Did Magic Violate Lockout Rules?
When reporters asked Dwight Howard Sunday about whether the Magic had rejected any specific suggestions of his, he replied, "We had long talks, throughout the summer...very long talks. That's all I can say."
Unless those talks were prior to July 1, that would appear to be a violation of lockout rules which forbid any contact between teams and players or their agents. (Click headline for video.)

If so. .maybe this negates our tampering? :)
or the NBA will punish us and Orlando and hand deliver him to LAL

Accusing us of tampering
And they go on to violate league lockout rules themselves, smh……… I wonder if dwight revealed this on purpose to spite orlando and land them a big fine for not trading him.
I wouldn't be surprised
If otis takes a garbage deal from the lakers just to spite howard
You don't trade away your franchise guy for garbage
And handicap your franchise for the next few years out of spite… Otis may be dumb but i doubt he does this..
Have you not seen Otis Smith body of work?
Orlando would be foolish to keep Dwight and improve their record when they can (s)tank this season and get a high pick. Otis is dumb enough to do so.

Going to the Lakers is hardly a bad option...
But Otis is not a good guy to be dealing with.

Eric Gordon isn’t included in a revised Clippers-New Orleans deal for Chris Paul, league source tells Y! Sports.
LAL offer was better…

that deal is awesome
The Hornets could have two top 5 picks in this year’s loaded draft. I would have said yes as soon as I heard that the NBA was including that pick

No so much
Kris kaman , Eric Bledsoe , picks and others is not bad.
Also , the 2 franchises that always put itself back on the map is the Hornets and the Magic.

if the twoles pick is
top 3 then its a great trade for the hornets
and bledsoe

Are you kidding me? LAL was wa better, waht a robbery...
If that’s true, the Cippers become instant contenders, their lineup is crazy.

And Gordon, Griffin and Jordan are so young that we can’t even imagine where is the limit for this team.

Also note before no comment, then he comes out and says he wants a trade to the media but its non ones fault and he’s talked to the president and they’ll help eachother. Granted he said not happy with hi, bus inputt yesterday no relationship with Ottis really threwhim under the bus. Also the dya before he said they’d talked during the summer and specified it was before and after the lockout but not yesterday.He’s trying to forced ORL to make there move.

It's good that Fegan likes us so much...
But I wonder why? Do we have a long history of helping him out.
Netsdaily tweeted he represented 9 Nets in last 2 years
So he definitely has a good relationship with our franchise considering how much we helped him get paid..
The best is yet to come ..... in Brooklyn
He wants a good relation with the richest owner in the place that is going to be like “out of this world”
Fegan's Nets clients in past two years
Yi Jianlian, Courtney Lee, Jarvis Hayes, Eduardo Najera, Kris Humphries (new agent this summer), Troy Murphy, Rafer Alston, Stephen Graham, Joe Smith.

NI...
Do you know if owners can do outside business deals with players and/or agents?
Maybe Proky told Dwight he can make him a billionaire like LBJ. Maybe Proky has plans to do business with Fegan.
no they cannot without it counting as compensation

Even if either teams tampered, he probably know’s where he wants to play.
Feels good to be back
Orlando does not want to trade Howard...
They will drag this out until the season starts, then say they do not want to distract their team with Howard trade talk. They will wait it out like Denver did.
Meanwhile the Nets sit in limbo…
I wonder what the Nets will eventually do ? Sign Nene and move forward or wait ?
Nah, I think he'll go now
Fegan and BK will push for it behind the scenes.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
yes, that's obvious, the best deals are always at he deadline...
… but there is a catch, we don’t know what they want, but if it’s cap space, they have to deal right him now…. And we can offer them tons of cap space, and the best young Center in the league to replace Howard.
Otis made the Big Baby and Richardson moves to convince Howard to stay, but now that he said he wants out, that moves are looking bad for some people saying that may obligate Otis trade for the present and get aluable players so they can continue in the playoffs. But the signings were solid, Otis hasn’t overpayed them, so he can trades them when he wants, and go for rebuilding right now. The Front Office may obligate Otis to rebuild, because they know even if they get Bynum and Gasol they are going nowhere and will be stuck with the giant Gasol contract. Orlando has been spending tons of money the past years and for nothing, I don’t think they will want to continue to spend big buckets knowing they are going nowhere, besides the playoffs… and they still have to pay Arenas giant contract.
When I saw the Lakers turning to Dwight I became scared and thought that Gasol, Bynum and Odom would be a great package for Dwight, but looking better, they already gived up one great asset in Odom, Gasol has a giant contract and is getting old, and Bynum is injury prone.
Lopez and tons of cap space are beter offer, right now, my fear is that Otis, screw us by not letting Howard goes where he wants, and because of the tampering against us.

