Nets have emerged as No. 1 choice for Dwight Howard, multiple sources say. D12 is expected to ask Magic to trade him to NJ.

Nets still pursuing Nene in case deal for Howard falls through. NJ offering Brook Lopez & 2 1st rnd picks, as @ESPNSteinLine wrote last wk

Not sure how reliable Broussard is, but I thought I'd just get the ball rolling. Just hope D12 stays in the East.

I would seriously consider trading Kevin Love for Dwight Howard str8 up

^ I wouldn't. Dwight isn't going to stay here.

I would really like if we got in on a 3 team deal with someone where we send cheap players for an older player who isn't on a rookie deal(Bynum!!).

Dwight might stay if we brought in his friend Chris Paul.

It's possible....but we'd have to basically gut our team. Cp3-Dwight with maybe Beasley left over...?

I'm assuming they don't want to just be on a team w/ stars, they want to be on a team of stars in select destinations, o/w OKC would be popping up in rumors.

i'll post this here too since it's so funny

The root of Orlando's potential tampering charge against Houston, source says, is alleged meeting w/ coach Kevin McHale & Dwight Howard.

McHale strikes again!

I wonder if because of NJ tampering charges a New Jersey deal for Howard would get vetoed too? If not, I'd expect serious penalties that only our Joe Smith scandal could mirror.

My twitter feed says the Magic aren't going to pursue tampering claims against the Rockets.

I don't believe the Rockets really had a chance at Howard.

I bet ORL would have a hard time making a tampering case if the meeting occured before the new CBA was ratified, so unless McHale was dumb enough to be standing in line behind Prokhorov Thursday night, he may be OK.

Now saying sources incorrect and no meeting occurred. Saw that one coming.

Are you referring to McHale/Howard or Prokhorov/Howard?
