Nets & Magic in serious discussions

[Celtics4ever]

Many here thought he might want to come here but he has not even mentioned us as a possibility.

[Celtics18]

Boy, would it be nice if this deal happened, putting an end to the Dwightmare (credit to mkogav for the term and a Tommy point as well).

[Lord of Mikawa]

Let him go to the Nets. Just another location for us to embarrass him at.

Allegedly the Magic are still bent on Bynum:

As Orlando works to unload Dwight Howard, Magic focusing on Lakers' Andrew Bynum as top target, sources tell Y! Sports. Story soon on site.

The Magic are just toying with the Nets and Howard do you really think they're going to give Dwight what he wants?

If it gets the Magic the best possible return for Howard, who cares?

I don't want Howard playing for the Lakers.

Chris Mannix says the Nets are willing to take back Hedo in a deal for Howard.

Not sure how they can, having just signed Teletovic to the MLE. Still, if there's a way, that's an important consideration to factor in if I'm Orlando.

I trust what Woj says more than almost anyone else. As SHAQATTACK has said multiple times - the Lakers and Dwight really are destined to be together.

  I think this is fairly entertaining to watch. If Dwight tells the Lakers he'll go to Brooklyn instead of re-signing with them, do they ask him if he can get by on the MLE for the next few years? Does Danny just wait while Howard decides to play for other teams and then somehow bungles it until the Celts have their turn as the only team on his list?

haha what a mess.  Dwight Howard has bested the Decision by 100 X and if the high and mighty LeBron haters don't hate Dwight far more now they have shown their position to be hollow.

On the MLE thing, the players union just couldn't allow that to happen.  But what a mess really.

If the Lakers get Dwight Howard, I'm done with the NBA.

i'm kind of hoping the hawks fail in their attempt to land howard.
would open the door for dealing smith.

[celticinorlando]

howard won't be enough for the lakers to win....plus they have too much money wrapped up in kobe and gasol


how can the nets take joe johnson, Dwill and howard all on?

They can't, especially now that they've used the full MLE and limited themselves to 74 million.

Dwill/Wallace would need to take paycuts and also have a ton of RFA and FAs all sign a complex mix of S&T contracts.
