Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Howard Wants Trade to New Jersey; Nets Offering Lopez to Orlando

Ticketbody3_edited_tiny by Net Income on in 2011 Free Agency

With a post-midnight tweet, Chris Broussard changed the perception of the Nets' free agency efforts: "Nets have emerged as No. 1 choice for Dwight Howard, multiple sources say. D12 is expected to ask Magic to trade him to NJ."

Moreover, reported Broussard, "Nets still pursuing Nene in case deal for Howard falls through. NJ offering Brook Lopez & 2 1st rnd picks."

Hours before, Darnell Mayberry of the Daily Oklahoman tweeted that he had heard reports of Howard trade to the Nets.

The trade, if it worked out, would give the Nets two of the NBA's top 10 players. Later, Broussard wrote the Nets had been informed of Howard's wishes and that Howard may not show up for the Magic's training camp on Friday.

"The appeal of the Nets for Howard is the chance to play with all-star point guard Deron Williams and excitement over the Nets' move into a brand new arena in Brooklyn for the start of the 2012-13 season," wrote Broussard, echoing what the Nets management has been saying for nearly a year, ever since the Williams trade.

The effect of the leak to Broussard was to cast uncertainty in the minds of GMs other than Billy King. It suggests that if Howard was dealt anywhere besides New Jersey/Brooklyn, he could walk in July.

Although the Nets had struck out on Caron Butler, Tyson Chandler and Tayshaun Prince Thursday, they seemed close on Josh Howard, the 6'7" former All-Star who played for Avery Johnson at Dallas. Other than Butler, Josh Howard is reportedly the only other free agent the Nets have met face-to-face.

The only note of caution, and no doubt there will be more of them, was the NBA's decision to kill the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers, purportedly for "basketball reasons" but more likely because the league, which owns the Hornets, feared it would be perceived as favoring the league's richest team. The Chris Paul situation shouldn’t impact the Dwight Howard scenario.

Yes, because remember...

we would have been able to sign good players and then bring back lopez and go over the cap… so it’s not just Howard vs. Lopez; it would be Howard vs. Lopez and other good players…. and also no Turkoglu contract, which is a killer.

whoever we would sign with the additional money we would be able to spend that is nto spent on Howard… because we could then have gone over the cap to re-sign Lopez, and a really good player who could have gotten the money we’re gonna be stuck giving Turkoglu.

Your reasoning is flawed, at best.

You don’t want to upgrade at center (to possibly the most dominant player in the game, no less) but want the team to take a chance that it could trade for other guys who would not make nearly as much of an impact? Has your therapist told you that sabotage your own success?

Is that you will have to deal with the same agents down the line. Gilbert hated LeBron but he still did the sign and trade deal.

by JJ_22 on Dec 9, 2011 2:05 AM EST up reply actions  

No he can't

Simply because the NBA owns the Hornets. They have the right to stop that deal, so it’s not collusion. CP3 does not have a strong legal case.

Hopefully Otis wont let it come to that
If Howard is indeed committed to joining the Nets, he can all but force the Magic to make the trade by declaring his intentions not to sign a long-term contract with any other team, thereby assuring that those clubs make low-ball offers to Orlando.

just did a quick calculation...

Howard + Turk

takes up 22 of our 23 cap space after amnesty for Outlaw. Nets could still re-sign Hump to play PF with the cap hold…starting at around $6 mil per year.

Nets could go the AK route if he takes exemption money.

the reason Hump works is because of the cap hold. Once we use that…the only thing left would be an exemption. Then Nets would have to be lucky to land any good wing for that price. But maybe AK is in on the whole thing.

LA may go hard after D12. D12 may like the Nets, but if he gets offered LA he won’t say no.

did you not see how the Lakers were B---in when they thought they were traded?

Odom was a fifth away from checking into rehab after thinking Stephen A. was the male Oprah. Gasol acted like Houston was America’s Afghanistan.

