Bucher: Nets Still Top Dwight's List

PrintIn an interview following the Magic's latest debacle in Philadelphia, Ric Bucher says little has changed in the Dwightmare, noting that Orlando is demoralized by trade talk from their leader, which Bucher characterized as "I don't want to be here...you guys are not good enough."
Bucher said the Nets are still in the lead for D12's services:
Latest I've heard is New Jersey is still at the top of the list, but the big question is can they make a deal. It's become clear that Orlando is not going to trade him before they have their big All-Star gala. You don't want Dwight Howard coming back to town in somebody else's uniform so they are going to wait until then to make a move. By then, Brook Lopez will be back from his broken foot and they can wait to see if they put that package back together.
As Hannah Storm responded, "wouldn't that be something else for that franchise."

Wondering what took so long. Thought maybe too many Dwight stories. Berger and Woj also have stories about how Dwight has lost his welcome in ORL.
My remarks are on previous post(s).

The question is are Dwight's remarks lately about Boston, Chicago and LAC just being nice to the local reporters (while sending a message to ORL)?
And I wonder who might be the first to report that Dwight might reject extension with Lakers if they traded Bynum+Gasol to get him?
They mention Dwight just wants to Win, but does he really want to path a new pathway (Nets/Brooklyn/Proky)?
If Howard went to Lakers, he would be a failure if they didn’t win a Championship.
However, Dwight going to Brooklyn would be a Success, regardless.
Everything depends on Lopez, as Bucher points out. He has got to move up his recovery schedule to a quicker pace than Avery would like.
The question is are Dwight’s remarks lately about Boston, Chicago and LAC just being nice to the local reporters (while sending a message to ORL)?
Yes. Recall Chris Paul humored the Bobcats and Melo humored non-Knicks teams as well.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
What if plan in to delay a Lopez return till after the trade deadline?
DH says I will only resign with the Nets…….
We lowball Otis with a bunch of picks and expirings.
6 more weeks
What if...
Privately that has already happened. Which is why they are threatening to hold onto him for the year. If we lowballed them and Otis accepts the offer because had no other choice because Dwight won’t sign an extension anywhere else and already told him this. Then the ownership vetoes the trade. Now, what is Otis thinking. Dwight wont sign an extension anywhere else do we send him to the nets for lopez , hold onto him for the end of the year and complete a sign and trade for spare parts or trade him to a team as a half a year rental.

Both Bucher and Broussard have said that Howard's top choice is Brooklyn in the last few days
and Broussard said Williams still wants to be with the Nets. That’s not a coincidence, that’s a clear reaffirmation from both the players that this is all ending up with them together in Brooklyn.

It's border line pathetic
Tht ORL needs to keep Dwight through the ASG. it’s not even that they’re still trying to convince him to stay, they are just trying to wring out as much cash as they can before their cash cow departs for greener pastures
Do you blame them?

Why would they want him on their team duing the ASG?
Is him in a Nets uniform really worse than the circus of Dwight trade questions that will cloud the game if he’s still playing for the Magic? Can Orlando really be stupid enough to not see how terrible it will be? Everyone else does.
The All-Star Game should be about their beautiful new building and promise for the future. Instead it will just leave a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth.

He'll be a magic until after the ASG but...
…i don’t see any scenario where he will NOT get booed during the introductions, whether wearing a Magic Jersey or another team’s jersey. He’s made his bed and now he’s peeing all over it with all these reports of his lack of leadership.
From my POV, the lesser of two evils here is him being booed wearing another team’s jersey. The NBA image is still on shaky grounds right now, how bad would it look for the hometown player to be booed in his own arena during the ASG. At least if he’s traded already, then the booing has some kind of little justification…a false one of course.
he has made his bed
you are right, its clear now…he wants out, its over…now its just a matter of where he will go
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's as if Captain Obvious is the only guy with any inside info on this Dwight nonsense
I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard something on the issue that I didn’t know already!
You think that tickets would go for even more if D12 was dealt prior to the ASG.
People would pay a lot to boo him in person each time he touched the ball.

So if Otis trades DH to us on March 15th
Could we delay his physical a few hours so DH’s first game as a Net is not in Orlando on the 16th?
Otis could request that be agreed upon as a condition to trade him.
I would be Okay with that.
I would prefer that.
The Nets may actually get a nationally televised game on TNT or ESPN if that were the scenario.
Does it matter?
Talk about TV ratings. Have to play that game.

