so dwight will be the 4th most popular player in the city for the next couple years behind Lin,Melo, Amare and Chandler.
great move dwight
I think he's going to Brooklyn too (if he hits FA i think it's all but done - im not a Dallas believer) but with every Knick rumor that Isola brings up you know my thoughts on him, he has no connections, he's a product of his newspaper having no one else. Case in point: He said Melo is going to the Nets 100%. Knicks (in his words) had nothing to offer Denver would even be remotely interested in.
D12 to Brooklyn. Sure.
Isola has inside info. :lol My personal source (D12 posting here) gives me better info than Isola.
and don't tell me im hating, bring up the Smith thread where Isola was being quoted and i said exactly the same thing, that he's a douchey toad.

to summarize...
im really thinking D12 is goign to NJ, i think they don't trade him actually and you acquire him in FA, or they wait long and you do a 2 way (not a 3 way) trade where they give you a lot of contracts. :cheers: THe Laker mess makes me iffy on them.
And Isola is a douche.
You're ok. :cheers: YOu going to Knicks/Nets game in April? I'm going, cheapest way to see my Knicks.

Im gonna try, I need to go to a game before the the Brooklyn move. Would love to see Howard live. Depends on what day, April is fun month for me so why not.

i got to go, my knick tickets for the year are done and its too $$ to buy anymore. That game is goign to be a Knick home game practically, in chinatown they are selling tours to it. I'm thinking those won't be Net fans.

Deron on the other hand looked happy as hell yesterday and looked like he was into the Net's beating the Knicks in orderly fashion.
Deron vs Lin could be a nice NY Rivalry for years to come.

Listening to DWIll last night i wondered if he realizes that people are aware he doesn't try this hard nearly enough. He needs to play at this pace for the remainder of the year. The net fans, like you who live and die with this deserve good Deron more often. And i don't mean performance, just his emotional investment. THAT last night looked like Deron. Mean, Angry, like everyone who tried to stop him was insulting his mom. He's like that i'd say 50% of the time this year.
It was one of those games that you went WOW even though it was pissing me off massively.
One criticism though - BRooks is too much of an afterthought. He needs to be used more, like he was late in the game.

It's probably the best outcome for entertainment's sake. Do we really need to see him with the Lakers? The Lakers need to move Gasol, get some pieces back and build around Kobe and Bynum. That right there is already a highlight team for the league. They don't need Dwight.

Howard fan, Nets home team fan. Im from Jersey and I heavily followed Howard as a player while sulking after the Kidd era. So the fact that my favorite player wants to play for us is a match made in heaven if all fall's through.
At the end of the day, Otis Smith is going to concede defeat and work out a package with the Nets. Best case scenario is they get Lopez, Brooks, and picks.

Makes sense. Brook Lopez + Marshon Brooks + 2012 1st round pick is a decent package. This also ensures Howard doesnt miss out the 30m or whatever

Unprofessional clown.
Also: Give us Al Ianazzone back.
Why give up anything when you can get him for free? The Nets aren't James Dolan.
Because if the Magic are willing to trade him to NJ they'll trade him period, and if NJ plays hardball their offer sucks (it's not an offer with a ton of good pieces, you can't remove some) and then they'll send him to LA, who will still have Gasol, and LA will win two rounds all of a sudden, Dwight will get movie offers, have some A-Lister blowing him, and have to decide in the offseason to give all that up plus $30M because he's tight with Deron. And because if D12 leaves and Deron goes to Dallas then NJ is ****ed and Billy King literally may be shot and killed by his owner.
NJ's leverage is shit if D12 has a ten second thought he might like another place. Why make that even the smallest possibility.
I can't believe you are still hurt over the Anthony trade, if we kept all those guys, we'd not have Lin, not have Chandler, had to resign them all to big money deals to keep them. Who is gone that was worth skipping the trade for?