Come on man
you can’t believe everything Broussard says.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
If Howard really wants to come to the Nets...
he can become a Net. He might have to become a free agent to do it but he still can come to the Nets…The money he will lose by becoming a free agent probably can and would be made up down the road… Wink..wink.
But to throw away the season on a whim...
That’s a waste for Orlando and for us. You never know what’s going to happen.
Time for Dwight to let it be known that it will be Nets this year or next year...
No Lakers, Mavs or any team but Brooklyn!
If he says that and means it...
then Howard will probably be a Net.
But if Howard agrees to go to Laker, Bulls etc. the Nets would have to move on.
Denver sat on the fence...
until the very last minute.
Orlando can also sit on the fence and I think they will.
in this case, jan 1st is a hardline date for DH to be able to get 5 year max...
Fegan and DH12 will make life very difficult for him if they don’t move him by then…
Yes indeed ....
Also, OS and his management knows that ppl not gonna sit and wait for him re: Turk.
Ppl will move on. This deal will not get any better.
If Jan1st is gone, D12 will not lose a dime if he signs as a FA with Brooklyn next summer.
Strong enough to force his way here before Jan. 1
if Otis doesn’t do it by then.

If Dwight doesnt get moved by the 1/1 deadline for his max money...

Timing
When is our deadline for doing something? We gave Denver an ultimatum and then said ‘goodbye.’ If we drop out — ie, by picking up Nenet — it doesn’t help Otis.
Howard could come as a free agent and say that because Otis didn’t trade him in time (ie, by Jan 1) to get a great new deal with a new team, that Dwight is leaving as free agent and the Magic get nothing.
Nets don't trade for Howard now, DWill will not be back next season
Howard goes to LAL or other team, DWill will ask to be traded or just walk next season.
It’s imperative a trade gets worked out sooner than later.

IF the Magic deal Dwight AFTER 12/31
WE are in great shape… Likely Dwight will sign with us a FA.. doesnt matter where Orlando sends him
Would the Lakers risk Bynum or Pau after 12/31 (when they would have no advantage to having him on the roster)? Would we risk Lopez?
basically, we have to wait out until 12/31.. miss out on Nene if we have to and see what happens
In some ways, it is to Orlando’s benefit to make us wait. We are their competitor.. If we skip Nene or other free agents and lose Dwight, it helps them..
I have no problem going all in...
Doesn’t seem like Fegan and Dwight are doing much on the Lakers side.
Dynamics change in that case
I’m not sure what becomes the best financial decision for Howard.
1) Do you opt out & sign a 3 year deal with 4.5% raises to achieve bird rights quicker, and sign your next deal at age 29?
2) Do you opt out & sign a 4 year deal with 4.5% raises & sign your next deal at age 30?
3) Do you opt in to your final year & then sign a 5 year bird rights deal at age 27?
If he’s traded after 12/31, and he likes the team he’s on, I wouldn’t discount option #3 as a distinct possibility. It could prove to be the most lucrative, although it does carry the most risk.
Not gonna happen
By dealing Dwight after 12/31 Magic takes millions of dollars from him. You don’t want to do that to any player, because you’ll have a hard time signing FAs, as players remember evrything.

I think we're in great shape, even with the Lakers in the picture.
Even if they can keep Bynum, a front court of Bynum/Howard paired with an aging Kobe looks good on paper, but if Bynum goes down, they have nothing down low but Dwight. After 2 seasons of nothing but himself and Brandon Bass/Ryan Anderson, I highly doubt Dwight wants to go that route again, with or without Kobe.

