has to be done and you get Deron, Dwight and Nene…..
I think they’ll live with it and take their chances with Brooks.
I've figured out how they can get both Nene and DH
The problem is Hedo’s contract, right? So, Hedo walks away from his contract, leaving us with the cap space to sign Nene. Why would he do that? Because he just signed with CSKA for $50 mil. Then David Stern has an aneurysm.

Best news I can hear today..
Bynum + draft picks for Chris Paul
I won’t have to hear anymore dumb explanations as to why the first deal was so good, and I will be 99% certain Dwight will be coming to NJ (and no one will complain about the NBA “letting” him come here)
DH or Nothing
Sorry, but I’m not convinced that any available C (other than DH) is an upgrade over Brook. And I like Hump if he can be retained at a reasonable rate. When I read all these posts about the Nets focusing on big men, I keep thinking “did anyone watch the Nets last year?” Brook and Hump were the Nets two best players. The Nets don’t have anyone on the wings that deserves (from either on offensive or defensive perspective) to be starting on a good NBA team. Morrow is a nice piece, but unless you have a superstar defender, he’s too much of a liability to warrant more than 20 mins a game. If the Nets get DH, then I suppose this may all be worth it, as he is a transcendent force. But if they don’t get him and settle for someone like Nene, I fear the Nets will remain a thoroughly ordinary team. And I’m not sure Deron re-signs with an ordinary team.
And on a related topic, how much does it suck that Lopez, who has been a pretty fantastic player, has to go through this. He is a total class act. If/When he does leave the Nets, whenever he returns, I hope he gets a standing O. He’s been one of the best/classiest players the Nets have had in ages.

1. The team that stole your all time best player
2. The team that beat you in the finals
Besides the fact that we have a better package. 2 Picks, Brook, and cap room for Dwight and Hedo. and I am sure if it came down to it they could have any 2 of Boggs, Brooks, DJames, and Jordan WIlliams.

dan fegan, agent of nene and dwight
hes supposed to do whats best for all of his clients..
client 1: wants out of orlando (possibly only to nets but not confirmed so well leave that out)
client 2: wants a decent situation and a big contract
why not drive up the price for client 2 while also working to get client 1 where he wants to go?

the deal for cp3 still has houston. Which means pau is going out not bynum. LA isnt sending out both bynum and Gasol.

They would
Totally get rid of Bynum for Howard if they had too.
I saw this al ittle while ago.....
The Magic have had talks with the Nets and the Lakers about a potential trade, but talks with the Lakers have fizzled recently, sources said. ESPN.com
Plus somebody earlier mentioned about Steven A Smith talking about Nene AND Howard to the Nets. Remember he was the only one last year saying that LBJ and Bosh were going to join Wade in Miami plus also said earlier about Chandler going to the Knicks. He is NOT like Chris Broussard, he does have inside info I believe.
Yeah but he also said that DH chose nets because he was disgusted by cp3 trade void..he said he wanted to pair up with cp3 in LAL
Now that trade is back on..he may be contemplating that again..thus further delay
which is why I see us moving on
Dwight could be waiting on the Lakers see what move they make

If we seriously upped the Nene offer to 4 years, $70 million

Exactly.
They’d be losing Dwight solely for the benefit of removing Hedo and Rodrigue Beaubois.
Not a threat at all.
I have a question though. Do we have anything besides Deron that Cuban would want to get him to help orchestrate both Nene and Dwight to NJ with that TPE?

His eyes are on Williams or Howard — that’s why he appears to be letting all of his free-agents go.
There’s no way he’d help the Nets orchestrate a deal and effectively end the chance of getting either.
He wouldn't be needed for that part of the deal.
Think of it as two separate pieces.
Nets Trade Brook and Picks to Orlando for Hedo and Dwight.
Nets trade Hedo+ to Dallas for Nene
I was wondering if we had anything that could get Cuban to take Hedo off our hands.

