The Tale of Two (NBA) Cities: As Nets Practice, Dwight Howard Speaks
by Net Income on Dec 15, 2011 4:38 PM EST
in 2011 Free Agency
Email
PrintAs the Nets were making moves --signing Shawne Williams and Ime Udoka, waiving Travis Outlaw and pursuing Andrei Kirilenko and Kris Humphries-- 1,100 miles to the south, Dwight Howard was once again letting Otis Smith know he wanted to be moved, that nothing has changed regarding his trade request.
In East Rutherford, Billy King emerged to say he was surprised how much money was being thrown around in free agency but that he prefers flexibility. As for Deron Williams, he talked about Shawne Williams and Kirilenko, both of whom he recommended, and how he feels about Howard's situation. "We got a team right here that’s going to play basketball," Williams said. "If it happens it happens."
In Orlando, it appeared Howard was doing his best to make "it" happen. He had a private meeting with GM Otis Smith and made it clear nothing has changed. He said his request "still stands."

We better hope it's not after we sign more guys
We only have 20M in cap space left… any deal would require us absorbing and not being able to send out anybody we sign.

i agree
the sooner the better… besides cap space we also don’t want these trade rumors floating around with players names being thrown around in trade scenarios… no matter what players say, its got to be a distraction for them and the team.

This is what I have been saying. Everyone saw the Magic say trades are off and they assume we can take as many 1 year contracts as we want.
I dont buy the trades off business. We cant throw money at guys assuming the Magic will wait for the deadline! Especially on AK!
"LeBron puts up great numbers, can't close w/o DWade. LeBricked 3 late 3s when shouldve been driving, getting to line. What else new?"
Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
Despite being told 4 times by the man himself that he will not stay
The Magic believe they can play and convince him to stay. Wow.

I don't know
They seem hung up on that they can bring him back next year. He seems pretty dead set on ‘trade me, or I am leaving for nothing’. One would hope that they budge sooner or later, but who knows.
Every little thing that goes wrong, every 2 game loosing streak, every comment Dwight makes…it’s all going to turn into 20 questions in the post game about “Will this effect Dwight staying?” The longer this drags out, the bigger the circus around the team will be, and the more and more it will effect them

Why tho?
Its clear they dont like our package, and i dont think they value dumping Hedo’s contract like they should. they’re dumb and care more about attendance in the arena than a proper rebuild short-term suffering for a long-term payoff. they would probly take older, expensive players cuz ppl will pay to see them
i dont think he gets moved until march, and i dont love our chances anymore. this was the time to close the deal, and we just couldnt do it
Dep
I think that because now Dwight himself has spoken up in the last day or two. Also, with Fegan putting the moisos to Otis, it’s obvious he’s trying to get him out as soon as possible. Also, I just don’t see BK leaving us this short. Even if we have to absorb beatings in the preseason, so what? Dwight is NOT losing his money(up to $20-30 million). I get it that it’s up to Orlando’s ownership to budge, but with enough persuasion and pressuring from BK and Fegan, it’ll get done.

Orlando wants Howard for the All-Star game
That’s going to be one big sports hypocrisy. They want to show off the guy that’s leaving them. It’s really kind of sad.
obviously Magic are going to make Dwight suffer in orlando for as long as they can
he’ll get traded though, he’ll be a Net on or before March 15, im 90% on it
maybe...
…magic are in fact waiting til they play the Nets(29th right?), so they can show their fans what Brook is about. Lopez needs to bring it that night. You know D12 gonna bring it…initially I wondered if he’d bring it down a gear for that game but then I remembered when Dallas came into town when all those rumors were floating around Kidd being traded….JKidd put on a show that night!
Any way
the nets can afford a dwight trade during the season before feb 13 when we can trade our free agent signings?