I think Orlando ownership will not want DH in thier building
Unless it is spun real well, it would be bad for the Magic brand.
Lots of angry fans.
I agree - wouldn't have wanted Dallas to come to Izod
the day after JKidd was traded there. by the time he did come back – i cheered him (and later sang out “Thank you Cuban”) but those first few days I wouldn’t have wanted him to return
Otis must regret not trading for Lopez (pre-injury) + Gerald Wallace.
Wallace is playing better than expected and is too valuable now, and Lopez may never have broken his foot if the trade had not been rejected by deVos.
Hindsight is 20/20
Brook could injure his foot walking down the stairs if not a basketball court. I don’t like reading these type of comments because they really don’t make much sense long term.

Otis agreed to that deal

Not to change the subject but
Just how much of a big deal is marshon’s broken pinky toe? They are talking about he will be out indefinitely, I don’t get it…
well indefinitely just sounds bad, b/c you hear it a lot with serious injuries
it really just mean they is no set time for when he will be back yet. I can’t imagine a fractured pinky toe can be that long of a recovery. I’m sure we will have a better idea in a few days

D*** Vitale told mike and mike this morning stars get what they want, stars determine were to go. So all this chatter that dwight might go to chi or okc or nyk is laughable its nets or nothing, I’m starting to believe it. If the lakers wanted him why haven’t they trade there whole roster for him yet?
OT-but the chatter that if you get s.jackson will get Dwight is laughable because did SOURCES say if the cabs got Byron scott as there coach lebron would return there, and what happened?
Also, the Magic have trade D12
They need to go ahead and bite the bullet, Dwight is leaving either way. I think Otis knows that, the owners tide his hands and made this “dwightmare” worse because of ticket sales. Have they learned nothing from the mess that was the “melo drama” and how much Denver thrived after they traded melo. Granted they did get an unbelievable package for melo but I’m just sayin…
duh
We here @ Netsdaily know Dwight wants to be a Net! Its Otis and the rest of the world that must be notified
I actually don't think Otis is the problem, remember Otis did accept a Howard for Lopez/Wallace trade
Its the ownership thats the problem here
Yeah it's the owner
Can’t really blame him for not wanting to rebuild when he is in his 80s. Very ill-advised and makes no sense whatsoever long-term, and Magic organization should know better having gone through whole Shaq situation, but understandable.
Agree
If im the owner I hang onto Howard until the day i die, if possible.

and they tell us we're trading him for Bynum and the Mavs #1 pick
or a different package..
we have no idea what other offers are out there now.. or will be… but don’t be naive to think we have “hand” in this situation.. we don’t…

It's a no win situation for anyone
-The Magic teammates have to seriously dislike Dwight right now.. while it is a team game and they are all professionals.. his drama is not helping the team
-Dwight isn’t casting himself in a favorable light. He should have been more foreceful and adamant with the media before the year.. instead of the passive aggressive tone he took and is taking. If he said before the season “I love Orlando but I want to move on and want a trade now” publicly instead of through back channels or mumbling “its in god’s hands”.. maybe he would have had a different team by now.
-Dwight is looking like Melo 2.0.. and i fear that this will carry over to the next place he goes…
-For us, it puts Lopez and MarShon and everyone on edge like the Melo sweepstakes. Lopez’s relations with the nets are likely strained.. He probably gets dealt.. and is a RFA.. but in theory, he could sign the one year offer and bolt if he is not dealt for Dwight… Doubt he does that (risk of injury too high for a big man so long term security is important)
-Magic and nets fans get thrown under the bus..
It's just sports
Who cares? Just fodder for our entertainment. None of this really matters in the real scheme of life.
Entertainment. I’m enjoying the threads.

Actually I'm happy Brook's been injured
It’s kept him away from the media circus that would have surrounded him otherwise – and that’s what takes its toll on the other players possibly involved – and of course on D12’s teammates. Shame on Magic ownership for bringing this on themselves and the team.
I don't think it affects him as much as other players

If I can just hide, the sinner inside, and keep him denied.
How sweet life would be, if I could be free, from the sinner in me.
I'd prefer him to come via FA but
I’d take him via trade if we can get this over with as long as we don’t severely overpay
bad news?
wasn’t ever news at all. This is more of a dose of reality for those who had any little belief he might make free agency.
I wish
he’d come out and say that he’s rescinded his trade request because it’s taken too big of a toll on his team and that he’ll decide what team he’ll sign with in the summer, a la LeBron used to.

