I think they might end up with Lin. But if not I could see a S&T happening, but it'd be to help get Howard here.

I also read a few days ago that Dallas is interested in Sessions.

Just going up online: Mavs on verge of signing All-Star center Chris Kaman. Deal should be finalized later Wednesday

Potential Howard to Dallas is now doubtful

Depends on the size of the deal and if it's multi-yeared.

Brook Lopez is still weighing a Charlotte offer sheet against the Nets 4-year max offer, with partial guarantees in 5th year, sources say.

Today just isn't Brooklyn's day.

If I was Lopez and I would go for offer sheet just to ensure that to not be traded this season no matter what.

But if he is confident that he would command good money when the 4 years deal is up because fifth year is tempting

But seriously I got no beef or any ill feeling towards the Nets franchise.
They trying to come up just like everyone else and you can't hate on that.

Just some of their fans on this board make them a targeted hated team like they are the Heat LOL

My guess is the Magic have several offers they're mulling over and want to hire a new coach and get some input from him prior to pulling the trigger.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Magic GM Rob Hennigan confirms (@JRudolphSports first) that the Magic have shelved trade talks w/Nets for Dwight Howard. Keeping himfor now.

Jason McLaed ‏@InsiderJayNBA
Reports confirming what my source said earlier, Magic would rather keep Dwight versus trading to Nets for their package.
