Broussard: Howard Deal "Very Close"

Email
PrintIn an interview on ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike Friday morning, Chris Broussard said a deal between the Nets and Magic that would bring Dwight Howard to the Nets is "very close to happening". ESPN later tweeted that Broussard believes the "Trade could take place today" when Howard is expected to tell the Magic he wants to be a Net.
Broussard who broke news of Howard's intentions, said the deal, as he understands it, would be Howard and Hedo Turkoglu for Brook Lopez and two first round draft choices, presumably the Nets two picks in 2012: their own' first round pick and the Rockets lottery-protected pick obtained in the Terrence Williams trade a year ago.
Whether other players from either side would be included remains unclear.
Other than a tweet by Thunder beat writer Darnell Mayberry Thursday night, there has been no other reports regarding Howard and the Nets. On the radio, Adrian Wojnarowski could neither confirm nor deny Broussard's scoop. But Wojnarowski said that everybody has been waiting on Howard to decide between the Lakers and Nets.

Had to come from the D12's camp (as Broutard is reporting) - WHY!?!?
Nets are not leaking jack, and I doubt OTIS would’ve leaked anything; it just works against him as far as any bidding goes. D12 is trying to get this done before he even has to answer anything to the media.

they r not talking about dwight….bad sign?
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
Yea
Dwight (if true) isnt even leaving his house until this deal gets done today lol.
PLEASE TRY TO KEEP AT LEAST ONE 2012 PICK
that draft is too good to let it go
that's not happening...
2012 is a DEEP draft…Orlando would need both picks…and I think they’ll ask for a third…like 2013 first rounder.
If Orlando trades Howard now, they would likely have a lottery pick (their own), a pick in the 15-20 range if Hous makes the playoffs. Plus the Nets picks which should be in the mid-20s. That’s a solid start….Brook as a 23 year old building block and under the cap…after Arenas amnesty.
The rule is actually..
That you can’t go without a draft pick for 2 consecutive years. We drafted with the Lakers pick last year, so we can trade our 2012 pick.
As long as we don’t add “cash” to the deal, we’ll probably be able to buy a pick.
by KingofDenial on Dec 9, 2011 10:12 AM EST up reply actions
limited now...
only $3 mil can be sent out this entire season with new CBA Who knows, Orlando may ask for that $3 mil in this trade. It hurts the purchase of draft picks the most because rich owners have been doing it for a while now.
Picks can be bought.
Even with the new CBA there will be teams losing money or bumping up against the tax. Early 2nd rounders are just as valuable, if not more so, than late first rounders.

Remember, Nets have not signed anyone yet. All they have to do is amnesty outlaw and renounce the rights to Hump and Wright and the cap works. I see Farmar leaving in the deal more than Morrow.

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.

Was posted yesterday. Great letter.
However, it was the fear that DH12 would follow CP3 to LA as the main reason for being upset.
Gilbert is exactly correct.
Time to start naming the other 25 teams Washington Generals.
Now, if the Nets happen the be one of the 5 teams with multiple superstars, maybe I will change my mind, haha.
Why is it that I can't see the word "Travesty" anymore without linking it to Outlaw?

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I agree with him. Lakers should be forced to take on Okafor
(which wouldnt be bad for them anyhow)
Just seems that they dont have the assets to get Paul… was LAC really not interested?
The NBA would have done better with LAC’s Minny Pick and Al-AMinu.. rebuild and shed salary
Apparently they were. The were also gonna sign/trade for another big
They weren’t just going to wait on Dwight