Agents make considerably less from contract negotiation than they do through endorsement deals. Sure, he can get a few more dollars from Nene’s deal with the Nets but the idea of putting him in this market instead of Denver will make him a much richer man.

WTF?!?!? 70 million?!?
Please tell me that’s a joke…
another scenario...no TURK
Nets may be using this at leverage. I ran the numbers yesterday and it worked (Nene starting at $16mil)
Nets sign Nene this offseason, and fill out the roster with 1 year deals or flexible contracts.
Next summer the Nets could add Dwight via free agency if Farmar opts out (which is likely) and Nets pair Petro with a draft pick and/or James/Brooks.
Nets would be able to keep Deron, Morrow, either Lopez OR Nene (they would need to find team with cap space to take him if they decide to go the Lopez route), and sign Dwight.
Yea like i said before
Believe nothing until its official..hopefully all this is BULL…and we get dwight

Plus leaves open a small possibility for Dwight, but the possibility for striking out is eliminated.

Howard after yesterday's practice
At the end of the press conference, one reporter asked Howard if he had the "faith and patience" to give the Magic more than one year to rebuild their team. Howard paused and directed the question back at the reporter.
"Do you have enough faith and patience?" Howard said. "I’m asking you."
The reporter responded, "Not the way it stands right now."
Howard nodded his head and said, "Okay. Does anybody else have any questions?"
Overall, Howard was very noncommittal about his future in Orlando and dodged question after question about the topic. Howard was donning a hat that read "Orlando" but he didn’t use this opportunity to put the departure talk to rest and commit to the team. Let the rumors continue.

Reading between the Lines
Morrow will be a Net. Both Dwight and D Will have gone out of their way to praise him
S Williams will be a Net this year. He just signed a contract and cant be traded for 3 months.
Nene will be a Net this year. Houston reporter leaked that he has a 60 mil contract done with the Nets. Houston has already made Dalembert their backup plan.
Dwight Howard will be a Net this year. He met with Proky and Proky only makes offers you cant refuse. The only thing is that Hedo comes with him BUT
Hedo will not be a Net this year. Fegan is the agent for both Nene and Howard and want them both in Brookln market. Hedo has 3 years and 34 mil left on his contract and would make it impossible for the Nets to have him, Nene and Howard which is why
Hedo will be a Nugget
Petro will be a Nugget
Hump will be a Nugget
D James will be a Nugget
Bogdanvic will be a Nugget next year
The Nuggets don’t want to just let Nene leave for nothing. They are already without K Mart, W Chandler, JR Smith til at least Feb. They need to fill out their roster. They will Amnesty Al Harrington and then do a sign and trade, Nene for Hump(S&T), Turk’s bad contract, Damion James and Petro. They have the Cap space to eat Turk and in return they get 2 1st rounders (D James, Bogdanvic), a dirty work player Karl will love in Hump, and a player who knows the system Petro.
Lopez will be a Magic

They are way under the cap
Look at their roster if they make this trade
Mozgov / C Anderson / Petro / Koufas
Hump / Faried
Gallinari / Turk / D James / Bogdanovic in ’12 or ’13
Afflalo / J Hamilton
Lawson / A Miller
Miller is an expiring contract. He will prob be traded some time this season. They have a boat load of draft picks from the Melo trade. They are obviously building for the future so getting a young PF in Hump and two prospects in James and Bogdanovic might entice them to take Turk. Turk makes sense espially because his game is similar to Gallo’s and Gallo has a bad back.

no offense but you are extrapolating way too much
only certainty after all this is over is:
DWIll will be a Net to start the season
You cant believe media reports/rumors. I wouldnt rule out Houston on Nene.. and maybe they do max him out.. who knows? Maybe Dalembert is Plan B if Nene goes to NJ.
A team that signs and trades will not take on horrible deals.. bad enough they lose a player.. then they have to take on one of the worst contracts in the NBA n Turk?? No way…
Just because Nene and Howard share an agent doesnt mean they are both coming here. This is a game of dominos. The first domino is the Paul to LA trade. then we see what happens from there

When IncarceratedBob said that Dwight to the Nets was definitely going to happen, he did mention in parenthesis that no agreement would be announced until Monday. Which makes sense because thats when the league offices open again.

