Atlanta just traded for a pg and has teague. Will need to find another destination.
Don;'t see Greewe and Mr. West beating their chest now. If it were about money they would have pulled out completely. It's not about money with this owner.

G.Hill agrees to 5 year deal with Pacers
NBA - Pacers, starting PG George Hill agree to five-year deal, his agent tells Indianapolis Star
Amount of money not known.
there was a reason for the FA thread being made
Now that Russian billionaire don't give a damn about the Lux tax lol.There is still a chance that Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard could become a member of the Brooklyn Nets, according to league sources.
The Nets and the Orlando Magic are discussing a trade that would send Howard to the Nets for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and the Nets' first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017, sources said. Lopez and Humphries, who are both free agents, would go to Orlando in sign-and-trade deals.
The move would be the Nets' second blockbuster trade this week and would give them a big three of Howard, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson that could rival the NBA champion Miami Heat's heralded trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

I'm surprised the media is trying to move Chris Paul from L.A. so fast. It started yesterday with the Hawks trades. ESPN's front page is going hard.
Touché. I deserve that. This crow I'm eating tastes terrible.
Still don't think this deal happens (still a bad deal for the Magic), but it's clear Prok is willing to pay.

My reaction to the Dwight Howard possible trade is meh. That team isn't winning anything.
Contributor
yeah so the mods can merge all the other threads, duh
Seriously? Deron | JJ | Wallace | *whoever* | Howard isn't going to win anything? I think if anything, that has a chance to compete with Miami. Miami Big 3 is still better, but that possible Nets Big 3 fit better.
Contributor
so a team of at least howard dwill and gwall cant win anything? that team has practically unlimited resources, they could sign another impact role player and easily be a top team in the east.
Contributor
Or maybe they could just start deleting them when they're not put into this thread.
Not sure I agree. Let's say it all comes together, they would have DWill, Howard, Joe Johnson, and Wallace...that is a very solid foundation to build upon. I could easily see them giving Miami all they could handle in the East.
the Legend has spoken!

Orlando is the one that has to want to dance and sounds like right now they don't see a trade from the Nets that will benefit their team.Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
So far, this is true: Orlando hasn't seen an offer from any team that it believes is enough to seriously consider trading Howard now.

There isn't great enthusiasm within Magic that the Nets have the ability to make the most appealing offer for Dwight Howard, sources tell Y!

For Nets-Magic to progress on a Dwight Howard deal, a 3rd team needed to take Kris Humphries in a sign-and-trade, league source tells Y!

maybe, but not likely. i think its not a good idea to have one mega thread about free agents anyway. people want to talk about/respond to certain players on how much they received, etc. having to go to pages 2-4 to read about this person and 10-11 to see about that person is worse than giving each player they own thread when they sign. why do you think threads like these get so out of hand and off topic after a while? just saying, back to reality.
A team of Dwill and Dwight Howard without the other two would have a good chance. With Wallace and Johnson being paid what they are and not improving, how does Brooklyn acquire anything else? You're in the luxury tax with just those guys, right? I see this team as a slightly-less-doomed version of NYK. We'll see if it goes down, but my on the record is that group doesn't win a Eastern Conference or NBA Title.
Contributor
But didn't you hear? They're owner is so doggone rich. He laughs at the luxury tax.
Contributor
Depends, they'd likely have to sign Net fans to fill the remaining 8 spots on the roster.
Yeah. Nets offers are just crap. Maybe they should start by finding a taker for Brook Lopez and Humphries first.
Contributor
it couldnt be worse than whay miami had to do, also wallace only took 10 mil a year, thats no where close to the max. players would take peanuts to play there.
I think what the Heat have shown is that you can win with just 4 or 5 guys and then fill it up with vet min or min contract players.
I'm not rooting for the Nets or anything, I just want this Dwightmare to end. And the only way it does is if he goes to the Nets.

Does the Magic take this?ESPNChrisPalmer chris palmer

supposedly they were also throwing in 3 1st rounders in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Free agent Antawn Jamison, an ex-North Carolina star, will visit the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday
If they can get those players plus the 2013, 2015, & 2017 1 round draft picks then Orlando has no choice but to take this deal and run. They won't get a better offer.
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