You can't trade consecutive FUTURE picks
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Unless you already own a 1st round pick..
However, if it is a protected pick, it doesn’t count.
Nets can trade both their 2012 picks
Because they have a 2013 pick.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Nets used a first rounder in 2011 draft (doesn't have to be their own)
so I’m under the assumption they can trade all first rounders this season.
Remember if Nets go just over the cap, we still can get 2 more players with Exceptions.
Players such as AK47 will be begging to join the Nets at a discount.
1. LLE (2 yrs at 1.9 M per year).
2. mini-MLE of 2 yrs. at 2.5 per yer.
VC would be ideal with the later.
nope
would have to renounce his BR in order to get his cap hold off our cap so we have enough room to absorb both Dwight and Hedo.
what if Farmar was shipped...
I did a quick calculation last night…and I thought that would bring us to about $1 mil under the cap. Then Nets could go over the cap to sign Bird Rights player…Hump starting at $6 mil.
Why?
Dwight and Hedo are not coming as FA’s. As far as I know, the cap holds only affect free agents and not trades.
But Hump can only be traded if he is part of the Nets (that is own Bird rights with a 6.08 M cap hold).
I don’t think Nets can trade Hump if they first renounce his rights.
I'm not talking about trading him
I’m talking about re-singing him since we’ll be at or over the cap anyway. I don’t think cap holds apply if it’s a trade for Dwight and Hedo. Remember when Lebron and Bosh got traded to Miami? The Heat couldn’t sign Bron and Bosh outright w/o renouncing Haslem. W/ the sign and trade, they were able to get the players and and still give Haslem that extension.
Salary difference in the trade is too great...
…as such both the Nets and Magic need to be below salary cap after the trade for it to work.
Outlaw needs to be amnestied too.
That is why both Morrow and Farmar might have to be included, in order to send more salary to ORL.
If I was ORL, I would want all three on my team besides Lopez.
ORL needs proven players to show to their fans also.
Morrow shouldn't be traded
at all. Deron and Dwight singled him out as a shooter they want to play with.
by The Cole Train on Dec 9, 2011 9:36 AM EST up reply actions
But there is a 6.08 million cap hold that makes it complicated.
One way or another, Hump will be part of this deal.
BK is in touch with Hump’s agent.
Hump might not mind going to ORL if he is get about 38 million over 5 years (start at say 6.5).
WE ARE THE NETS!
don’t have a good feeling but optimistic none the less, remember when the melo deal was done.

This would be a great way to end the tenure as a Net
and move into brooklyn.
Hopefully Nets can win a ship for NJ if this trade goes through and we make some moves to solidify the rest of the roster.
Don't trade Morrow or Farmar or Brooks preferably. Add Picks on there--heck even a third first rounder.
Throw James on there, Petrio. Whatever. We’re giving them Lopez and amazing cap flexibility so that’s gotta mean something.
If Nets pull off deal, it would still take another year before Nets would be a Championship contender, but I can wait.
Nets would become the desired spot for good players willing to offer a Big discount.
Nets would get a nice player with MLE NEXT year, if DH12+DWill happens now.

Keep in mind, even if Howard pushes for the trade, the Magic would have to agree to it and the league would have to … not nix it.

actually it's not false
in their by laws or constitution or whatever, there is a clause that says the commish can veto a trade if he deems it “not beneficial to the overalll status of the NBA”.
So yeah, they can nix a trade, never been done (until CP3).

Not really
Bynum is not a very hot trade piece. Look at what NO would have dragged in:
Odom
Scola
Gortat
and Kevin Martin
Add that to Okafor and you have the makings of a fantastic team.
Odom is over rates
Kevin Martin is fickle though he is really good and scola is a bull but hes been injured too. Okafor may have gone to the Lakers with Paul in the final deal.
It wasnt...
Like many said yesterday, its unblievable that we had to trade Harris, Favors and picks for Dwill and all the Lakers had to send was two 30 year olds. N.O. looked like it was trying to screw themselves over…

We can re-sign Hump
The trade for Howard and Turk won’t be affected by cap holds. There’s a reason why Miami got both Haslem and Mike Miller on their roster right now. They traded for Lebron and Bosh and then used the MLE for MIller and used their retained bird rights for Haslem to extend him.
So you're saying...
PG – Deron
SG – Morrow
SF – Hedo
PF – Hump
C – Dwight
That doesn’t even seem fair.