I rooting for the Clips to steal Paul
Sets the market lower for Howard. If NO fleeces a team then it will set Otis Smith’s expectations much higher and nothing will ever get done.
I don't understand why that's fleecing
1. That’s the standard rebuilding package. Possibly high draft pick, two young players with potential, and an expiring contract.
2. How many other teams can the Hornets deal with really that will give them what they want? CP3 isn’t willing to go anywhere, so that lowers the offers of other teams. GSW can’t give up Curry without getting a commitment from Paul
I didn't comment on a specific trade
Just said I hope they get him for minimal assets otherwise it will be a long time until Howard is dealt.
The only way Howard will lower the offer of ANY team is to tell them "I'm not signing an extension with you"
Until he does that with LA, they will remain in the running. They’re our only REAL competitor, since everyone else is just making offers, but none of them will actually progress in reality
That is not a fleecing
you guys seriously need to take a look at the entire situation before calling that deal a fleecing
you want to know what a fleecing is? Getting Carmelo Anthony for essentially Gallo and Mozgov.

re: Sheridan's take on the Paul to Clippers trade
as I posted earlier:
Chris Sheridan is an idiot
That deal is perfect for New Orleans, they get young players, cap room, and with Minnesota’s pick they could possibly land a FRANCHISE PLAYER in this year’s draft
It figures that a buffoon like CS would try to sit here and brag about how Odom/Scola/Martin/Knicks worthless pick is a solid deal for a team that needs to be sold and rebuilt from scratch.
If you’re on the cusp of being a contender, then yes you take back Scola/Martin. If you’re on frickin life support, you’d want to clean house and start fresh, as any new owner would want to do.
With the Minny pick and their own, NO could rebuild very fast imo
Sam Mitchell said it the other day on NBATV
You either want to be great or bad, the Hornets would of been good with the Lakers Rockets trade but with no chance of ever improving.
The Hornets with this trade will no doubt about it be bad. But this gives a chance for the future. Like you said the Minny pick has a lot of value. Two top 10 picks on what looks to be a stacked draft. Sign me up if I’m a team like the Hornets who is on the verge of losing their franchise player.
Orlando will TRADE him SOON and here's why....
Cap space, besides getting good pieces back their #2 priority is getting rid of Hedo’s contract, they need to move Hedo with Dwight and teams will start using their remaining cap space to fill their rosters soon…..Does Orlando really want to go into the new season with a full blown “Melodrama”, answer is no, Stan is already getting tired of the Dwight questions….Do you think Orlando wants to have an unhappy Dwight on the team? He’s already taking shots at the team every chance he gets now…..They don’t want to have another Shaq. If Orlando plays hardball with him ne could play it right back. He could start eliminating teams off that list (hopefully it’s Dallas and LA) and do a Melo where it’s Nets or Nothing (meaning he would not sign an extension with anybody else that they would try to trade him to and walk at the end of the season leaving them with nothing)….
Now about Lopez, yes people are down on him but he is still one of the best young centers in the game and THEY do know it. I agree if LA offered Bynum AND Gasol we have no shot but I DO believe if it’s just Bynum against Lopex, Orlando will take the safer bet and the CAP RELIEF and go with our package (who knows what else BK has up his sleeves but I’m sure he’s working it)…KEEP THE FAITH!!!
As Otis said yesterday
They plan on keeping Howard here for the rest of his career.
And everybody is just giving him a blank stare I’m sure.

Clips “have not, and will not” give up Gordon in a trade for Chris Paul, source says.
Another problem with CP3-Clippers scenario: LAC has, at best, a 2-year commitment from him. Those are a lot of assets to give up.
If Dwight wants this trade done right now, and if he really WANTS to come to NJ, he’ll eliminate LA from his list. Otherwise, he’s gonna have to wait months. Just choose ONE already, choose one and stick to it, and the deal will get done

