Nets Willing To Take Arenas, But Heat and Knicks May Want Him

It's not a surprise that Gilbert Arenas would want to play with Dwight Howard. Howard himself has said he disagreed with the Magic's decision to waive Arenas under the amnesty provision of the new CBA. According to Marc Stein, the Nets have "quietly indicated that they plan to take Arenas on if they're able to complete the trade for Howard that the Magic keep resisting".
But if the Magic continue to resist, as expected, Arenas is likely to move on. He'd like to get signed by a contender, the Lakers, Heat or Knicks. Even after the Knicks' decision Sunday to sign another amnestied All-Star, Baron Davis, Stein thinks the prospect of signing both at a bargain price may be too hard to pass up.

If Shawne Williams can get what he got, Arenas will get that minimum or more.

why would the knicks take on another guard?
also, i doubt he would pick the nets over the heat
Coming off the bench or starting?
He might play injured to get out of this team if they bid.

Nets had about 20 million in cap space to sign Shawne with vs. 2.5 million for 2 years for the Knicks.
And it still came down to the wire, with BK offering 500,000 more each year.
$1 million more over two

Gilbert at the minimum would not be handcuffing anything
When you have guys like Petro and Graham on your roster getting minutes, surely u can afford Gil, who at least knows how to play the game.
OUTLAW > BROOK'S SHOE
Unless I misunderstood....
Arenas would not sign with the Nets unless Howard is on the Nets….
so I believe Arenas would not precede Howard.
Arenas isn't a primary need now

Farmar's days are numbered...
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dealt before the season starts. He has the talent to contend for a starting PG job, and he won’t get that with the Nets. As far as two PG sets…it would just take time away from Morrow (who’s deserving of time) and Brooks (who also deserves time to develop).
If Morrow or Brooks is dealt in a Howard deal…that leave a hole at the guard spot.
I agree, Farmar is a luxury the Nets can't afford right now.
See what you can get for him at the PF position.
@NetsROC
They need him to be at the salary floor
He’s also a good trade chip for Howard.
by ZR on Dec 18, 2011 6:18 PM EST up reply actions
I'm saying trade him for a PF.
The salary they take back would likely be close to Farmar’s.
@NetsROC
I agree Randy
if we sign him, then we know a Dwight trade is all but done.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Arenas would take minutes away from Graham
and may be the clincher for Dwight to sign here. So at the right price, I’m all for it.
Lopez needs to go off
First 3-4 games 28 pts 12 boards 3 blks.
Trade happens.
I also think arenas would be a strong player for us if trade happens.
Morrow is gonna be a 17-20 ppg guy. (he is gonna have the ball in his hands a lot.

We are all in for Dwight
Doing something now could make everything Billy’s been doing worthless
Um
So far he has not overpaid for FAs and essentially completed a trade for Dwight Howard (nixed by Magic ownership). And the reason we haven’t signed anybody expensive is because Billy probably thinks he can still get a trade done
Oh yea
We don’t need to over pay for players, they might come here for the pride and joy of being a Nets. Oh and why bother even try to get other players when it is 100% GUARANTEED we’re getting Howard smfh.

We can have DWill and D12 with a bunch of scrubs. We all want to think they’d be contenders within a year or two of having those guys but that’s no guarantee.
If the get Dwight and DWill, the rest of the roster will take care of itself
Look at Battier – he could start for the Nets but decided to go to Miami to win a ring. Same will happen if the Nets get Howard.

I hope we don’t do it on a whim though hoping it lures Howard here. He obviously wants to come here already, it’s just up to the Magic ownership.
We really need rebounding and more of a presence inside…. signing Hump should be our #1 priority right now. God I hope we have him before the next Knicks game.

