If all we had was to trade with the Nets and what kind of returned then i would of included Marshon Brooks, but why would Orlando not be interested in this guy since he is under rookie contract, YOUNG, talented on the wing behind Reddick...

Now I hear that Marshon Brooks will not be part of the trade because Orlando is not interested in him but will be content with Brook Lopez??!!?!?!?

(This tells you that the magic did not want marshon brooks)


This isn't on you, but please, someone tell me how the Magic can send Dwight, Turk, and J-rich (or even Dwight and J-Rich) out in this trade? Where is the 40 mil coming back from? 19.5 for Dwight, 6 for J-Rich, 11 for Turk? And all for Lopez worth 7.5 mil in a trade?

Ok, so when WOJO says "traction" does he mean Nets are having a hard time finding a spot for hump???

yeah, the people sending emails to hennigan--assuming that's even his email address--like it'll actually change anything need to get a grip.

i'm hoping the nets trade doesn't happen, but i'm not going to pretend like there's anything i can do to stop it.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA

MarShon Brooks, just show up to the gym tomorrow at 11 a.m. and we'll let you know which jersey to put on.


Lol, he'll look good next to Charlie Westbrook!

Nets are finding traction beyond third-team involvement of Cleveland to find a landing spot for Kris Humphries, league sources tell Y!


There's still hope. Hopefully some team with cap space decides to troll and offer Humphries a contract.


Does this mean, NETS can't find a team to take kRIS???


The way I understand it, it means the Nets are finding other suitors for Hump. It says traction beyond Cleveland, so teams other than Cleveland are showing interest.

Nets president Billy King will be in Vegas to sign Deron Williams at the first moment he's allowed--9:01 p.m. Vegas time Monday, 12:01 EDT.

Does anyone know if MarShon Brooks is coming to Orlando in the deal? I really hope it's not just Brook Lopez alone.

K... So I just went through 98 pages in thread 33 where it's reported that we are getting Lopez because Bynum doesn't want be here and all I could think of is the report that Lopez didn't want to be here either and the only one to mention this was a Nets fan??? Are we all just in denial here or is it me?


This is crazy weird how much of anathema this franchise has seem to become...

I seriously hope something comes out of left field and we trade him to the Clippers or something.

How in the entire hell would we make a trade with them and not at the absolute very least get back YOUNG, CHEAP & VERY TALENTED pieces like SG Marshon Brooks and PG Tyshawn Taylor thrown into the deal?

Maybe Henny is just trying to scare Magic fans, so we will be happy with any trade except with the Nets... if so, it's working haha.

It could mean that they're having difficult moving Humphries to another team or it could also mean that there are other teams that are interested in offering Humphries a contract.

Peter Vecsey‏@PeterVecsey1

Contrary to some reports, Nets do not have deal in place for DH. Much maneuvering on tap, I'm informed. First 10 scenarios unacceptable.

Yes, so true, because in reality, the Nets only have enough contracts to take back Dwight and Dwight alone.

Well nevermind, I guess it's being discussed in this thread. Scratch my previous post.