They traded for Lebron and Bosh and then used the MLE for MIller and used their retained bird rights for Haslem to extend him.
But Hump wouldn’t be extended, he’d sign a new deal. Might make a difference, not sure.
Haslem was a free agent.
Hump is a free agent. Heat had Haslem’s bird rights. We have Hump’s bird rights.
Bird rights...
allow a team to resign its own players who become free agents at the end of the previous season. There are three levels of qualification – 1) Bird Exception (played three years with same team without being waived or traded); 2) Early Bird Exception (played two years without being waived or traded; and 3) Non-Bird Exception (no qualifying time to fit into the first two categories). The different classifications indicate the amount of money a team is allowed to offer its qualifying/non-qualifying players. It looks as if K-Hump falls into the third category, hence there would not be as much of a bonanza for him, although his average salary could go above $7MM, if I’ve calculated properly for up to six years.

Does anyone know when Amnesty begins?
Because neither the Knicks deal or the Nets bid for DH12 could be official until after Amnesty begins.
Broussard is part of the news.
He is the one that scared off Howard to the Lakers, after he saw all the anger of creating a Super Team in LA.
I am surprised that no one has commented on that point.
Howard wants to go in his own direction. The LORD told him.

What a time to come back
Hey guys. Remember me? It’s been far too long, but I’m back!
I’ve been lurking in the shadows for months, checking the site multiple times each day, but I just haven’t ha the time for considered replies thanks to a ridiculous work schedule (I work in the media here in Australia). I figured that I didn’t want to make an idiot of myself with half-assed replies on a fan site of this quality, so I’d just take a back seat for a while.
But I couldn’t let this whole Dwight thing go without at least chipping in to the conversation.
First – I’m loving everyone’s sheer jubilation! We Nets fans have had a lot to feel bad about over the years (the 20 or so I’ve been a fan) but this is something that is just too hard to keep a lid on, emotionally.
When I heard about this earlier today, I honestly almost cried. Insane, right? It just marks such a significant time – the point at which we’re finally taken seriously again. Barclays Center and Mikhail Prokhrov started our road back (for want of a better term) and this, if true, will put the bitumen seal on it. We’ll be taken seriously as a team, as a franchise. And, personally, it matters immensely that we’re respected after so many years of being a laughing stock (at least over my lifetime).
Dwight and D-Will have the potential to be the greatest guard/big combo since Stockton/Malone and even saying that gives me goosebumps.
I know me coming back now will give me a seat on the bandwagon, according to a few of you. That’s fair enough, I haven’t posted in a long while and my return post is to our most positive story since we landed D-Will (which even then I’m not sure I was on NetsDaily for). But hopefully you remember enough about my past here, and see enough from my future, to realise how much I love this team.
It’s great to be back – seeing so many familiar faces and a huge number of new ones. The health of this site is so, so pleasing. Keep up the good work, everyone!
Cheers.

I think we have to amnesty him
in order to fit just Howard and Hedo for Brook Lopez. Otherwise, we’d have to send 6-7 million to Orlando in salaries. Might not be what they want.
I must have a cold heart. Can't be excited about Howard trade until it happens
We’ve been let down too many times. If/When it happens, then I’ll scream from the rooftop…

Sources say Dwight Howard will ask Orlando to trade him to NJ today. Trade could take place today.
This trade makes me nervous. How are we going to win with Turkoglu’s contract eating up the books?
When can we use stretch exception?
He has his uses as a shooter and playmaker
But will he be happy with Deron handling the ball all the time? He doesn’t like that

Woj on this Broussard rumor
“As of 24/48 hours ago, Howard was still deciding and it was Lakers or Nets for his future, and those have been his 2 teams for awhile. I’m not casting any doubt on the rumors, but I have no information on this rumor. Not saying it’s wrong. I don’t know that Howard has expressed to the Magic his decision.
Butverybody was waiting for it. Agents waiting for it. Magic were waiting for it. Whether it was LA or NJ or staying in Orlando."

