Dwightmare Over! 4-Way Deal

[elcheato]

Well it appears that Dwight isn't going to commit to any team, so teams are just looking at him as a rental.

Why the fuck would Dallas become the next place on your list? You're not going to be "The Guy" until Dirk retires and at this point in his career he's a glorified Andrea Bargnani.

Orlando should make a deal with Dwight: He shoots 70% from FT line after first 20 games, he gets to pick his team. Under 70%, they pick.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

he'll never accept that deal. It's outrageous.

That didn't take long: now being told not to count out DH still making his way to the Nets. So list now is: 1.(Nets) Mavs.

Billy King must be some type of cap genius

 

[elcheato]

The only thing Billy King is a genius of, is not knowing what he's doing.

Tell him it's a sign and trade to Brooklyn and then trade him to fucking Charlotte.

Re: DH still finding his way to Nets. Should've added: Just maybe not right away.

Don't fuck with me Buches

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Dude forcing where he will play like this just rubs me the wrong way.

 

[BwareDWare94]

This is getting to the point that I hope his career derails. This is just bad. Orlando has consistently put contention worthy teams around him and they've had a great coach, but yet it isn't good enough for the fucking baby.

 

[The Young One]

He should get way more backlash than Bron..

 

[Pugz]

free agents don't officially sign until july 11th so they can still s&t gerald for dwight but thats pretty wack unless orlando just gives up and trades him.

 

[VC15]

For those who aren't sick of this yet, apparently the new Magic GM called the Nets back. This happened after the JJ trade.

I think I saw the deal somewhere saying it would be Marshon Brooks, Humphries, Lopez, 2013 first, 2015 First and 2017 First.

So, Dwill-JJ-GForce-?-Howard and shit bench lol

 

[Giantmetfan07]

how would that trade even work financially? backload deron's contract? i really don't see how it works.

Twenty-four hours ago it looked like the Nets were moving on from Dwight Howard, but things change fast in free agency. I say change fast because a version of this deal wasn’t good enough for Orlando at last year’s trade deadline and even recently we heard the sides were far apart, but suddenly everything has changed?

Maybe. Chris Broussard of ESPN tweets that they are.

Sources: The Nets & Magic are discussing a trade that would send Dwight Howard to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks… and the Nets’ first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017….move would give Nets Big 3 of D-Will, Dwight & Joe Johnson

Would, could, but it’s not that simple.

Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports that the Magic want (and the Nets are good with) Hedo Turkoglu and the two years, $23 million left on his contract to be part of the trade. Which I would insist on if I were the Magic because if I’m Orlando and I’m rebuilding I don’t want that anchor of a deal on the books. But adding that contract into the mix complicates the deal immensely.

Already this is a far from simple deal. Both Humphries and Brooks are free agents who would have to agree to a sign-and-trades to the Magic, for example. You may… actually, will have to overpay both of them to get them to go to Orlando. This could actually end up being a complex series of sign-and-trade deals with a lot of moving parts. It is not straight forward. A lot of things could blow it up. And there are multiple reports this is not the only deal the Magic are currently working on involving Howard — CBSSports.com’s Ken Berger calls it a full court press with the Magic talking to the Lakers, Hawks, Mavericks, Rockets and pretty much anyone else interested. How serious those other talks are is unclear.

But if it works, Nets GM Billy King will have pulled it off. They would have D-Will at the point, Joe Johnson at the two, Gerald Wallace at the three and Howard in the paint. A few days ago that would have seemed impossible. And it’s going to cost Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov a lot of money — just that starting four plus Turkoglu would have the Nets $9 million into the luxury tax without anyone else on the roster. Of course, he can afford it.

Howard saying he would only re-sign in Brooklyn certainly helped the two sides come come together and talk — teams like the Lakers and Clippers reportedly have interest in Howard but only if he agreed to stay with them. The number of trading partners the Magic had has fallen off and they don’t want him back when training camp opens.

So Howard may get his way, he may land in the New York marketplace, in a brand new building on a very competitive team.

Maybe. Things change fast in free agency.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

yea thats what i just read too. which is about $31M headed to the Nets so Lopez and Hump would be signing big deals to make this work.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Ken Berger says it's not imminent and NOT the only scenario Orlando is working on.

Hawks, Rockets, Lakers, and possibly even the Mavs might make a jump for him.