What are you talking about? Knicks cap space?
They used it all on Chandler. A team over the cap can sign anyone to a minimum deal
I doubt Orlando trades D12 here
Even with the salary relief that Orlando would recieve, in addition to Howard requesting a trade here, he remains on the Magic. Hopefully Mr. King has not showed all his cards, and still has an ace up his sleeve. I believe if Howard truly wants to play with Deron, he should prove it by signing in the offseason. He’s still under contract so he should honor that contract. The Magic front office either believes he’ll resign or just refuse to trade him for whatever their reasons are. With that said, the Nets as constructed are not a good team. This team has a lot of holes, but with a top 8 player in Dwill, a motivated lopez and at least 1 more piece we can make the playoffs. I believe that the Nets should try to get Josh Smith. Would Farmar+ Petro, 2 12’ picks, Nets 14’ and Nets 16’ get it done? Maybe Mr. King can do a 3 team trade and get it done somehow. Would D12 be willing to sign in the offseason to play with Dwill and Smith in Brooklyn? I cheered for the 12 win team and I’ll cheer for this team. But please get Dwill some help cuz Graham and Petro couldnt beat me and Outlaw in a two on two.

Very little
The difference here is that the target has requested a trade to the Nets and that the Nets already have a superstar in place. I would’ve felt better seriously acquiring LeBron if DWill has here before that summer.
When you hear that from someone like Howard, a once in a generation player, you have to take the shot. I for one thought the Nets would just end up with Nene and might have been the safer move. But obviously Howard wants out and BK has to go for it.

As a NJ nets fan
I find it offensive that we are a week from the season starting without a legitimate PF or SF. If King has an assurance from Smith that Howard wil be traded to us by 12/31.. that is one thing (Guess we will find out soon)
If King plans to go through the season with this dreck hoping he can trade for Howard, I find this unacceptable.
I don’t care about Brooklyn. I want my team to respect its fans
i kind of agree with you but its such a difficult situation
I understand its Dwight or bust and keeping the cap space available is the best way for us to enable a trade for Dwight, but at the same time this current roster is really bad is going to stay that way if the forward positions arent upgraded within the next few days. I do agree with the whole Brooklyn thing though. It is really disrespectful to the NJ fans if they just accept a terrible season in hopes that Dwight comes eventually. Such a difficult spot though because we can’t say we want the roster upgraded now while also saying Dwight or bust. Plus, the organization really doesnt care about NJ and everything is about Brooklyn and that will not change. I’m just hoping for a somewhat quick resolution to all of this but that seems highly unlikely. Chances are we make no additions and play really bad basketball until March when Dwight gets traded either to us or LA. If its LA then we are screwed and it was all for nothing but if its to us, then all of this complaining will seem foolish and we will be signing King’s praises.
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
As a NJ Nets fan
as well as a NY Nets and soon to be Brooklyn Nets fan, I agree.
Do something, make an offer to Afflalo, sign AK-47, re-sign Hump whatever….not these has beens and never was. Build a solid team that can compete for the few NJ Nets fans they have left this year….we are coming across as the loser guy no hot chick wants to date but willing to pay whatever it takes to get the girl, including making ourselves look like a laughingstock.
If Dwight wants to really play here with Deron in Brooklyn, then he can prove it by playing out his contract and telling the Lakers he will not sign an extension. Then maybe the Magic will get desperate and we won’t have to gut the team out as much to get him. If no trade is made and Howard plays out his contract with the Magic, we’ll have three first rounders in a projected good draft, maybe Marshon will be a good off the bench instant offense guy and we won’t get stuck with toxic contracts like Hedo’s (along with the FA we sign this year). And we won’t have a gutted team

I get where you're coming from, but
BK knows his moiso is on the line. He also knows he has an incredible opportunity to go into Brooklyn with a bang, and he has to do ALL he can to get this done sooner rather than later. He basically has no choice. I seriously doubt he won’t sign anyone if he can’t get anywhere with Orlando. You need to trust him. At least he hasn’t overspent on FA after Orlando’s FO nixed the trade the first time. He was persistent and him and Fegan are keeping the pressure on, and honestly, i’m thrilled he is, because with this franchise in the past, guys like Dwight wouldn’t have even wanted to come here and in the off chance they did, if a deal couldn’t be made the first time, they’d give up. You just have to trust him and know he’ll what’s best for the franchise.

one would think
but its entirely possible we are just leaving the cap space open in case a deal suddenly becomes possible

This is what i've been saying
what you and Randy have. BK’s doing all of this this way now because he’s pretty confident he can get Dwight now.