Dear NetsDaily
Please stop feeding the “Dwightmare” hype machine or it will be worse than last years “Melodrama”
Peoples hopes get too high and their hearts get broken…
Like Dwight himself said…if it happens, it happens.
As a realist I believe that the Lakers will be able to offer more in the end with Bynum and Gasol as chips that could be used in a 3 or 4 team deal…
I could potentially see a true Dwightmare where Howard gets traded to the Lakers, who then turn around and sign Kardashian and AK47 to the MLE and Mini MLE
by Chris3035 on Dec 15, 2011 4:52 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Atlanta is looking for a true Center so they can move Horford to his natural Power Forward position, so Bynum for Josh Smith isn’t unrealistic…Golden State would consider Monta Ellis for Gasol…
Monta Ellis and Josh Smith would be a great pick and roll combo… and a great start to a rebuild on the fly

Because if he’s still in Orlando then these Magic fans will realize they might get I keep him( even though they won’t) and will cheer for him to stay. I’m sure it will be mixed reactions. Either way though, i think hes trying to push his way out before the season starts

also teams will get desperate and raise the asking price.

no they aren't
the more they hold onto dwight the worse their draft pick is in a great draft and the worse their offer becomes for dwight. also the fans have already turned on howard and putting him on the floor isn’t gonna do any good in their minds unless he actually commits to resigning. this is the PERFECT year to rebuild with a shortened season. dumb move by orlando.
i think what we've seen though
is that Orlando does NOT want to rebuild and suck for a while. i don’t know if they particularly care how high their pick is in this draft because there is a ton of talent anyway
by bronxbombers2 on Dec 15, 2011 5:08 PM EST up reply actions
and if they give him to whatever team
those multiple draft picks will be worthless.
The fans are not booing Dwight. They still think it’s a possibility he can stay. Watch I bet his first home game he isn’t boo. Plus Orlando doesn’t want to rebuild look at the moves they have made. Rebuilding is the furthest thing from their mind.

you're right as for holding out part for ie. money, fans & publicity..
Lets say they keep Dwight till after the NBA all-star game. What if Brook goes into the season & plays out of his mind be an all-star C for the eastern conference? Then what does the trade demands for Orlando become less IF they do agree to trade him to the Nets?

Most likely
But there is still the possibility that Fegan and Howard push a trade to the Nets. There is no question that they are still pushing, the real question is if Orlando ownership gets the message. Appears to me that Otis has already read the writing on the wall, which is why the trade was brought to ownership yesterday.

I honestly hope they dont trade him at all
If they make that mistake and dont pull off a miracle with their garbage roster, he is absolutely OURS….and we keep Brook + picks, etc
dream scenario :)
In about seven hours we will know if this is actual news
Good rumors don’t start leaking out until after midnight.
LET ME POSE THIS QUESTION
And let me go on record saying I want Dwight just like everyone else but….
Is it better for the Nets to get Dwight via trade now by giving up Lopez plus some other players and draft picks
Or
Is it better to keep our tradable assets, finish out this season..and pick up Dwight via Free Agency (He surely would sign with our team over the other potential teams if he is “forcing” a trade to the Nets right now)
In my opinion its a tough call…on one hand having Dwight and Deron this season will be entertaining..but realistically they still won’t win the championship because of a lack of depth and talent around the 2
on the other hand we could work our tradable assets to acquire the talent needed to be a title contender after signing Dwight in the offseason via free agency.
I think option 2 is a more viable option in terms of long term success…while option 1 would be immediate satisfaction but most likely a delay to real success.
What do you guys think?
he won't make it till off season

He wants that 5th year at max level
Dude is going to make sure he is traded to the Nets or Lakers by the trade deadline, period. Magic wont get as much value from a team other than Brooklyn, LA, or Dallas.
by BrooklynNets on Dec 15, 2011 5:14 PM EST up reply actions
That's a valid point
I didn’t consider the 5th year max contract…how do the numbers work out if he hypothetically signs a 4 year contract vs the 5 year contract?
I would love to get via free agency
But unless the Orlando Tragic are really THAT dumb to not trade him and lose him for nothing (which btw I haven’t ruled out yet), we almost certainly have to trade for him. Or else we risk losing him to the Lakers.
I agree
One of the reasons I posed the question is based off what I sense is a lack of leadership within the Orlando franchise. There seems to be varying opinions on Dwight and their chances of re signing him. I get the sense they may pull a Lebron scenario and gamble that he re ups with Orlando when the season is over. Not that I think that’s a wise move on their part, but I see it as a distinct possibility.