Dwight's prolonging this by giving Orlando options
Take away their options, and make them focus on one team and one team alone. Choose ONE and get this done. It’s a dilemma, but give up one for the other, you can’t have both anyway. If you ultimately chose NJ, why even consider LA anymore? You’ve made your choice, now do everything you can to make it happen
Problem is that like with Melo...
the team does not have to trade you just yet…
Howard has to honor his contract and play along with Orlando just like Carmelo played along with Denver even though Denver knew Carmelo wanted the Knicks and only the Knicks…
We just have to hope that in the end that Orlando lets Howard get what he wants.
It makes no sense
You know you have to part with him soon anyway, why prolong it? Your fans aren’t gonna be any happier knowing they’re watching a guy who wants to leave. We sure weren’t happy with Kidd’s migraine, just get it moving already
It makes no sense to Nets fans...(LOL)
But I bet Magic fans would want to hold on to him as long as they can unless someone offers them a fantastic deal. And maybe Howard changes his mind if Orlando gets off to a good start.
I hope I’m dead wrong but I have a feeling we might be in for a long ride, maybe even till next July…
It's called a process.
He knows exactly where he’s going. Hence, BK taking the cool-like-MoeRivera approach.
I think D12 has said more than enough publicly. Saying he wants Jersey/Alone will make him look bad.
He will say what’s needed behind the closed doors.
Orlando is dragging this out
They’re waiting for us to sign Nene, so that they can turn around & say that we can no longer reach a workable deal. I think they’re also hoping that Howard won’t give up the extra bird rights money. If they hold him past 1/1, then he can’t make the same money elsewhere. They’d be hoping he’ll blink & extend.
They'll take this to the absolute limit in regards to the money
see if Dwight blinks, and if not, then they’ll trade him here.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
Hate to say this but Orlando is probably better off holding on to Dwight for now...
The Nets draft pick will probably be worse, epsecially if they don’t sign Nene, and they can also monitor the Houston pick. Plus they can see how well Brook Lopez is playing and also MarShon Brooks, Bojan and anybody else they might be interested in…
you forgot one thing.
What’s up TURK!!! Nobody is leaving cap for him when ORL makes up their mind, nor are they messing with D12 the 1/1 deadline.

Remember how we argued the same thing about Denver all of last year...
Denver took Carmelo leaving personally just like Orlando is taking Howard leaving personally.
Denver was in a state of denial just like Orlando is. What makes no sense to us makes perfect sense to Orlando…They don’t want to lose Howard and will probably hold on to him as long as they can even if it means screwing themselves up in the process.
Remember too that Orlando hosts the All-Star game this year.
Why is Chris Broussard saying his source said the Clips don’t want word to get out that Gordon is in the deal, yet Broussard is making sure word gets out that Gordon is in the deal?! Isn’t that a contradiction? I guess the source has no fiduciary attachment to the Clippers. Also, it’s Y!‘s word vs. ESPN’s word now on this issue. Credibility at stake.
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.

ONE GAME AT A TIME
Let's say Otis is being stupid after all, and he wants to drag this out ala-Melo despite the fact that he knows he only has 2 teams to negotiate with
If LA is supposedly not gonna offer Bynum and Gasol together… Do we go ahead and sign Nene and just sweeten the deal with more guys? If Lopez plays well this year, the perception that LA has the better package when we can’t take back Hedo could seriously change.
Though… if we surround Brook with good rebounders like JWill, Reggie Evans, or Shelden Williams, his rebounding may not improve. Though if Nene gets the most minutes, he’s not gonna steal any rebounds. But he might affect Brook’s scoring since Brook won’t be getting as many shots anymore
It's curious though why Hump hasn't signed with anybody
Is he waiting on the Nets to bring him back as well? Waiting for a possible Dwight/Nene deal so we don’t eat into our cap space to re-sign him and use bird rights instead?
Maybe he's also waiting on Howard?
No idea… been wondering the same thing about Hump. Double double guy and you haven’t heard a peep about whose interested in him. Really odd.
I’m guessing he just doesn’t have many suitors. He was probably hoping David West went to the Celtics so he could take that spot in Indiana

Not too sure
I still think Outlaw has to be amnestied regardless. You can’t let his contract get in the way of a possible mid-season trade.
Well if they plan on pursuing Dwight in FA next summer
They could decide to hold of amnestying Outlaw till then, otherwise, why delay it?
Also, we’ve so far only sign one guy, to a one year deal
Perhaps they want him healthy first
In the hopes that some team may pick up a small part of his contract? There’s really no advantage for us to amnesty him before the deadline.
i actually got some hope from that incarcerated bob tweet
he gets some stuff wrong, but he’s right about ALOT. got every NFL FA right except nmandi.