DWill is very happy with the Nets
He has been consulted on every move that we have made since he has been here. Dont you think he would be surly in interviews if he were unhappy. He’s onboard with the current position we are taking because the Nets arent settling for medocrity. Im sure he is willing to wait 3 and 1/2 months if it means he will play with the best center in basketball for the next 5 years.
Who cares if we lose to the Knicks in the preseason or if we are only a .500 club until March. We can be the 8th seed with DWill and Howard and still make a run in the playoffs this year.

if we are only a .500 club until March
there’s no way we are a .500 team come March if this is our roster until then. Not even the slightest chance.
agreed and that's all what I'm asking for
decent stopgap upgrades so when (if) Dwight comes here in March we are not already eliminated from playoff contention
Why not in your own mind Andres
keep open the possibility of Dwight coming here now, rather than just concede until March? Until told otherwsie, it’s still a possibility.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
If we arent then Dwill isnt a top PG
DWill is a top 3 player
Lopez is a 20/10 guy
Morrow/Brooks is a good rotation at SG
James is good enough at SF
All we lack is a PF
there’s no way we are a .500 team come March if this is our roster until then. Not even the slightest chance.
Last year Ins made the 8 seed with a 45.1% winning percentage.
Even if we get Howard at the trade deadline we still have 22 games of DWill/Howard they should win at least 14 of those.
30 wins should get the 8th seed (45% of 66) All we need is to win 16 of our 1st 44 games 32%
. We should be able to do that easily

Correct Top 3 PG. But he is top 7 all players so it's semantics
The point being is we should win at least a 3rd of our games without D12 and easily win at least 60% with D12

If Dwight wants Gil… we must take him. He obviously would be a starter, and Farmar would prob be gone with a Dwight trade. This makes perfect sense to me. I just with something would break already!
"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 think he will sign with the Knicks
with baron hurt he will be able to see time off the bench. The Nets right now are a d league team it’s no problem because that is the plan,
I think the problem could be if this goes on till March we will likely be out of the playoffs which will make Dwight think twice about the nets.
Also a bad team will hurt Brook Lopez chances of making an all star game. Unless he is breaking records (Kevin Love) or a highlight machine (Blake Griffin.)

lets put it like this the Nets do not get dwight
no one will give a crap about them no matter who is on the court. Nene wasn’t going to change the perception of the Nets and neither was chandler. The Nets need stars. If they don’t get Dwight they might as well move to KC

Yeah but there is literally noone out there that we can get other then Dwight so it seems, that would turn Knicks fans into Nets fans. Might as well wait. Its that or putting together a sub par team and paying more money for it.

Just frustrating. Billy must feel that ak and hump will hinder the Dwight deal. Otherwise they would be signed.
Need some D-12
You don't want to be Orlando though
Just signing some veteran talent because it could help. The Nets need to maintain flexibility if they want a real shot at Dwight in the upcoming months. I think they should sign Hump, however, and I don’t understand the delay.

How about Kmart?

Id rather have kmart for his veteran leadership
He would be great in the locker room
kmart:
i’m as big a kmart fan as they come, but he’s not the same player as he was when he was here
Ironic part of this whole Dwight saga..
Is that with all the holes and problems and scrubs this team has, the center position is on of our stronger areas with Brook. And now were willing to throw trash out there all season with hopes of upgrading(yes its a big upgrade) a position we already have some talent at.
I said it before. Even after a Dwight trade, this team is so flawed its going to be a long way to a contender. Especially with more limited assets.
by cody1234 on Dec 18, 2011 6:28 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
if the Nets can dump Farmar
to a team below the cap or with a trade exception, it would give a world of flexibility in trying to sign Hump or AK while still preserving cap space.
We currently have 38 million in guaranteed salaries for 10 players (Graham and Udoka assumed cut) or still 4 million from the salary floor of 42. If there’s no Farmar, we can sign somebody for 7-8 mil and still be able to absorb Dwight and Hedo without having to trade that player we signed/re-signed.
doing it would let King sign somebody good