I don’t think top 2 in the East is much of a stretch. I’d take that team over Chicago, Boston, and NY. Obviously, it is very unlikely we put together this kind of starting lineup (Dwight, Nene, and RJ)

Orlando believes the Nets’ package of Brook Lopez, two first-round picks and a willingness to take back Hedo Turkoglu’s three-year, $34 million contract is not enough compensation for Howard.
Give them Farmar, Marshon, and Bogdanovic then

by domininaldo1981 on Dec 10, 2011 12:04 PM EST up reply actions
Part of the issue is what the Nets gave up for DWill
They gave up Harris (former All-Star), Favors (potential star, 3rd overall pick) and 2 1st rounders. Now looking at the cap space relief aside, Lopez and 2 1st Round picks might not be enough.
If it takes adding Farmar or even Brooks to get it done, I’d do it.
Question...
What is more likely…
1. Trade brook (another guy like farmar, djames) and picks for dwight and hedo. Sign nene?
Any of those?
I love the lineup of
Dwill
Morrow
Hedo
Nene
Howard.
Is that possible or would we have send hedo somewhere?
2. Sign and trade nene and picks and djames for dwight and hedo. Keep brook
3. Three team deal where we just get back hedo

Here's the thing...
It’s coming down to us versus the Lakers versus Houston for Nene or Dwight.
As it stans, we’ve got no competition from Dallas. But we’ll have to see if Dwight wants out seriously. If we mess this up, we’re screwed.. Luckily, we have Dan Fegan on our side—that’s pretty much it.

I think there is delay because Otis is trying to stall hoping for a 3 team trade to get more assets for Dwight Howard. In the end it will end up costing the nets another player or pick…plus can’t prok offer somewhere between 3 million and 6 million in cash in a trade? I’m sure money will be changing hands as well.

There were varying reports yesterday as to when Otis granted that permission to Fegan, but nonetheless it appears that Otis and Alex are not on the same page. It doesn’t take too much of a stretch to see that this might be where the two "camps" split.
Let me be clear that I have no official word on who in the front office is for or against trading Dwight Howard, but I do have word from a trusted source that the strife in the organization is real.
Orlando is done....seriously speaking..i wouldnt' mind DH playing out the year in Orlando
then we’ll have Dwight AND Brook…that’ll probably dominate the league for the next 7-8 years
likely March
I think they will see what they have right now on the table. we already know they don’t like the Nets offer. They will see what’s up with the Lakers offer. If they like it they will take it. if not they will wait and let the season go on.

The three suitors are NJ, DAL, LAL
NJ can get rid of Hedo now with no negative side effects
LAL would have to give them other bad contracts
DAL is not a serious option

mavs pulling our stratergy? by making deron and d12 together in dallas?? good luck with that…..that is y we need to trade for d12 at any cost cause if these goes to free agency dwill and d12 will def play in dallas….
I think, since last week, that we got a clear path at Dwight. Moreover if he wants his bird rights, Dwight has to be traded before december 31st. We should see, in my opinion, Dwight in a Nets jersey by that date.
our season starts december 27th though

is taking back less contracts, getting extra picks, and younger players…then yes I think he has to accept the trade.
LA may be forced to take back equal salary which will probably hinder their ability to get a trade exemption. Which means Orlando would not be able to send Turk…and save cap space. But maybe Orlando doesn’t even care about clearing cap space…they just signed more free agents?

Honest assessment guys... how long do you think Nene will hold out?
I think something has to go down tomorrow. Our competition for Nene is Denver (who could always up the ante) and Rockets. The Nuggets could always screw us over but the Rockets are in a holding pattern until this in done.
The Union wants a reworked deal by Monday—so something will get out by then. It just has to. So once that happens, our moves will have to be made.
as long as we need him too
regardless of what happens with Howard, WE WILL PAY HIM HIS MAX CONTRACT OF 15.5MILL PER YEAR.
So no worries. He wants to come to us, period.