Seeing this team play without Lopez and Marshon Brooks
sort of shows me a tough, gritty team who isn’t a complete mess. Now add Howard and Turkoglu to that team. I still love me some Marshon Brooks and Brook Lopez, but I can always pick up the League Pass and watch some Orlando games.
Deron Williams/Farmar/Gaines
Morrow/Stevenson
Turkoglu/Shw. Williams
Humphries/Shl. Williams
Howard/Okur/Petro
Not too bad at all.
Gonna have to trade...
… a total of $19.4M in salary to take on DH12 and Turkoglu. Nets no longer have the cap space to absorb salary .
Lopez $3.1M, and Brooks $1.1M isn’t enough. Add Okur $10.8M, Farmar $4M, and still just need another body to make it work.
ummm, wasn't devin harris injured when we got him?
maybe my memory is off, but I could’ve sworn we had to wait a couple games before we got to see him play because he was nursing some kind of ankle injury.

Jarrod Rudolph
was someone I was following on Twitter cuz he seemed to be connected to the Orlando side of things. But the more he’d tweet about how the Magic can possibly make moves to satisfy Dwight, the more delusional he came off to me.
He tweeted once when the season started, “how many games into the season will we go before DWill asks for a trade out of New Jersey? 20?”
We just past that 20 game mark and ironically it’s D12 that’s on a team that looks like it’s quitting cuz of the star player wanting out. I didn’t see this coming. I thought the Magic will play well til around the deadline. Things may still change, but Rudolph was a bit too comfortable with his perception of the Magic and the Nets ideas throughout this whole situation.

if the magic contiue to lose
and decide not to trade him in before the All-star game. I may start thinking that Dwight has shown its Nets only. For them to keep waiting, it may mean that they are waiting for Lopez to get healthy. Because remember, Otis argreed on a trade before the season and MANAGEMENT killed it….It wasnt that they didnt want Brook. It was that they didnt want to lose their Superstar and lose all that money brought in from people wanting to see him play. Until i see him traded to team other than us. I will continue to believe that we are the only choice. The Magic have to wait, thus making us wait…. but this is just my opinion

How much more money do you think the new amway center would make at the all star break with Howard on thhe roster still?
i dont think the Allstar game matters in terms of a money aspect
I think the magic wont trade him befor that because they dont wana face the embarrasment of having Dwight playing in another teams jersey. Though to anwer your question, i would assume alot more money would be made. Wouldnt you want to go to the game if it was held here and Dwill was hosting it?

Does ORL really want to trade Turkoglu?
Remember back in the day when the Chris Paul rumors started how it was said the NBA would demand Okafor’s (much larger) contract would have to be taken on by any team acquiring Paul?
That didn’t happen. And quite frankly, I think Orlando wants Turkoglu; he’s the best point guard on the team (lol).
I think if a deal goes down, it will look like this:
Nets send: Lopez, Okur, MarShon, Rockets #1, 2013 #1, Cash

Marshon tweeted yesterday that he would be back soon which seems to be a lot shorter time than “indefinitely” . Anyone think they are holding him out to make sure he doesn’t get hurt?
Same with Brook. last week he was putting up shots, this week when the Dwight situation is deteriorating in Orl, Avery can’t see him coming back for a while.
Plus all of this weird Farmar and Morrow dumping and Captain Jack talk emerging, could something be happening behind all of this?

Worst case scenario
We rush lopez back too soon so we can “prove” to ORL that he’s healthy. He reinjures himself. We have no trade asset and no starting center.
Maybe there’s an even worse case out there regarding the trade?

If you want to trade a guy, you better give the team full value, meaning him at the best health possible. Orlando is dumb, but not that dumb

We don’t have to involve MIL just to get SJax,

Just a simpler Lopez, Brooks, Okur, picks package for Howard then.
I love how that trade only gives the Nets 2 more wins
That’s why I don’t like the PER.

My guess is future draft pick considerations should the two teams decide to make a deal in the near future.

Zhejiang Chouzhou, Smith’s team, was once positioned towards the top of the league, but have since slipped out of the playoff picture after losing six of their last eight. But, only one game out with a very easy remaining schedule, the Golden Bulls could very easily put themselves back in with a few wins. Smith leads the league in scoring with 34.2 points per game. Martin and Mills’ team, Xinjiang Guanghui, like Zhejiang Chouzhou, is also one game out of a post-season position.

Do what you have to do to keep Marshon out of that trade…
Orlando won't be turned off by an injured toe
If they’ll be willing to give Lopez’s foot a chance, they’ll also be willing to give Marshon’s smallest toe a chance.
It's only the chronic potential of Lopez's injury that should raise concerns
Marshon’s broken pinkie toe will heal.