Fact is, we have one of the richest owners in the NBA, we’re moving to the nicest arena in the league, we have the best point guard in the NBA, the most talented young center, one of the best three point shooters, an experienced coaching staff and a group of young players willing to work hard. Good things will happen soon.
Arenas
Yes Agent Zero is nuts. But i think he must be a priority RIGHT Now. Hes only 3 years removed from scoring 25 + a game. He can backup D-will AND play a solid 2 guard with him. Trade farmar for some size/defense. And Arenas is a good lure of course for the biggest fish of them all- D12.
Where does it say that?

Until d12 gets here we need a respectable team on the court
Do the ends justify the means?
Suffering through another lost season will prove to be worth it of we somehow land d.howard. It’s painful basketball to watch, but it’s necessary at this point
can't have everything!
I wouldn’t mind the wait
Orlando
The more I think about it- the more I realize that the Magic deserve to lose D12 regardless of where he goes. Hes been there for 7 years…and its one thing to be like LBJ and expect another future HOF to play along side you. But can anyone name the best player that D12 has ever played with? If its rashard lewis or hedo- thats pitiful, they deserve to lose him. At least we can say worst case we lose D-will- we did EVERYTHING in our power to acquire D12. Hopefully- Dwight is seeing the strife going on in Kobeland and narrows his suitors down to just us. We’ll see.
not worried about the lakers, worried about the mavs. I can’t trust anything that it is written about Howard definitely signing with us if he doesn’t get traded.
Yeah Ive been concerned about the Mavs ever since D-will was traded here. I could totally see him wearing a Mavs jersey. I think thats the likeliest place he’d bolt to. Dirk still has a good 4 years of elite level basketball in him. Thats a pretty good window for D-will. But the ball is still in the Nets court- we have more leverage than we might realize. Id say if we fail to get D12…before the deadline we have to quickly spin off D-will for the best package in return- my man Russell Westbrook. That should be our escape option. You still go to Brooklyn with a bona fide star PG in his prime- you might even get Ibaka back depending on how much they want D-will…and we get to keep our picks in a very very deep draft.
So Worst Case ( if they like my plan lol)..
Westbrook/Farmar
Morrow/Brooks
Djames….ughh

Lopez

Based on stat sheet
Dwight is playing his way out of Orlando.
Can’t blame him. What else can you do if to your trade request, management tells you we’ll do everything to keep you…
He wont be on one with the Nets either
If Brook goes the other way the Nets are just upgrading the C position minus Morrow or Brooks, Farmar…major flaws
Deron Williams is a better player than anyone magic have
by that alone he will be on a better team, and i dont believe Morrow is going anywhere, Brooks and Lopez yes
by Henry Sanchez on Dec 18, 2011 8:11 PM EST up reply actions
1) Dwight is the second best player in the league and is a major, major upgrade over just about any center, even before considering that Deron is in the picture.
2) We could actually get away with keeping Brooks or Morrow, I think. We’ll see.
Nets probably wouldn’t be a championship team right away, but Dwight playing with Deron would bring him a lot more closer to winning it all than he currently is with Orlando.
Windhorst ESPN tweets
“Dwight Howard’s interest level in this game not admirable. About same as interest in his team. Heat up 20, Howard going thru motions.”
In all honesty...
this is all speculation with his body language. It really could just be rust and frustration during a preseason opener. HOWEVER, this is exactly what the Nets need. More media attention….more losing basketball, and more speculation about his body language. These are all positives from the nets standpoint.

he's playing hard but didn't look to good
it’s pre-season though but he should DOMINATE the Heat inside… they got a bunch of nobodies and Bosh as bigs

Trade for Robin Lopez? Would they accept Farmar+Petro+2013 First round pick?

