Blackout Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 if the Nets land Howard they are a legit contender in the east (behind Miami of course) if not they are still a playoff team at least. i like what this team has done by getting D-will and JJ together and either getting Howard or bringing back Lopez and Humphries aka The Humpfr as i call him. as things stand they are the 4th or 5th best team but that depends on D-rose's health of course.

T0mShane Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 They should be able to move McBob's expiring and Eyenga at a minimum and can S&T any combination of Jordan Hill, Ebanks, Barnes, etc. It's far more likely than the Nets being able to S&T 5-6 guys to make a straight-up deal with Orlando. So I says, "there's no way Hector will know the Lakers' salary structures off hand. I can totally sum up the Aldridge reports about the Lakers squeezing in JRich's salary by saying they have 'no assets' to make that deal work, even if it's just hyperbole." Alas. Alasssssssssss. On another note, I forgot when I mentioned Marvin Williams earlier that the Hawks are about to turn him into Devin Harris's expiring. D12/CP3 or bust. Atlanta<Vancouver. In his myriad, vacillating trade requests, DH hasn't mentioned Atlanta as yet. I suppose if CP3 called him and said, "Yo Dwight, I'm gonna sign with Atlanta next year, so agree to that deal," I'm sure Dwight would think about it. But has CP given any indication that that's something even in the ballpark of his thinking? There's a big difference between playing at Georgia Tech for a year and playing on the Hawks for a career. That place, for whatever reason, is Siberia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sources indicated to the Beacon Journal on Sunday that there was no real substance to the trade negotiations and maintained that for the wild 72-hour ride that the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic dragged the NBA through while trying to hammer out a deal that would’ve sent Howard to the Nets. An Eastern Conference executive said Sunday the Nets were frantically reaching out to any and all teams with available cap space to try and get a deal done. That search continues, with as many as five new teams thrown into a rumor mill that has spun dangerously out of control. All indications point to the fact the Cavs were uncomfortable taking on Kris Humphries for more than one season of guaranteed dollars, particularly if the lone payoff is a first-round draft pick saddled with heavy protections.

Is Orlando going to take longterm contracts for both Lopez and Hump? Why would Orlando be stupid enough to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point all I can think of is that they feel they can move these players (if thats allowed since I ave no idea how double trades work in the NBA) midway thru this season or at the end of this season to a desperate team. Maybe moreso on Humphries since I dont see a team paying big money to Lopez, but at a moderate salary Hump could have value, but maybe its just finding the team desperate enough to want a player to make a playoff push.

We'll find out shortly because if a team provides an offer sheet to Lopez, the Howard trade is dead for the Nets at least until December when newly signed FAs can be traded.

They'll be the smallest team in the conference, not a good position to be in the East this year. As good a backcourt as they're going to have, I don't think anything can overcome that large of a deficiency over the course of a full season and into the playoffs.

SMC Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Howard is so dumb. Supposedly, the reason he opted in was to block a trade to the Lakers at the deadline. Howard was upset that Kobe told him that he, Howard, would be the 3rd scoring option on the team behind Kobe and Gasol. So he caught a tantrum and agreed to opt in if the Magic didn't trade him to the Lakers. That's how all the "Only to Brooklyn" stuff started. If he had accepted the trade to the Lakers he could have remained a FA for 2012 and have the option to sign outright with the Nets this summer. What an immature jackass. Nets may be better off without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