I have 2 general questions for you guys on this
What is your confidence level(percent) that Dwight will be here?
Is Otis as dumb as we think? We fail to realize his job is on the line, and that he can’t wait to trade Dwight until the deadline cause he’ll get less back from us, plus you know Dwight will bad mouth him. I also think Otis knows he can’t let Dwight walk for nothing.
I’m 100% confident he’ll be here, and i’ll say Otis wants to get it over as soon as possible to save his job, so i’ll stick to my original thought of tomorrow.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
Otis is not dumb, but as fans we call him dumb because we want Howard

I’m feeling about 40% confident that Howard gets here. It really seems like Orlando is dragging their feet to me. I think they want to wait until the trade deadline, and by then we should probably have Nene. I honestly think DH12 ends up in LA (Lakers).

If
they include bynum, gasol and take back hedo and maybe Jameer. Otherwise, the Nets offer with Lopez, take back Hedo, 2 first round picks – I really believe its more than that. I am sure BK got his hands on another pick – lets assume 3 first round picks.
Depends on when you're talking
My confidence that he’ll be traded to us before the season? 25%
My confidence that he’ll be a Net before the end of the season? 40%
My confidence that he’ll be a Net by the start of next season? 60%
I think at some point we sign Nene & maintain flexibility to achieve max cap room for next offseason. Our best bet might be to sign Howard as a FA, because our trade package pails in comparison to what other teams can offer.
apparently the Bulls are trying to work up an offer
and don’t care if Howard hasn’t expressed a desire to play for them
They are wasting their time

I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
This is gonna sound weird -- because I've been strongly against signing anyone to a big contract for the last three months -- but...
I’m beginning to think it’s in the Nets’ best interest to sign Nene. If Otis isn’t going to deal Howard within the next two days then the Nets need to make a move. If Nene is willing to look into a Gasol and Bynum package (which we previously thought wasn’t the type of deal he was looking for) maybe he’ll be semi-interested in a Lopez and Nene deal.
It has a couple advantages: Lopez gets to boost his value (which he will surely do); Nene can show that he’s been somewhat relegated by the Nuggets’ system and lack of an effective passing point-guard.
However, the question remains, is Otis Smith willing to force Howard’s hand? In other words, would he hold him until the end of the year and then ask “where are you going to go?” We’ve never really seen a star player be held hostage by his own team, but it seems like it could happen in this instance. Does Smith have the balls to do that? He’s shown to have alternative methods of approach, in the past.
That is, unless Howard can guarantee to Williams that he will join the Nets next year, no matter what.
Then I’d stick with my original stance.
all true however a couple of things to keep in mind
- Unless traded by December 31st, Dwight won’t be able to get his 100 million $.
- By waiting for too long, the number of teams that can absorb Turk’s contract will dwindle/disappear.
- He has requested out and has said he has a bad relationship with Otis, it will get VERY nasty in Orlando.

Okay...
- Why does Smith care about Dwight’s $100 million? They obviously don’t have a great relationship.
- It doesn’t appear that he’s in a rush to get rid of Turkoglu’s contract; because the Nets don’t seem like they can provide him with that serve for much longer and he hasn’t jumped at the deal.
- We’ll see. I don’t know if Howard is the type to make it as ugly as it would get with a Kobe-esque player. Smith may value Howard so much that he’s willing to put up with the ugliness.
Otis is relactant to give up Dwight
and will drag this. I hope I am wrong but it looks that way

I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
This is the part I don't get.
If you’re playing chicken it’s because you’re trying to get something more out of your opposition. Assuming that King is giving up Lopez and picks, as well as taking back Turkoglu’s contract, then the Nets don’t have anything else they can throw the Magic’s way.
What is he waiting on? It would seem that he’s either waiting on the Lakers to improve their package or looking at another potential suitor.