- BUT – he said EVERYBODY has been waiting for him to come to a decision on this matter.
- He said his agents were waiting for it, the Magic were waiting for it, everyone wanted to know if he wanted LA, NJ, or to stay with the Magic – but he’s not going to stay in Orlando

Not really
Gilbert’s complaint was that the Lakers got CP3 and saved 40 million for their cap and draft picks. Interestingly, Gilbert put all that in there AND mentioned Dwight as the reason why the Lakers were doing the deal that way. We’d be giving up picks, and taking back Hedo’s contract, so the deals are in no way similar.

because we’re not sending them back a ton of bad salary contracts like the Lakers?

My theory (which I think is true) is Woj and Broussard are both right
Woj has better NBA sources
Broussard’s best sources are on the player/agent end.
So both may be right.. Howard may be on the verge of deciding he wants Nets.. but Woj is right too that the teams havent had formal talks.
In fact, based on Broussard’s history, I think most of what he reports is from the agents. He may have some inside contacts in the Knicks from his NYTimes days.. not sure

omg the nba doesn't have to "allow" the trade to happen

well the difference
is that the league owns the Hornets. So you have 29 guys who have a legitimate complaint. If they didn’t and Gilbert sent that email, Stern would have told him too bad.

"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Would blazers have decent cap space in 2012
with Roy off the books.Camby comming off the books (i think) and oden on a 1 year deal. And Potentially Amnesty on a player. Chance to team with LA could be attractive for some players.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Well if it is a full year...
Does that mean that it will not happen at the start of next season due to the late start of the season. You know, that the Blazers will have to wait till 2012-2013.
What I'm wondering
Offseason hasn’t started yet but it look like its a year from now time wise as oposed to going by the season.

This is a strong offer that basically puts the Nets a step ahead of every team except one in the Howard sweepstakes — they can provide a good young center and give the Magic $25 million in cap relief.

All this “Dwight will inform Magic…” makes no sense. He sither told him some time ago and they work quietly with King to finalize a trade, or he never opened his mouse.
I’ll tell you even more, if today within an hour after 2 pm Dwight is not a Net, this has less and less chances of happening. Because Nene will not wait forever and Sheldon Williams as our only FA this offseason is just a joke and that measn D Will is going bah-bye.

that is what has given me a bit of hope here
he cant stand being disliked, and this has driven orlando fans over the edge, he would have denied it to placate them. he has been silent
There's no confirm cuz Billy and Otis aren't leaking
This went from Dwight to Deron to Broussard, who Deron chats with a lot
all just my opinion obvi
Every beat writer for Orlando saying he will be at camp today
Only logic is that is what front office is saying just in case deal doesn’t get done today?
Ric Bucher reported that he's heard that Deron Williams and Dwight Howard have discussed playing together in the future. - Kevin Baumer
Possibly
The Orlando sentinel said Dwight’s silence on this “is deafening”. they buy it, kinda
Dwight could also show up at camp
and deny this. and that would suck
lets hope it doesnt happen
If (when) he shows to camp
He has no choice but to deny. He can’t say, yeah, I want to go to Nets, and then also be working out with his current team.

Just too much chaos, too much uncertainty to think anything will happen today
But this will literally be Dwight or bust.
We can’t sign Nene if this is a real chance. But if Dwight chooses LA… We end up with absolutely nothing. Our big signing will have been Shelden Williams
There was a lockout. No CBA
Can it even be tampering if the players talk amongst themselves ?

Not sure we will know until later, but looking like that's the case.
Ric Bucher reported that he's heard that Deron Williams and Dwight Howard have discussed playing together in the future. - Kevin Baumer
The deal today part was always dubious
But it is clear what set this in motion was the potential trade of CP3 to the Lakers. Then Dwight knew he had to choose the Nets, his agents informed the team and told Dwight he had to tell that decision to Otis.

