We will really miss SVG if we get Lopez. SVG would have gottenthe best out of him and would have pushed him to rebound the ball. I would feel better about this possible trade if SVG was still here

I am not happy about it either, but you cannot get nothing for Dwight. And if Lopez is in Orlando, that means no one else put together a serious offer.

I would rather get nothing if the alternative is getting crushed by Dwight/Deron/JJ/Wallace during Lopez's best years in a Magic uniform.

Orlando will get crushed by the Nets if they trade Dwight to LA, or Houston, or Dallas. Orlando will also get crushed by just about everyone but the Bobcats. So get over it.

For the people that are saying Lopez wants to play for the Magic, he has been saying for the last couple years he wants to remain in NJ and now Brooklyn. This article was just 4 days ago.

Hennigan knows what he is doing. He knows how to evaluate talent. If Orlando does do the deal with NJ for Lopez, it means no one else was willing to rent Dwight. And all these "sources" were wrong!

Team are willing to rent DH, but the problem Rob faces is...are those teams willing to take back our bad deals..cuz right now NETS are willing to do it all...which hurts us.

I'm cheering for him if he signs an extension (yeah, I know, it won't happen)

Just because some hack reporter on twitter says Houston and whoever are still in the bidding, does not actually mean they are. No one actually knows what is going on, what info is real, what is a smoke screen, what is intentionally leaked, etc.....Trust me, if Hennigan liked Lopez, Dwight would have already been traded to Brooklyn!

well I would play in Utah if it meant that I could be in NBA..these kids are spoiled..NBA is a privilege, not a right. You think MJ would say no to Portland if they drafted him at No. 1 that year?

The difference is Orlando would get crushed by the Nets for much, much longer if Dwight teams up with those guys. We'd be responsible for creating another Miami in the East.

Nets center Brook Lopez loves Disney World. But he does not want to play in Orlando.

“He really wants to see it through with the Nets and go to Brooklyn,” Chris Lopez, the center’s brother and advisor, told The Post yesterday. “We’re back in California and he understands the situation, but he wants to remain consistent: He wants to be a Brooklyn Net. He hasn’t played anywhere else and he likes the organization. He wants to be a part of it now that they’re going to be good.”

Im not going to post anymore here. But I just hope Orlando doesnt give into Howard after all he has put the organization thru. U would get a center that doesnt even want to be there.

Kevin Love tells Y! Sports he's tired of losing & Wolves need to make playoffs or make changes that could include him.

This is the NBA today. Disgusting.

Roll the Dice if the Nets are the only option. I don't care if he walks. We can use the capspace.

Don't trade Lopez. He WILL be there next year. If Dwight wants to leave, we can always get Lopez next year pretty close to the same deal, because we know the Nets don't have cap space to sign him outright...

I don't have a problem with a player wanting to leave a losing situation, especially a number 2-3 option. I have problems with the number 1 option with a good quality team always trying to jump ship and teamup and play buddy ball..

I blame it on USA basketball... wade, bosh, lebron, dwight, deron and now it begins with love and the newest additions to the team. They get an opportunity to dominate and have fun together in the olympics/practice and then want it to become a reality in the nba, too.