It's not always that you're playing chicken to get more value
It may be that Otis knows his job’s on the line, so he has to now look like the tough guy after all the moronic things his FO did and said. He knows he’ll eventually have to cave. I urge you to remember one thing: Fegan. He will pester Otis to trade Dwight now because of money. It’s funny how money is always brought up, except here.

He won't save his job
But it will define his resume. If he can get a great package for Dwight, that will help him land his next job.
I would love to get Howard...
but I’m fine keeping Brook if Orlando is too stupid to know how good he is already and with some more physical maturity how good he can be in the future…
The Nets might have to set a deadline date to get Orlando moving on this trade otherwise we will be left holding the bag and losing out on other moves…
Is Nene going to wait forever ? Or Hump or whoever else still out there ?
I remember Otis saying he didn't want VC
and later traded for him. I don’t believe what he says, in public anyway. Just strategy.
He surely wants Brook but he wants more than Brook.
Aldridge
Per a source who has been briefed on NO-LAC negotiations, the Hornets have to choose between the Minnesota pick and Gordon. Can’t have both.
In a perfect world,
wouldn’t the draft pick eventually be due for a big pay day anyway?
Take Gordon, you know he’s a beast already.
Gordon isn’t a franchise changer. In an optimal scenario, he’s an elite #2 option, but I don’t think he can carry a franchise. There’s a lot of potential franchise changers in this draft.

I’d take Gordon. I don’t think the Timberwolves are going to be bad this year, just mediocre.
Let's say you knew, for a fact, that the pick would turn into a top-6 pick.

i wish we could get Mayo
maybe for Farmar and 2nd rounder
If we could give the Pacers Hump and Farmar for Mayo
then send mayo to the magic, that would be sweater deal right? Lopez and Mayo are two young players with lots of potential still

All you need is D12 and D-Will.
Once that’s done, you will have ppl come in like “out of this world”
Quick Cap Math that media ignores
After Amnestying Arenas and signing JRich plus the two trades Orlando will look to have roughly 40 Million in committed salary with taking on Lopez and DJames .
That gives them plenty of money to sign Nene Immediately if they like plus the ability to pick up one or 2 more nice pieces.
This is the most annoying part of people comparing our trade to a Lakers trade for example. It seems that no one is taking into account the flexibility that taking Turks contract off the books will give the. In the end it could end up being: Lopez, DJames, Nene, and 2 picks for Dwight. Better than a perma gimp headcase and an over his prime and highly compensated Gasol (I am a gasol fan by the way)
This is why I believe Nene is waiting around. not to go to the nets, but to go to Orlando when they free up all of that cap room.
He's a free agent
He’d have to agree to Orlando. Although my guess is, he’ll play wherever the price is right.

They are not winning a championship with Gasol, Bynum as their best players.
The point is no combo is going to allow them to win a championship. The nets package gives them DURABLE youth at great terms and a lot of cap flexibility and money savings.
Is anyone else worried that if LAL wasn't going all-in for Howard now
that CP3 to the Clips would make them want to do so?

No NJ4 for this reason
Magic want Pau and Bynum and the Lakers said no, so they have no other feasible way of getting Dwight.

is it a case of "want"?
or are they incapable. They had to construct a three team deal to get Paul, which was so complicated it fell apart…twice. Same money, same situation for Howard.

Someone needs to show them our old logo
That ball logo was first used nearly 40 years ago, not a Jay-Z Illuminati thing
The way I see it Brook Lopez is the best single piece Orlando has been offered.
I wouldn’t trade Brook for Gasol and Bynum…Bynum always gets hurt and Gasol will be 32 years old in July…Plus Gasol and Bynum will be making 35 million dollars between them next year. Lopez 4 million…
Draft picks are hit and miss no matter how high they might be.
Brook Lopez is the only reason I still think the Nets have a good shot at getting Howard soon. Unless of course Orlando wants to screw us for starting this whole mess in their eyes…
they wouldn't give him up for Melo either....
And Im sure if we offered Lopez for Bynum L.A would take him and run away with it.
Lopez’s value is at a all time low due to his 6rpg last season, but he is very talented and a better asset tan bynum