My question is...
How does Josh Robbins from the Orlando Sentinel know what the conversation was in a “private” meeting between Dwight Howard and Otis Smith? Did he have spy equipment set up to eavesdrop?

I’m just wondering…

Worrying isn’t going to make you feel better or make the Magic FO trade Dwight to the Nets. If the Lakers get him, than you can say “oh well.” However, if the Nets get Dwight than all this worrying will have been for nothing.
You can just rest easy knowing that the Nets are doing everything in their power to get the 2nd best okayer in the NBA and assemble a championship roster.

During the Magic game on Christmas...
all the announcers will talk about is the Dwightmare.If I were Orlando ownership/management I’d move him just so the Magic fans can focus on the game and not the incessant chatter about D12. Is it true that ownership is trying to sell the Magic? If so, they may be holding on to him as a marketing chip; but that would backfire with me, if I were considering buying a franchise whose best player is demanding a trade. Tarnishes the franchise.
So wait...
If we sign AK47 there no more room for dwight?
I'm not sure...
We had 16 million dollars + 7 for outlaw = 23 million
-3 million for Shawne = 20 million left.
Depends what AK47 requires… I mean we can add other players into the Dwight trade, it just means no Hedo.
Does that sound right to everyone?

Kidd didn't have the

OK guys, here's my theory on Dwight now
It’s obvious he wants to leave. He met with Otis instead of and without(i’ll assume without this time) Fegan. He then says that he wants to keep the conversation private, and reiterates his desire to be traded. Before this, we(finally) amnesty Outlaw, sign Shawne, but no signs of AK47 or Hump(yet). That’s not a coincidence. Now, Deron’s statement of ‘’if it happens, it happens’‘. He’s almost TOO casual about it, like he knows something’s up(which I wouldn’t doubt, since him and Dwight talk every day). Dwight probably told him about the conversation he has with Otis. If AK47 and Hump aren’t here by tomorrow, then you know the deal. I also saw Deron joke that he’s the assistant GM as far as consulting BK on moves. Gee, I wonder who wants to join Deron in doing that? Oh yeah, that guy in Orlando. 12. It’s all planned when Deron and BK talk. They know the deal(even if it’s only slightly at this point). As for the Bird Rights situation, this is via a poster at OPP:
The team that Dwight is playing for on January 1st can give him a 5 year deal with 7.5% annual raises. All other teams can do 4 years/4.5%.
What player in their right mind wouldn’t do everything they can to keep that money by leaving, especially when they know they want out? I say we get him in a week or two. I know about not being able to trade newly signed FA, but BK can work his magic by bringing in another team or two. Let BK do his work. Let Deron continue to feed BK with info via Dwight, and let Fegan continue to put the pressure on and this will be done.

Billy King says he has spoken with Mikhail Prokhorov and ownership is on board with his offseason strategy. They mapped it out together

Proky, Billy, and Deron.
They’re all in it together.

Why does Deron have to be included in everything?
I mean he can tell them who he wants to play with but BK and Proky should be the only ones working on the plan together. Dwill is a player, not a GM.
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
that's just what players want today
, and if you let them do so they’ll be happy and have a good teamchemistry. And that’s more important than many people think.
excuse my bad english please
Dwill should do his job
BK and Proky do theirs. BK doesn’t come out on the court to help set picks in a game does he? BK should be fully in charge of the plans w/ Proky as the approval man. Dwill says what he wants and thats all he should get to say.
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
what dwill wants
is everything that counts. If he doesn’t get what he wants he’s gone
excuse my bad english please
Then leave
I don’t want players who think they can control the whole team. PLay your part, these people have their jobs dont try to do it for them. Clearly they know better than you do atm.
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
ok i was little harsh when i said "then leave"
stay but realize what your role is
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
If you want that
be prepared for a team with no big stars on it. This is just how it is in the NBA. If you don’t think Durant or Rose have input on personnel moves you are deluding yourself.
If there is one position
that a player should have input, it should be the point guard since he is the floor leader IMO
Still the offseason, so
Dwight or bust is still on.