Lets say Dwight plays out the season in Orlando, same as Dwill with us.
Can we use the cap space created by Dwill’s contract ending on Dwight and than go over the cap to sign Dwill to a max deal?
No...

would it make more sense to sign Nene now, and then trade for dwight, or trade for dwight and then sign Nene?
Probably the latter
There was talk about Nene being a S&T, which makes no sense unless we’re functioning as an over the cap team, needing to send out approx. $9-$10mil in salary to be able to take back a starting salary of $14-$15mil.
I thank Nene for waiting for us, most players wouldnt do that

what Nets CAN do...
is clear enough space so that the only contracts on the books for 2012 would be Nene or Lopez cap hold, and maybe a minor contract like Morrow/Brooks.
Then Nets would have enough under cap to sign both DWill and Howard.
So Nets core for summer of 2012:
Howard
Deron
Lopez or Nene
Morrow/Brooks
This is why the Nets have leverage now. The problem is that Dwight would have to take less money to sign in 2012. The team that has him Jan. 1st will have the ability to add the 5th year and give slightly better raises.
This is crazy
We as fans have to understand the GM point of view on this. D12 is Orlando’s money maker, people come to the games to see him. Otis is trying to do everything possible to either try to make him stay or get something in return to assure him that the team is making a good choice. Cant blame him for hanging on the way he is. As a Net fan Im hoping to see him wearing No.12 with the name Nets going across but when have to let this play out. Think about it this way, if D- Will was leaving wouldnt we all try our best to hang out to him? Hell yeah because we are doing it now. Sources to me take any little thing they get and make it a story just to get hit or credit. My opinion D12 will be a Net but if not I would take NeNe then trade for J smoove and possible Josh McRoberts.

Dont blame them for that

He only started 9 games. And only played 43 games total at 23 minutes a game. He missed nearly half the season and when he did player he wasn’t healthy. If I remeber right he had a shoulder injury and some other problems.
CDR was the starter for the start of the year, and T Will towards the end. I guess another forgetable player got a chance too.

According to SA Smith of ESPN, the CP3 deal was killed because of the potential of D12 going there as well.
Which means any CP3 Revised-deal will not leave space for D12 to LA.
With Dallas not able to do a trade this year, basically it’s the NETS.
I have a feeling that ORL really doesn’t want B-Lo, so BK is working the phones to find the 3rd or 4th team to get the best suitable package for ORL.
D12 is Brooklyn bound. His only option would be via free agency, and no not even the religious D12 will NOT leave 25+ mill on the table. If anything he will give that to the poor, but not to nobody.
thing is BK is on the clock
lets say that is the case how long till he finds something Orlando will want. I mean if they are not sold on Brook Lopez what else will it take?
So right there it seems that Orlando has no interest in a young player with potential. So this makes me think they want a competitive team that will keep fans buying tickets.
the Nets offer would help them rebuild but honestly has Orlando said that was even the case??

The Lakers are so deep into the Luxury tax

Kobe is due to make $28mil next season alone!! Pau 19mil, Odom 9mil, Bynum 15mil, (Artest) 7mil, Fisher 3.5, Walton 6mil
I thought they would have some sort of trade exemption?
If no trade exemption to absorb Hedo, then no way ORL trades Howard for Bynum.
Also if Howard isn’t traded before start of season, everyone will find out how overrated Bynum is when he can’t play back to backs.
I really think Stern (and owners) are dead set against letting Lakers get BOTH CP3 and Howard.
And ORL would rather not deal with Lakers again.

Brook has a better jumpshot
Dwights the better dunker, offensive rebounder, and bigger threat on the inside to let the outside shooters have open shots.
Brook is far more skilled
But Dwight thrives on his freakish athleticism. Keep in mind that Brook has been in the league for only 3 years. It took Dwight 4 years to average 20 PPG. Brook was able to do it last season. Really a matter of who you prefer. There’s no question that Dwight is a far better overall player though.

