As the Dwightmare slowly came to an end Wednesday, the Nets made one final pitch to the Magic for Dwight Howard.
Before agreeing to a new contract with Brook Lopez, the Nets offered four future first-round picks, Lopez and Kris Humphries in sign-and-trade deals plus $3 million in cash. They would take back Howard, Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark, a source told Ric Bucher.
The offer was rejected. The Magic didn't want Humphries, even with only one year guaranteed, and instead wanted the Nets to take on another player, Quentin Richardson. The Nets finally shut it down.
The Magic? Their list of potential suitors has dropped by one and Howard has told them once again, he wants out.