No offense meant, but...
Besides not being a fan of this type of trade (well documented), I find most of this Dwightmare-centric stuff just noise.
But I would like to humbly engage one point.
This chatter (by reporters and fans and GMs) about the All Star Game and how Orlando would never want to host it and have Dwight in another uniform seems ridiculous to me, how bout anyone else?
The preposterous notion and conjecture that with all that would be at stake for Orlando (ie: getting back proper value on their All Star, not losing him for nothing to free agency, keeping their fans happy), that whether or not he is on the squad at the All-Star Exhibition Game would trump all those other loftier considerations seems, well, just that… preposterous.
Correct me if I’m missing something, but if that is the case, the ‘NBA Executive’ is truly the lowest intellectual species on the planet.
I don't get all this "other jersey" talk
if they trade him to the Nets, he’ll still be wearing the East jersey. What’s the problem?

NBAdraftNet is on point so far on Marshon
Strengths: Brooks gradually increased his scoring average in each of his four years at Providence, finishing his senior year second in the country in scoring at 24.6 points per game … At 6’5, Brooks has nice size for an NBA two guard, but it’s his length that should allow him to get his shot off at the next level … He has an uncanny ability to create his own shot, using a variety of change of speed/hesitation dribble moves to create separation moving East/West or North/South … He’s proven capable of shooting both off the dribble and off catch and release situations, and has range out to the NBA three point line … His first step allows him to get into the lane, where he displays impressive body control that allows him to hit off balance shots around the rim … His long arms and high activity level also help contribute to 7 rebounds per game … With his length and capable lateral quickness, Brooks has the potential to be an effective defender with more focus and NBA coaching…
Weaknesses: The ball has the tendency to stick to Brooks’ hands, causing teammates to stand around forcing stagnant and one and done offensive possessions … Doesn’t show the best shot selection, and throws up too many unnecessary heat checks … Physically he lacks the athleticism and explosiveness that most scoring NBA two-guards possess … He averaged close to 18 field goal attempts per game, so his scoring average could be inflated due to his role in Providence’s offense … He won’t have the opportunity to dominate the ball in the pros the way he does in college, so adjusting his spacing and adapting to his teammates could be a challenge for him in a new role … His body has good length but lacks great bulk/strength … Needs to put forth more intensity and effort on the defensive end …
Should we stop being so attached to Marshon?
He could be gone in a Dwight trade.
Yeah that is but this is what we lose if we trade this kid.

I really hope BKing can find a way to keep this kid.

Here is another Great Line if true
A team like the Nets or Lakers would want assurances from Howard’s people that he would re-sign before they commit significant assets to a trade. The Nets may have received this sort of assurance. The Lakers, Clippers and Bulls have not.

To me, that's bad news.
This signals that the Lakers might be willing to give up both Gasol and Bynum.
Sigh.
Note: I made that remark prior to reading -- well, skimming -- the article.
Well, I’m assuming that the Magic would not be interested in just a Bynum-for-Howard swap. I have trouble believing that Otis Smith would find that to be sufficient. From this, I’m left only to conclude that a conceivable trade would be one where both Bynum and Gasol are being traded — not necessarily to the Magic — as the Lakers lack another asset.
If the “Lakers’ brass” has reached a point where they’d be “understandably nervous” it signals that they are seriously considering orchestrating a trade for Howard. As stated earlier, it would seem that a mere Bynum-for-Howard swap is insufficient. So … they must be willing to include other assets (which would allow them to become nervous). Aside from the TPE — which isn’t big enough to absorb Turkoglu — the Lakers don’t really have anything. If they’ve reached a point where they are seeking assurance from Howard that he wouldn’t leave, it means that they’ve passed the perusing stage (if you will). This makes me think that they have given serious thought to the possibility of trading both Bynum and Gasol.
Of course, there is this:
However, the Lakers are reluctant to part with both Bynum and Gasol, even for Howard.
However, “reluctant” isn’t a strong enough word to conclude (for me, at least) that they’ve dismissed it.
What would a better word be?
Maybe “the Lakers refuse to part with both Bynum and Gasol, even for Howard”.
I think it's fine.
by NetsMets4Life on Jan 31, 2012 12:53 PM EST up reply actions
Of course the Lakers have thought about giving up both
I have doubts that that will actually happen. Look at how furious Kobe was this off-season about trading Odom for a trade exception. Imagine the backlash if Howard came to the Lakers.
Sure, for fans we see – ‘Oh snap! Kobe and Dwight! Damn!’.
In Kobe’s mind – ‘Crap…I just lost my starting front court and now I have to give up the ball…this is my team, I don’t want Dwight here to mess this up at this point in my career.’
What isn’t really touched upon in Coon’s article is the fact that Dwight probably doesn’t want to really follow in Shaq’s footsteps, given Shaq’s comments in recent months. Dwight wants to be his own man and cement his own legacy. The Lakers don’t really help him do that.
I understand you’re concerns, but they sound more neurotic when many signs point in favor of the Nets.
???
because they wouldn’t give up both of them for Dwight with an extension, but they might to get him without one?