70% confident we’re actually going to pull the rabbit out of the hat that is Nene + Howard.
At this point, I think most of us can just check in every few hours and see if the headline is there.
i'm the opposite
90% we get Nene… 70% we also get Dwight… or maybe more like 70, 40. i can only have so much optimism as a Nets fan

@ESPNSteinLine & myself have been told by sources that new CP trade btwn LAL, NO & Hou has been submitted to NBA office for approval
8 minutes ago via Echofon
The Devil will be in the details.
Will LA be getting a TE that they could use to absorb Turk’s salary or even to sign Dwight as a FA in the summer?

I am convinced the first rejection had to do with Owners fearing Dwight would be next.
We can thank Broussard for announcing that to the world every 30 minutes on ESPN on Thursday.
Broutard
Don’t yet have details of changes to proposed trade, but league wanted NO to get more draft picks & youth & maybe for LA to take back more $
At the very least this will deplete LA's asset for a trade
I think it’s up to Otis at this point. Dwight wants either LA or NJ.

Nets get DH.

My understanding is they cant be used in place of players in a trade
The mavs could use their exception from new york to get hedo. Cant be combined with players. Basically a one for one trade.
What if the hold up with the Nets Orlando trade is that the Magic want Bynum and parts instead of Lopez. Maybe King is waiting for the CP3 deal to complete. With the new info that the Lakers portion of trade has changed, maybe Bynum is going to the Rockets instead of Pau. King can then spin off Lopez to the Rockets for Bynum.

The poll should say which young player is MORE Valuable.
That would take into account Bynum’s medical issue and bad attitude.
There are SO many problems with that poll that it's nearly worthless
the biggest of which is that the whole country follows the Lakers, which are on national TV all the time, the Nets haven’t sniffed a national game in years (except the 1 NYK game this past season)
I hate to sound negative but the Lakers are impossible to compete with in this situation
How many times have you seen them pull off the deal for the big name player? Theyre the Yankees of the NBA with an even more obnoxious fanbase. Their front office is too savvy, they’ll sell Otis Smith a dream, and then Bynum will be in a suit cheering for Big Baby on the sidelines 60 games a year. Woj reported yesterday that Dwight is “waffling” between the nets and the lakers. Which probably means he is waiting for the lakers to get cp3 before demanding he be traded there, and otis will be happy about that.

Heard it might be Okafor. Even if not, wait for the follow-up deal. RT @JBlack25: this deal leaves LA with no PF.
How does this take them out of Dwight Sweepstakes?
Okafor is solid.. would give them another chip.
That leaves us and.....?

Bynum for Howard as first feal
Okafor for Turk as second deal
Which would be a horrible deal you would basically have 20+ million of your cap for your C and back up C or starting PF
Okafor has no offensive game and would be a horrible PF and Bynum is always hurt so Okafor is basically there C
Killa just calls it as he see's it
I got no problem with it. No one is a “Pessimist”, its all opinion
I thought Bynum was in the deal to NO? I thought Odom was left on LA?

Not likely to happen.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
they got rid of Pau
who was a main offensive threat and replaced him with Okafur who is a solid Defensive player.
You then add one of the best PG’s in the league.
Pau didn't look great in the playoffs.
Bynum and Okafor shores up their D. Paul makes player Bynum for example better on O.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Bynum wont stay healthy all season
So in reality its just Paul Kobe and Okafor. Okafor is overrated IMO. So its just Paul and Kobe.
ugh
Deron, Dwight, Morrow, Brooks, Hedo (lol) and Graham (joke) would make a nasty team.