This tampering thing prooves otherwise.
By the way, contact would have to have been made after CBA ratification last night. They have a hard case to prove.
The NBA has a poop storm on their hands
First they get hit nailed for trying to collude with the Lakers and now Orlando is threatening to file tampering charges.
If Dwayne Wade was allowed to act as a proxy for Miami’s front office, they will have to slap any and all charges down if it comes out that Deron had contact with Dwight
The NBA set the tone for this kind of nonsense almost 20 years ago when they allowed the Lakers to tamper with not only O’Neal but Kobe Bryant as well. Piss off

Magic announce they plan to improve the team and not trade Howard, so as to not bring his value down. Howard gets pissed they didn’t listen to him, and has his people leak out that he wants to go to NJ. Magic get pissed that now they WILL get low blows, and so consider filing tampering charges in desperation.
That won't last

I'm about to file tamponing charges against some of these reporters.
Jeez! A bunch of complaineypantses.
Zach McCann: There’s a decent chance the Magic make the trade with New Jersey. I just don’t agree with it. 1 minute ago

Simple solution- NO-ORL-NJ 3 team deal. I broke trade machine though
Orlando gets: Chris Paul, Okafor, ariza, jack, poindexter, ewing jg (Entire NO roster)
NJ gets- Hedo, Howard
NO gets: Lopez, Brooks, Nelson, Reddick, Liggins, Bass, Harper, Quentin, Duhon, Anderson, Orton, Two #1 picks form NJ
NBA adds youth to NO.. gets Howard to NJ.. and Magic stop whining until Paul leaves them
Ridiculous
How can they say the Laker offer is better than the Nets? Who the heck is more likely to re-sign with the Magic… The Big Disney or Andrew Bynum?
I’ll give you a hint, one of them is a RFA
I've been away for awhile.
Did we get Carmelo Anthony or what?
Don't muddy my celebration.

ugh
According to sources, the Knicks have offered Amar’e Stoudemire to Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul.
If true then Lakers will make a push for Howard.
If tampering charges push through, bad blood between Orlando and Nets now
Try for Dwight next year? They can keep Hedo.
FIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The root of it on the Nets side, according to two sources, is alleged meeting between Dwight and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov on Thursday.

Glen Davis was one of the free agents that Dwight Howard told the Magic to pursue. This is clearly Otis Smith trying to appease Howard.

If this is true
It would ruin our chances of a Dwight trade.
Not at all.
The penalty would be a combination of future picks and cash. This is an extortionate play, that is all. Magic is trying to force more assets out of the Nets. I find it hard to believe that anyone from the Nets management was dumb enough to have any unapproved contact with Dwight.

Big part of this is still the Cap Relief
Orlando knows they’ll have to take on more money if they try the trade later on

The alleged Proky-Dwight meeting, according to source who spoke with the Magic about the situation, is believed to have happened in Miami.

Where is Jerry when we need him
Needs to investigate the whereabouts of Prokhorov and Dwight on Thursday
It does kinda make sense
IF it’s true that Howard’s father fired his agent afterwards. Which may not even be tampering, technically.

I can believe Proky met with Dwight
after all the man has tried his hands in Russian politics where it isn’t considered corruption unless some one goes missing. But King I would think would know better

yes
not getting, but have a sick feeling. Talk about a way to set franchise back. How could they be this dumb. Knew it would get out.
Ric Bucher reported that he's heard that Deron Williams and Dwight Howard have discussed playing together in the future. - Kevin Baumer
Orlando cannot wait to trade Dwight.
The longer they wait, the less they will get and the more disruptive to their team the trade will be. Additionally, if they tried to trade him to someone other than the Nets, he refuses to extend and Orlando simply sets back their reset of the franchise until next year and they don’t get as much. If they don’t trade him before the end of the year, if not sooner, Otis Smith should be fired. Dwight is obviously not staying with Orlando. Oh, wait, they might get Glen Davis. Well, now that changes the whole landscape doesn’t it? How has this man kept his job as GM of the Magic? What a joke.