There is very few options. There are Dallas, NY, LAC. I think those are teams that if Howard went there, he'd staty. However, none of them are realistic trading partners. So that's out.
Then there's LA - they are a mess right now, They have to figure out how to get Howard ONLY giving up Bynum and anything else not named Gasol. Difficult, especially with their leverage so low.
Then tehre is the Nets, whose GM would tear off and eat his left testicle to get Howard. And Howard wants to go there.
If Orlando wants to trade Howard, there's not very many place that are realistic.

Dwight said himself if he can play with anyone in the league it would be Kobe. So its not like the Lakers have no chance. I just can't see Dwight going to NJ with main focus being to win now. Nets have bad management & right now they don't have the talent to win in championships in a stacked East. I can see Dwight going to Boston, Dallas, or the Lakers.

I have heard that if he comes as a FA, he'd be losing 30m or something?
If Dwight's 1st preference is winning and he doesnt care about money, his 1st option will be Celtics and Mavs second. Unfortunately Celtics doesn't have good enough pieces to get sign and trade done with the Magic. So I am assuming a trade will happen with either the Nets or Lakers.

Eh, The group the Nets can have if Howard comes by Free Agency is great. You can trade Lopez for a guy like Iggy
Deron-Brooks-Iggy-Hump-Howard with Morrow, MKG, Stevenson off the bench is as good as a line-up then what other's can offer.

Not sure if you could judge a fanbase based on what jerseys they wear. Iverson was popular pretty much everywhere.

The Nets should really just take it slow and build up to a championship team. I don't think it would be smart to keep throw away all your young players to get guys that probably can't even win. This upcoming draft is pretty good if you guys can get some talent and then develop & build a fan base around them the Nets could be the OKC of the East. Howard & Dwill couldn't win a championship & you guys would have no trade pieces or cap space to build around them.

LOL what? The Nets are one of the worst teams and thats WITH Deron Williams. You do realize that without bringing in Howard, it pretty much guarantees Deron's exit as well right? No GM in their right mind would take that approach.
If I'm the Magic I don't even bother trading Howard if all I'm getting back is Lopez + some picks (maybe if Brooks and/or Humphries is included but still not sure). I'd rather just finish the year out giving it one last shot at a title. There roster is definitely worse then the 09 team that made it to the Finals, but they still are ridiculous from 3 points, so I don't think its that crazy to think that its possible they could go on a ridiculous hot streak during the playoffs and get there again (definitely lesser chance, but not totally out of the question).
They get one last shot at a title and then have some leverage in the offseason by telling Howard that he's going to miss an extra $30 million if he doesn't resign or at least agree to sign-and-trade with another team that could give them a better package like the Gasol/Bynum from the Lakers, Amare/Chandler from the Knicks, etc.

If it happens, get ready to give up all your young pieces including MarShon Brooks and take back bad salary like Hedo Turkoglu. You pretty much have no choice. No Dwight = No Deron Williams after 2012.
It's going to suck. In a ideal world for the Nets would be tanking for a high draft pick and finding a way to get Dwight for less in the summer.
March 15th is going to be very interesting.

Well in an ideal world we can get him for nothing, the world is not perfect though so Id expect a lot less than that. Still, Id say we may as well keep either Brooks or the draft pick. Giving up both and taking in Hedo's contract is not a better move than the Knicks did. Well even the Knicks could still amnesty Billups to sign a new player for max...

So Orlando is going to trade Howard and not even ask for Marshon Brooks? Who exactly are they getting?
Well...This is pure speculation, but if this is true and as the deadline approaches, the Nets gain more leverage. Knowing that they WILL lose Dwight for NOTHING once the off-season hits, Orlando will become desperate to get a trade down. Other teams know that their trades will just be .5 season rentals so they're gonna get shot down. So the only two teams that remains is the Gasol offering or Brook + Humphries. HOPEFULLY, King recognizes this and takes MarShon off the table and force them into a trade that's more like the ones we saw before we realized MarShon is a hell of a player..so like Brook, Humphries, Morrow or Farmar, and a few draft picks.
But Billy's negotiation skills have been sorely lacking so I hope he exhibits prudence and calmness.

I have this gut feeling Otis Smith feels he has a legit shot of signing Dwight in the off-season no matter what Dwight says and will eventually get 0 in return.