Everyone sees him as one dimensional

Question
Since Brook is on his rookie contract and makes about 3mill per year, wouldn’t that be more appealing to the Magic than Bynum? Bynum makes around 15mill and WILL BECOME AN UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT IN ONE YEAR, while Lopez would become an RFA plus chances Brook wants to leave Orlando? ZERO
Chances Bynum wants to leave to a contender/big market team? much higher than Brook.
Just a thought.

you are correct and logical
Problem is.. Otis Smith is not logical at all. The only good contract he gave out was to Gortat. Problem is that is because he matched Dallas (I think) offer….
Then he astutely traded Gortat for one of the worst contracts in Hedo

Wait, did Donald Sterling sell the Clippers?
Why would any star player want to go to that team? Once there Sterling will make sure those players are surrounded by vet min guys… whom he affectionately calls “slaves.”
And Paul better be careful. Some of his injuries may require out-of-network care and we know Sterling doesn’t like to spring for that.

Nuggets awaiting word from Nene, who appears to be down to NJ and Denver. Rockets could jump back in if they don’t get M.Gasol.
So what I don't understand
I know Nene is doing us a huge favor by holding out for the Howard mess, but if Denver is only offering 5 years/$60mil, why are we offering 4 years/$64mil. We should be shaving off at least $2mil/year. 4 years/$56mil still beats Denver’s offer.
I'll bet that little extra
Is our FO’s way of saying “thanks for being so cool during this cluster-foiso to get us Dwight”
Maybe Nene wants in on Brooklyn and playing with Deron if Howard deal falls...
Plus with Denver and Houston still out there his price just keeps going up by waiting…

Howard and his people must convince Orlando that it’s the Nets and only the Nets he will sign long term with.

That I was going to trade away a very young, on the rise top 5 Center for the #1 Center in the league, BUT, I would have to give away at least 2 draft picks (one in an excellent draft), at least one young potential talent and at least one vet talent and that I would have to take back at least one of the most horrendous contracts in the NBA.
If you were to also tell me that despite the #1 center’s rebounding and defensive prowess, he really can’t be in the ends of games because he can’t make foul shots and he is Top 3 in turnovers in the entire league…

This is really no different than last year with the Nuggets
Everyone said Uriji was stupid and had no idea what he was doing, and that they are delusional that they think Melo might stay.
In the end, it went to the deadline. I expect nothing different.

Well if Dwight wants this done soon
He knows what to do. He met with their president and he came away thinking they could still convince him to stay. Either the guy is completely delusional or Dwight is still not that confident in his decision to leave
Trade deadline
Takes away all of Dwight’s financial options outside of Orlando.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
The exact same.
I have said numerous times that NBA GMs for the most part are not equipped to negotiate complex deals like this.
Do you think we can force them to trade with us even if we sign Nene or do we absolutely have to maintain our ability to keep Hedo?
It would be an awfully nice payoff to be able to get Nene and Dwight together
It hurt the team internally.
Denver were playing like crap with all the trade drama surrounding them.
i'm officially done with this
lets sign Nene and a few other guys and just go out and ball. would LOVE to do that and just wreck teams this year and surprise everyone. i’m ready for basketball. forget dwight.
why not
I’m sure Dwight would like to be told that he’s being broadcast live on USTREAM
by MrDollarBills on Dec 12, 2011 12:44 PM EST up reply actions
Better option is screw over Nene
let him resign with Denver for 5/60
then at the trade deadline, trade Brook for him
We then get Nene for less money or longer years.
or who knows,, maybe Brook is playing great and decide to keep him..
or ask for Nene and Wilson Chandler’s rights

I know that, the one thing I got from it was when the reported asked about will he stay
he wouldn’t say yes. And he kept on bringing up how everything needs to change.
But it gives them hope that he'll stay if they make the right moves
Meaning a trade won’t happen this month. Or next month.