Howard has to be blamed though. 2-9 just from the field. I can imagine how he went from the lien thus far.

He's purposely doing this
to get out of here. People wanted this, and they got it.

Glad he's doing that
maybe Orlando ownership will #FREEDWIGHT.

Is Dwight's offense really as bad as those stats?
I know D-Howard’s defensive abilities but damn Brook played much better.
Howard has no post moves
He relies HEAVILY on his freak athleticism to score. He can still get you 20 a night but most of those points would come from easy dunks/ free throws.

So my question is...
How do we surround a Dwight-Dwill pairing with some offense. I mean right now we’re severely lacking both but Brook seems to be our highest scorer (Brook, Deron, Morrow).
By keeping Brook
and signing Howard in the offseason =P
Morrow is the SG, Hedo will be the SF with $hes making
they will need to figure out something at PF position until offseason to sign someone actually decent with MLE
by Henry Sanchez on Dec 18, 2011 8:36 PM EST up reply actions
you can't play both Morrow and Turk IMO
although they are both shooters.. but terrible on D

you would need a PF that can stretch the floor...
Not necessarily to the 3pt line, but stretch the floor.
You would 2 or 3 good deadly shooters which we got in Morrow and Extra E
and you would need a legit Wing 2/3 that can score/take ppl off the dribble

Guess what
Put it this way orlando are no where near contending and turk got hurt even though its probably not so bad…but dont u guys think that they have a lot of pressure now to trade him asap because dwight doesnt even look like he cares and if turk gets a serious injury that takes him out for the season or for a while, meaning that they wouldn’t be able to trade him. if they really want turk to get traded they better make that trade asap b4 he gets injured. what do u guys think?
Brook Lopez could really help them tank the season
by DJ HeavyDuty on Dec 18, 2011 8:29 PM EST up reply actions
I think Turk's injury is the 2nd key to this
Whether it’s serious or not, they know they have to include him in any trade, so I think this will push them along even further.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
If orlando is trying to keep him
then their off to a bad start
dude is garbage

I think this was Dwight's message to ownership
‘’If you don’t trade me, i’ll dog it until you do’’.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Orlando isnt going to win anything, Dwight is going anyway why not get a nice draft pick and a nice young center right now? So during the season there is no distraction?
Its so funny Orlando fans cheering for Dwight
game over... ORL loses by 33

There's a case of the Crazies goin' on 'rond here.
Brook plays his heart out and plays well and even rebounds!
Board Response: "Oh, it’s just pre-season. He got lucky. Oh, it was a quiet 15/11/5/.
Dwight stinks up the joint:
Board Response: Oh, he’s sending a message. He’s Rusty. That was NOT evidence he has a limited post-game. He’s taking a stand.
The reaction should have Reality and been:
Geez. are guy may be a lame duck, and he still plays with heart, hasn’t missed a game in a year despite management surrounding him w/guys like Graham and Petro and trying to tank every season since he got here. And yet still the guy is one of the most talented centers in the league and plays through the disrespect. Warrior! I love him. Glad he’s on my team. He should be the guy we build around.
And Equally:
Geez that guy had an arena built for him. Management actually bends over backwards for him. He plays hard when he feels like it.. His game is dominant, yet still limited. He’s petulant and wishy washy. And he doesn’t seem to have fire. And now, he’s not being professional. Wow, I’m thinking it’s a bad idea to waste another year tanking and then giving up 8 years of draft picks and a borderline star and pieces for this kind of player.
And then you woke up
Brooks a stiff dwights a star
Nets for the ship!
I was sleeping, hence the bad spelling and grammar - I apologize.
What I won’t apologize for is the concept.
You all are going to regret this Dwight trail you’ve gone down.
How the hell do the Knicks have all this money to keep signing players.......
I thought that they were maxed out….No money….No Picks……….Ther Moising killing us……..Regardless of what you guys think here , Baron davis is a great pick up for them…….And they drafted Shumpert………………….We can’t even sign moising Hump…..What the Moiso is going on here………We are stinkin this place up……..