Kobe is still going to try and run everything like Tony Montana even when he’s 40 years old.

What GM is going to trade for that and even try and sell that to their fanbase?

Did I mention Bynum is still suspended, will finally play a full season because its 60 games, and is finally going to break out this year

Not about how large the fanbase is, but, how cocky they are when their team has been in the gutter for over a decade and haven't won a championship in over three decades.

It is more the younger generation of fans, the ones that were not even around to witness the Knicks actually win their last championship. In addition, I can’t stand the lack of recognition for the Nets in the New York media, more specifically the radio and television outlets. I think the newspapers do a good job covering both teams, however!

Ok...

Is that like when Chris Paul and Howard were coming to the Knicks? Or how you can still sign Steve Nash next year with Chandler? Dude, wake up. The more popular your team is, the more casual fans you have. The more casual fans you have the less likely they are to know whats really going on and what is really possible. They are like sheep.

they’re the top dog in town, and we’re gunning for them. call it obsession, call it a budding rivalry, but when inter-city rivalries get heated and emotional, it’s a great thing. folks here are being exuberant over perhaps the greatest news this franchise has seen in a decade, maybe since the last trip to the finals, or maybe in its history, so cut us some slack.

Once player on opposite team traded to new team

New team cannot use amnesty on that player. Hedo would not be able to be amnestied.

Most important thing about this.

Howard wants Nets. If this is true and nets know it. Then they can wait untill Orlando are ready to deal and don’t need to worry about cap space. However nets are clearly a little worried if there still after Nene.

the timing of this "leak" isn't that good considering what happened with the CP3 trade. I'm a bit uncomfortable with this thought.

yes, the league owns the hornets, but the owners now may want to ban together and block any trade from where the superstar players say “trade me to this team or that team and no others”

I'd hope to think that..however..you have nutjobs like Dan Gilbert sending Stern a letter after that CP3 trade

I think some of these owners will truly ban together and put pressure on Stern if Dwight is traded to the Nets. if this trade happened with out Dwight’s “demand” , perhaps it’d be different. but as long as stars are saying, even “demanding” a destination…I’m skeptical.because even though the Nets and Magic aren’t owned by the league, Stern can still veto a trade. and with massive pressure, he may just do that.

Absolutely

With Dwight and Deron, we’re soon to get the NYC market love that the Knicks have enjoyed, regardless that the Nets were across a river in the same metro area and market. Good for the Nets = good for the NY bball market and ratings = good for the league. The rivalry will be huge for the league.

The Lakers almost got away with it

What I found striking in the Cavs owner’s letter that many, including journos, missed were:

1) By trading Gasol’s 19 million and Odom’s 9 mil and taking in ‘only’ Paul with his 16 mil, they would’ve also earned a traded layer exception of around 11 mil. That was enough to absorb Hedo! That would’ve cancelled out the Nets’ cap space advantage.

Meanwhile, with all the players they were absorbing (Martin, Scola, Odom), New Orleans would’ve maxed out its cap space.

2) The Lakers also were not supposed to give up any picks. Houston, the collaborator, was the one sending a pick to NO. Even if they were late picks, LA’s picks would’ve still been available for a Howard trade.

LA was on the way to a Kobe-Paul-Howard super team that got started with a dubious trade but thanks to people like the Cavs owner, after the initial shock, this travesty was stopped.

it was also said that Howard will not report to camp today, as a means of expediting Orlando trading him to the Nets. I believe that was in the Broussard article

by JimmyLips on Dec 9, 2011 7:48 AM EST up reply actions  

Don't think so

If he’s traded to the Nets, he can get a max from them next season correct?

If he just signs, he leaves a lot of $$ on the table.

He’d also want to start playing with DWill right away, I’d think anyways.

No, you're not.

I was having this conversation with NetsKing last night (not on ND) that, if this is, in fact, the case, King has to play it shrewdly.