Dwight isn't signing an extension anywhere
the point was that if LA gives up both Pau and Bynum Dwight could just walk away in free agency and they’d be left with nothing. I don’t think that’s a risk they are going to take.
Regardless of where Dwight is traded he has to opt out to sign a new deal so he WILL be a free agent at some point.

o/t but
Batum is apparently unhappy with Portland. He feels their contract extension offer was an insult and his agent said that they would talk to 29 other teams before they talk to the Blazers this summer. The problem is that he’s an RFA, but would Portland match an offer knowing he’s unhappy? Could he be traded for perhaps?

Still doesn't change anything on my end
Batum is not Dwight Howard. Anyone not Dwight Howard is option #2.
wow...i did not know this
They can complete a trade without an extension, letting Howard extend later with his new team. But the new CBA prohibits extensions within six months of a trade if the extension gives the player more years or money than he could have received in an extend-and-trade. In other words, this scenario is now identical to the extend-and-trade scenario.
So Nets wouldn’t be able to max him out til August if trade happens in March. Am i reading this right?
still think us being his first choice doesnt matter that much....
If any team on his “list”, even if it exists, come with a good trade offer, he’s going to that team. He needs to force himself here, that’s why I’m worried about this.

This would be Howard’s preferred option, since he gets both the team of his choice and the best possible contract.

A team like the Nets or Lakers would want assurances from Howard’s people that he would re-sign before they commit significant assets to a trade. The Nets may have received this sort of assurance.

They were never in the trade discussion. Only as a possible destination for FA signing.
But if Dwight does hit FA, why on earth would he not sign with Nets? Immediate contender AND only to get better for years to come!
That's exactly it
The Mavs are only a threat if he hits the open market. Which is why it would behoove Nets brass to get a deal done before the trade deadline.
Unless he gets assurance Mavs will get D-Will too
Would he sign there? We would have D-Will, MarShon, High pick, and Lopez. With young pieces this team will get better year by year not to mention cheap vets that they will lure. Dwight would only get a couple years window until the Mavs fall out of contention.
No way that will happen
All signs have pointed to DWill being happy here. If Dwight’s traded to the Nets, both move on to Brooklyn. That I’m 99% sure of.
The Mavs only become a fallback option if Deron is not happy with the Nets. All signs point he’s happy with the organization and his family is happy living in the tri-state area.
Deron has said that he’s trying to be patient because there’s a bigger picture here. He also understands that the Nets just lost Brook and Marshon to injuries, yet they’re still 7-14. It could be A LOT worse.
These ESPN "experts" seem to think that will happen

NJ Gets
J Smith
S Jackson
NJ Gets Dwight’s old AAU running mate in Josh Smith to go along with S Jax. Giving up Swag is hard but is needed to get Smith. Dwight comes in FA and we have the following lineup.
Howard
J Smith / Shawne
S Jax / Draft / Bogdanovic
Morrow
DWill
Atl Gets
Swag
Kaman (Expiring Contract)
Farmar (Player Option)
Atlanta does this trade because they are looking for a Center to pair with Horford. If Kaman plays well then they can resign him. If he doesnt work out then he comes off the books. Marshon gives them what they lost when Crawford left and is on a Rookie contract. Atlanta has alot of money tied up in Joe Johnson and Al Horford. Marshon would give them a very good player on a very good contract. Farmar has a player option he might exercise to explore any starting oppurtunities in FA. Josh Smith is a tough person to lose but he has asked to be traded. This trade allowes them to clear alot of money off their books.
Kaman
Horford
Joe Johnson / M Williams
Swag
Teague / Farmar
NO Gets
Okur (Expiring Contract)
Hou #1 ’12
The Hornets may want Okur’s expiring contract because if he cant play the rest of the year then the insurance company pays his salary. They also get a 1st round pick.
Mil Gets
Hinrich (Expiring Contract)
Petro
The Bucks want to get rid of S Jax ASAP. Hinrich is an expiring contract. Petro has to be included for cap purposes but they need a big since Bogut broke his ankle. This trade saves them 7 mil next year.