I just don't get them
Why have your star player not 100% focused and on bored is beyond me forcing d12 to stay will add more to this growing fire that will explode heavily in the magics FO faces…trade him to us and save yourself the misery lol
Okay NetsDaily
I love you, but it’s time for me to go study. I’m blocking my distracting websites for a couple hours
if Dwight is traded in that meantime, i won’t be able to post!!!
how do u block for a few hours...
i need to to day for studying too lol
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
okay do this
Google “stayfocused”
it’s an add-on that lets you list sites you want to block.
it will add a button on the side of the URL bar.
click on it, and go to settings
set the max time allowed for a really high number (i did 1439), just so you don’t get blocked out of websites after like 10 minutes a day.
go to require challenge and uncheck that option.
go to Blocked Sites and add sites you want to stay off of when you study.
click The Nuclear Option, set up your settings in there, and voila, you can block sites for a certain period of time

I was ready to let go, but
that news about Dwight’s private meeting with Otis and his request to be traded after the meeting ended gives me renewed hope. Every time it looks like it’ll end for now, something pulls you back in.

Well Hab
I went on there(OPP) last night, and the first thing they bring up is my signature. Some moron pointed it out to someone else. Kinda like making fun of the bipolar. On top of that, they kept calling me a troll for expressing my opinions postively towards the Nets and negatively towards the Magic. Hello. I’m gonna go over there. They had to expect some Nets fans to go to OPP. To finish the job, this Jtyler character ranted about us having ‘’weird ownership’‘, Jay being a ’’crack dealer turned rap mogul’’, said we’d always be in the Knicks shadow and more like the Islanders are to the Rangers than the Mets are to the Yankees. There was probably more, but I don’t remember. I just lost it. They had no respect, and I let them know it, and believe me, I didn’t use the word moiso, either.

hahahahah welll........
We do have a weird owner, Jay was a crack dealer turned rap mogul, and we still are in the knicks shadow. All true statements, if they came at you maliciously though, thats different. I wouldn’t pay them any mind. It’s just two passionate, desperate, fan bases lockin heads.
Im just waiting for WOJ to say the trade is back on :)!!

To be honest, what does Dwight see when looking not only at the Magic’s management, but the Lakers management who have angered Kobe??

Most superstars would suggest overpaying for talent...Deron on the other hand
requests we spend our money wisely on flexible contracts.
Very smart man.
he wanted shawne williams who got very good deal and he wants AK but only "if the price is right"
or w/e his verbiage was
LeBron on the other hand wanted guys like Hughes and Jamison.
Dwight wanted Arenas..

I agree
He spoke to Dwight(as he does every day), and he probably knows something that Dwight told him about the meeting with Otis that we’ll all know soon.

ok so with a hurt deron
the jazz were 31-26 when we got him.
if we get kirilenko and hump would you argue that our roster would be better than the jazz were last year?
if you do can you argue we could be 7-10 games over .500??
Need some D-12
i think kirilenko, djames, deron and hump are solid defenders
they could open the way for brook to go over 22-24 ppg
Need some D-12
also a good point.
people are all over the pacers and the dude who grew like 2 inches!

still don't understand
i guess you could end up make the first part
[log base 3 (2)^ (1/2)] or (1/2)[log base 3 (2)]
am i missing some log rule or something?
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
can't you multiply both sides by 2?
and then you can make the 2 on the right side an exponent so its log base 9 (4)?
i should've been more clear
the answer I got was -(3/2) – [log base 3 (2)] / 2 yet the actual answer was -(3/2) – log base 9 (2) and I’m pretty sure I did it right so I was thinking I am missing one last step
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
Proof: A(log B) = log (B^A), log A - log B = log (A/B)
hope that makes sense.

the answer I got was -(3/2) – [log base 3 (2)] / 2 yet the actual answer was -(3/2) – log base 9 (2) and I’m pretty sure I did it right so I was thinking I am missing one last step
I know those proofs but I can’t figure out how to get that…
im pretty much tryng to get from [log base 3 (2)] / 2 -→ log base 9 (2)
so i can’t set them equal to each other
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
log base 9-(2) + 5 equals 12. Add D into the equation and you come up with D-12

absolutely LOVE the Shawne Williams signing. Not sure if he starts or not, but he is a great addition to this team. Like Deron said, its good to have talented shooters surrounding him, and the Nets have arguably two of the best in the league. So much hate from Knicks fans, saying it doesn’t make sense for him to come to sucky team over a “winning” team. W/E tho.
btw
with King’s emphasis on maintaining flexibility at practice today, I’m pretty confident Farmar will be shipped out in a salary dump or for an expiring contract.

