The Atlanta Hawks will have a lot of money to spend next summer. This deal allows them to pursue Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

In Before "Sources say Dwight Howard wants one last championship run in Orlando & explore options in 2013"

Alex reading my posts I see...

Nets were baffled that Orlando GM Rob Henningan wasn't interested in dealing DH. Talks went absolutely nowhere.

"@MikePradaSBN: "You guys don't want Brook Lopez?" RT @ChrisMannixSI: Nets were baffled that Orlando GM Rob Henningan wasn't interested in dealing DH."

Oh boy, it seems like Henny hung up as soon as he knew it was Billy King.

How are they "baffled" at him not wanting to trade one of the best players in the game?

Unless Dwight signs the extension, I want him gone no matter what.

It really comes down to the nets not having anything worth trading for. If they had great, young talent (like a can't miss, up and coming allstar) Dwight would be a Net.

What Hennigan did when Nets Faxed the proposed offer sheet before they called.

I'm really curious to see what Dwight does now. Does he extend with Orlando ? Expand his list of teams he want to be traded to ?

The second option is much more likely than the first.