I think he should push to get a deal done without Turkoglu. Or at least make it so that Petro and Farmar are getting sent back for Hedo. Smith doesn’t have a viable alternative.

Dan Gilberts Letter

Commissioner,

It would be a travesty to allow the Lakers to acquire Chris Paul in the apparent trade being discussed.

This trade should go to a vote of the 29 owners of the Hornets.

Over the next three seasons this deal would save the Lakers approximately $20 million in salaries and approximately $21 million in luxury taxes. That $21 million goes to non-taxpaying teams and to fund revenue sharing.

I cannot remember ever seeing a trade where a team got by far the best player in the trade and saved over $40 million in the process. And it doesn’t appear that they would give up any draft picks, which might allow to later make a trade for Dwight Howard (They would also get a large trade exception that would help them improve their team and/or eventually trade for Howard.) When the Lakers got Pau Gasol (at the time considered an extremely lopsided trade) they took on tens of millions in additional salary and luxury tax and they gave up a number of prospects (one in Marc Gasol who may become a max-salary player).

I just don’t see how we can allow this trade to happen.

I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
Dan G.

I imagine this is nowhere close to being done, but that the Nets will do their best to try and make it happen.

I’m just hoping we don’t hear something like Woj say “Sources indicate rumor of Howard demadn to NJ not true, wants to evaluate options at end of year.”

1) They quoted Gilbert’s letter and left out the whole part where he astutely points out the Lakers arent forced to take on extra salary, actually cut salary and are given a trade exemption

2) He says the deal “was a great deal” for the Hornets… That is debatable.

3) He is SO pro-player and is a puppet for their talking points. Says Kobe was “waiting for him” at the airport and Paul was “about to get on the plane”. Wahhh..

Its VERY IMPORTANT to get this deal done ASAP

You can’t give teams like the Lakers and Knicks a chance to regroup and make their own presentations to Howard’s people. You can’t give them a chance to muck up the works.

You gotta get this done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and you have to approach this with a sense of URGENCY, because Howard is the type of player teams will kill for.

Exactly

They get a TE ANDDDD still keep their draft picks. Meaning they can offer everything we can, except it is Bynum instead of Lopez (which for some reason, seems to be thought of as the better player).

I’d be fine with that trade if the Hornets got 2 picks from the Lakers as well. It only seems like a sham to me because EVERY star traded, should bring back 2 draft picks… not 30 year olds.

If it’s true this could give us some leverage nogotiating, because if they don’t trade him now, the Nets will land him as a free agent, so we could make some demands like not receving Turk, or even if we receive him we send them Petro and/or Farmar so we could have some cap space to sign a PF, probably Hump and and a cheap SF like Josh Howard.

Williams
Morrow
Turk or Howard
Hump
Howard

That’s a very good lineup to start this year.

DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...

Or even RJ, that may be cheap too

Well shoot, if that happens..

We could potentially sign a player up to 11 or 12 million. Nene you think? Will he take 12 mil to play with Dwight and Deron?

More likely would probably be Hump and AK.. which I’m fine with, as long as Superman is here.

Well I think we can go over the cap to resign the hump

If we don’t renounce his cap hold.

we may have to though

I’m not familiar with the salary exchanges of any deal even though we don’t have much details on package.

Another thought...

Would be to just stay around 6 million under the cap, and hope to win the bid for Amnestied players. Brandon Roy and likes.

Don't Hold Your Breath!

I remember the Melo think looking this close! I would believe this more if some other writers were reporting it. Not even Al Iannazzone! I think this may be Nets Propoganda. But it would be great and make Newark Rock. I just can’t imagine for the life of me why DHoward would pick the Nets over the Lakers or any number of other teams. Yes, we have DWill and Cap space, yes we have Brooklyn, but LA has brighter lights and Kobe and maybe CP3. I just can’t believe it until I see him on the Podium. It just seems staged.