This is a playoff team. I’m content with this know Dwight still wants the trade and will most likely be here by the trade deadline.

j howard gone
Josh Howard has agreed to terms with the Utah Jazz, according to a source close to the situation.
Terms of the deal are unknown at this time
Just say No to LA D12!!!
You see how they treated Odom, We won’t do that to you, Also thumbs down to David Aldrass, ,and the Nba Tv analysts, for being dismissive about D12 possibly being a Net, and kissing the arses of the Lakers!!
My hope is that BK.....
Has put in an offer to Wilson Chandler (iLL Will) for a short term deal. He’ll be cheaper than AK47 and he can be bought out of his Chinese contract for 500k. That’s news i’d love to hear.
Williams/Farmar
Morrow/Brooks
iLL Will/ Shawne Williams
Hump/ Sheldon Williams / ill Will
Brook / Petro
I would like him for a LONG term contract. He is my dream SF.
"LeBron puts up great numbers, can't close w/o DWade. LeBricked 3 late 3s when shouldve been driving, getting to line. What else new?"
Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
I’d imagine that if Wilson chandler was sign-able that he would have already been inked a while back. The Chinese rules are pretty strict and I doubt Chandler is back in the NBA before March
It's clear that he can be had....
Go down to the section on International players and you will see that it mentions a 500k price to buyout players playing overseas. They mention iLL Will by name.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7329408/new-items-added-nba-collective-bargaining-agreement
If BK can get that dude plus already having Shwane Williams (people just make the most uninformed statements about this kid)….man, what a haul. Can somebody send a twitter to BK with this idea?
The Chinese Basketball Association forbids it
They can’t release players from their contracts per league rules. It doesn’t matter how much our collective bargaining agreement lets teams pay towards buying players out.
Man, I just got through reading some of the Orlando Pinstripe Blog....
They’re delusional over there. They’re proposing trades with a straight face of DWill for Ryan Anderson, Jameer, Duhon etc. Their reasoning is that this offer is as disrespectful as the offer of Lopez plus picks/players is for D12…of course no mention of the cap relief taking on Duhon/Hedo contracts.
Their new CEO is running the show now and he’s inline with most of the posters on that board. I came from it with this thought. They’re gonna keep that guy pass the March Deadline and lose him for nothing. Watch
yea I went there last night
they are sooo overly optimistic they’re delusional. we may get depressed at the slightest turn of events here, but at least we don’t over rate our team as much as they do.

We don't really know what the new CEO is thinking
You can’t really tell if he thinks the same as the fans on there. Yeah, they are way out of line, though.
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
Well I can understand overrating their team. We do that constantly as do Knick fans...
at the beginning of the year hope springs eternal for every franchise. What I see that they’re delusional about however is that D12 wanting to leave. They actually think there’s a chance he wants to stay there.
It’s like after telling a girl friend, yo, i’m done by cell, text, email and to her face. Her response, to show up at your job like everything’s just fine. Nuts
Point well taken JUNK, but
You said the CEO is in line with the thinking of the fans on OPP when we don’t know that. He can be broken down by Fegan and BK. How do we even know he’s the one calling the shots?
I'm bipolar. Just remember to read this before you respond to or read my comments. Someone here forgot to.
All of it's speculation. However i'm only using deductive reasoning as you do often...
on this site. What do we know: 1) Otis had a deal he was ready to sign off on, 2) Dwight was ready to go, had asked to go and was surprised that it wasn’t a done deal (via his teammates statements). So, what changed? Otis is the GM yes? What changed was the drunk CEO stepped down and the new CEO is calling the shots now. So, he’s gonna call all trade talks off to establish that he’s in charge by making D12 sweat and (supposedly) cutting off all negotiations. Now we can tell by D12’s last interview that he’s getting pissed. This is going to end very badly for Orlando.