its basically

yes
I called him and he is a knicks fan at heart and i was telling him how i hope the Nets get this done and his gut instint and what he has been hearing is that Howard will be a Net along with Nene
The best scenario
Lakers get Okafor and give up Bynum to NO.. that would def take them out of Howard sweepstakes..
that's a shame. You can learn a tell of general facts on Wikipedia.
don’t trust the teachers that are skeptical of it. it works.
Dr. J~Super Buck~Draz~JKidd~Deron
trade exception
Traded Player Exception: If a team trades away a player with a higher salary than the player they acquire in return (we’ll call this initial deal “Trade #1”), they receive what is called a Traded Player Exception, also known colloquially as a “Trade Exception”. Teams with a trade exception have up to a year in which they can acquire more salary in other trades (Trade #2, #3, etc.) than they send away, as long as the gulf in salaries for Trade #2, #3, etc. are less than or equal to the difference in salary for Trade #1. This exception is particularly useful when teams trade draft picks straight-up for a player; since draft picks have no salary value, often the only way to get salaries to match is to use a trade exception, which allows trades to be made despite unbalanced salaries. It is also useful to compensate teams for losing free agents as they can do a sign and trade of that free agent to acquire a trade exception that can be used later. Note this exception is for single player trades only, though additional cash and draft picks can be part of the trade.

Coon is a salary cap guy
He doesn’t look at it from a “would they do that” perspective, but a “could they do that” perspective.
It is still possible for them to trade for Howard under this CBA, but he didn’t assess if an amicable deal could be reached.

getting tired of ESPN always downplaying
the Nets. They always talk negatively or in a tone that writes them off. And the producers are in on it. There was a recent newscast about Howard possibly going to the Nets, but then the guy started talking about how much better a fit the Lakers are etc. and the backround music immediately started to pick up and be more optimistic and energizing. Its really absurd. Certain teams basically own espn.
johnhollinger John Hollinger
Seems to me that only way this deal could be revised is to put Bynum in for Odom and send Okafor back to Lakers
and Okafor would be great in a Lakers uniform
Id argue hes better than Bynum since he actually plays and is a better rebounder and defender. So Lakers would be stupid not to do that move. Okafor is solid.
like i said..
just waiting on La to grow some and pull off a deal then Howard is a Net!!
Orlando
would never want Odom and who??? There 26th pick in the draft!!
Lakers have there team if they do this!!!
Leaving Howard to come to NJ
only way Dwight goest to the Lakers
is if they could flip Odom for a Josh Smith or Marc Gasol AND picks every other year for the next 6 years. No way Magic want Demur Scrotum.
Then
If Orlando continues playing games we say listen that rockets pick that you would get is now taken off the table. Play hard ball with them.
This HAS to happen now
I’ve been following closely but haven’t been able to keep up enough to post (I don’t know how you guys do it) but now that the CP3 trade is going to be approved, NJ and Orlando will find a way to make this happen.
I think they include Houston to unprotect the pick and get them a signed and traded Hump.

i just threw him in to get salaries to match + ORL will need bigs

Orlando will look TERRIBLE is they trade Dwight for Bynum
1- Orlando loses superman to LA AGAIN
2- Bynum will be injured A LOT
3- Bynum must still serve out a suspension, in a short season too
4- Bynum looked good on defense(mediocre in my opinion) only b/c that’s his main responsibility in LA. If he’s required to carry a team on offense, then he’ll be worse than Lopez on D, knowing his body is going to break down he won’t even try
5- Bynum makes big money, Lopez can be had for 4.1mil next season, Bynum 16.5mil (HUGE difference)
6- The Orlando fans will watch Lopez develop into a 25/9 all-star (getting paid 4.1mil) and see all the players they COULD have had if they only took the picks NJ offered, while Bynum will walk after next season if he hasn’t filed for medical retirement by then and Orlando will be stuck with 2nd rnd picks in weak drafts
just like Denver is looking bad now (and will look worse) knowing what Utah got from us, a starting front court a Favors and Kanter, on the cheap for YEARS to come, and an all-star PG on a good contract, compared to reading news about Wilson Chandler in China…
Orlando even with Dwight at the moment
don’t look great. Imagine a lineup of Bynum/Davis/Turk/Reddick/Nelson. That wouldn’t even be a playoff team.
