If that trade goes through, balloting for Executive of the Year should be cancelled and the award should go to Danny Ferry now.

Nets had to make some deal to keep Dwill in Brooklyn. JJ is overpaid but it isn't like a Kmart contract that is 7 years in length
Dwill/JJ is a nice backcourt
Wow, what does Dwight do now? I wonder if more teams will be willing to trade for him now that Brooklyn is off the table for him.

Marcus Thompson @gswscribe (http://twitter.com/#%21/gswscribe)Oh, forgot to tweet this earlier. I'm told the Warriors are NOT interested in trading for Dwight Howard unless he signs extension
I wonder if there's there any way Atlanta makes a play for Dwight now. Anthony Morrow and Josh Smith are his boys.

Looks that way, but there are always other teams that don't get reported. I have a feeling a mystery team might snatch him.

Question now that there may not be many suitors left, is does Orlando wait until the trade deadline to move Dwight since teams will now lowball them?
Ship Dwight to Portland and let those docs handle his back rehab. That'll teach him.

LA's going to eventually blink and agree to send them Bynum. Of course, Bynum has to agree to the extension, essentially giving LA the right to trade him.

Don't think he'll wait that long. Might wait until Dec 15th. That's when all the free agents signed over the summer are eligible to be traded.

Cully was right about Dwight...but don't you feel just a little sorry for him...:lol
Dwight's only sabre rattling...he's trying to regain leverage from the Magic after he foolishly opted in...He's not going to take a 30 million pay-cut...he will resign with whomever trades for him..unless he's truly the dumbest person to ever grace planet earth. I guess he must feel betrayed by Jay-Z and the Nets...:lmao

I don't see what everyone's bitching about. It's been said already that the Magic didnt want the crap Brooklyn was offering them, so there was no possibility of a Dwight trade. The next best thing was to go out and get a Joe Johnson type player, even with his horrible contract. He's an updrade over the crap they gave up like Morrow and Farmar. Brooklyn with Deron, Joe Johnson, Wallace, Lopez, Kidd, and Brooks isnt so bad. They can easily be a 6, 7, 8 seed in the shitty East.

Broussard just reported that Dallas and LA are on Dwights list with Dallas in the lead. As for how Dallas gets Howard, who the fuck knows. We have no assets
DPG21920
07-02-2012, 06:08 PM
Yup, Cuban screwed the pooch by giving away all of his assets. The funny thing is I am sure Tyson, even if paid well, would have been a nice piece in a trade to bring back assets. They have no valuable picks, no young players in real demand and they don't even have expiring contracts to trade really.
They have cap space and Dwight isn't a FA. ORL has to trade Dwight. So unless there is a 3rd or 4th team (and even if there is) Dallas appears to be screwed (at least with regards to pulling Dwight which was the master plan).
Broussard just reported that Dallas and LA are on Dwights list with Dallas in the lead. As for how Dallas gets Howard, who the fuck knows. We have no assets
Conveniently another team that has max cap room in 2013 to scare teams off and kill Orlando's leverage. Dwight and Orlando are trying to out-fuck eachother :lol

haha I even am smart to know that, Magic didn't want what Brooklyn had. So Brooklyn moved one had too. And didn't give up any major things to get Joe Johnson, only thing that sucks is how much he is making

Mel, when taking a snap shot look at the Dwight scenarios, does it make sense for ATL to try and trade v keeping Horford/Smith? I mean, if you can pair those 3 :wow and there doesn't seem to be a good shot of Dwight being traded to a team that he wants to sign with (LA seems to be the only team that fits that criteria).
They can pay Smith 15M per year and still easily offer Dwight Max.

That is a shitty combination. I know smith and Dwight are close. But no way 3 of them work out together. if you could pair up Dwight and Horford/Smith you trade the other for the best shooting SF you can find.
You pair up those 3 ... 5 players (3 defenders) are in the paint at ALL times. Dwight, the opposing center, Horford and his man and Smith's man daring him to shoot open 3's ...You cant just throw teams together ...you know better than that DPG.
A line-up of Batum, Horford and Dwight now THAT would be someting or maybe Granger or Gay if he is still on the blocks.

If you trade for Howard, you have him. Waiting for next summer opens up more possibilities for him to choose.
Either way, Atlanta just became a much more interesting franchise. Right now, Ferry has Horford, Smith and a pile of cap space projected for next summer. Much better situation than they were in yesterday.

Whenever the subject of Dwight Howard returning home someday to play for the Hawks was raised, Dwight (softly) shot down the idea. Since leaving the ATL outta high school, he's never lived there in the off-season, never warmed to the idea of returning. For any reason.

A decent trade from the Nets perspective..Johnson's contract situation is notoriously bad, but he's a good player that will benefit from playing with another shot-creator in Williams, a luxury he didn't have in Atlanta..
New Jersey should be the 4th or 5th best team in the East, following this move..they traded away a pick and reluctantly ingested a historically bad contract, in exchange for avoiding another uneventful season..
Great trade from Atlanta's front office..finally shed Johnson's contract, thus making them a contender for Howard..