Obviously, Magic is not trading him
Dwight being careful on what he’s going to say. As he’ll be staying. for now.
Maybe traded by the deadline.
Git it done!
It's very likely that Dwight will still want to go by the deadline, since the Magic aren't gonna get Monta ellis or Iggy
But I think we can’t risk not signing Nene anymore. We can still trade for him if ever, so it’s not a closed door even with Nene
Dwight doesn't want to wait until the deadline
he loses a lot of money if he doesn’t sign an extension by the first

…that Billy King wasn’t keeping Nene on hold but rather, Nene wanted to see if we could land Dwight…if not he’ll take the extra year from Denver.
but for us to get Dwight
we’d have to take Turk which would use up any money to sign Nene.

IMO...
….looks like owners are finally taking a stand. As much as I want D12 on the Nets…it’s good for the league if Orlando takes this risk. Bron and Bosh didn’t give up too much cash signing with the Heat. But CP3, D12, and DWill risk giving up a big chunk of change if they do leave their current teams. I think the CP3 and D12 saga will be resolved at the trade deadline.
BK likely makes one more pitch to get it done now but if not….they’ll have to sign who they can and hope for the best at the trade deadline.
Omg
we are being strung around and I hate that feeling.
THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE DONT NEED TO POST. WE CLEARLY SAW THAT DWIGHT WAS INDICATING THAT HE WANTS TO LEAVE ASAP. HE WANTS CHANGE

We have to sign Nene now or King will risk losing Deron too if he stands pat and does nothing. We’ve already lost out on practically every free agent out there.
Signing Nene does not eliminate the possibility of a future Dwight trade, but it does eliminate our ability to trade Hedo.
The implications of Dwight giving Orlando hope of keeping him:
Instead of Lopez+2 picks for Dwight and Hedo against Bynum+whatever for Dwight, it becomes Lopez+2 picks for Dwight against Bynum+whatever for Dwight.
If Brook has an allstar year, then it’s all good, we have the better package. But if Bynum has a good year, you’re losing that trade war. The upside is, you’ll at least have Nene in the fold so you won’t totally suck. Downside is, you’ll still have some weak wing players and not a lot of flexibility or trade assets to improve
Wow, news on Dwight situation, bad news...

DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
Sorry if this has been posted but
What do you think about Mayo to Pacers? Was McRoberts and Rush fair compensation
UGH!
Comment From Danny Rod
In your honest basketball opinion, where will Dwight be traded to ?
Nate/Magic Basketball: Los Angeles
1:45
Comment From Danny Rod
Dwight, Hedo, Jameer for Gasol & Bynum. Good or bad trade ?
1:45
Eddy/Magic Basketball: Good for the Lakers. Bad for the Magic. Bynum is a nice piece, injury aside, but that doesn’t really help Orlando rebuild properly.
So… what would make him think Dwight would go to LA? What else can they offer?

I'm done with this chat
dude just said after Dwight, the next best centers in the league are Bynum, M. Gasol and Bogut, followed by Noah.

That's not a crazy thought
Lopez is in the same tier as Bynum, Gasol, Bogut, Nene, Noah & Horford. How you rank those guys in that tier is subjective. If someone values defense highly for a center, it’s easy to see why Lopez would be ranked behind those guys.
Magic Organization is doing the right thing
Dwight pushed for a trade hard…likely because of the January 1st deadline which would’ve allowed him to get 110 million from his new team.
Now that cooler heads have prevailed…I think D12 and Orlando came to an agreement. Magic have the next 3 months to find a miracle…a star player they can somehow trade for. If that don’t happen, they’ll trade Dwight to the team of his choice.
I truly believe this is the case. It’s fair for everyone involved.
While I was at Lunch, did we all (and BK) come to our senses?

Mic Check: Sign Nene Now!
Totally understand where you are coming from...
I understand that patience is a virtue. But orlando is stringing us along. And to be honest, so is Dwight. One mintue he is demanding a trade. The next, he really wants to be in Orlando. It is time to move one. If Dwight wants to be here, then he, Orlando and BK will find a way to make it happen, even if we sign Nene.
The Nets have a real chance to make the playoffs this year. And if you add Nene and a SF (RJ, AK), then the Nets could go as high as a 4-5 seed in the east. It’s time for the Nets to focus on the things they can control, and do away with the things they cannot…
And by the way… if Brook begins the season on a strong note, the magic will come calling to us…
