But I think he doesn't want to be in Rose's shadow. Derrick is the poster boy for the NBA right now, if Dwight goes there, he'd be the definitive number 2.


nah, they'd be a duo, the same way LBJ and Wade are, or Kobe and Shaq were.

remember, Dwight is the leading Allstar vote getter. he's more popular than we give him credit for.


Yeah, they probably would be......

I have no idea why he wouldn't want to go there, though. If I was in his position (and had determined that I wanted to leave), that's where I would want.

Nah, he can't.

And I agree with the poster that said he's probably just trying to get back at us with that "hopes to land on whatever team trades for Dwight" comment.

I'm sure the Lakers and/or Heat would at least take a look at him.

Gilbert Arenas expected to attract some interest from the Nets. D-Will recently asked about him and expressed interest, source says.

Bensational wrote:who are the big teams with cap space next summer? New York is out of the hunt.

NJ - will need to amnesty Outlaw, but can sign Nene and still get to about $16M under.
DAL - will be able to get under enough to sign a max guy. will lose a lot of their depth in the process though.
BOS - will have Rondo and Pierce and room for stars. i don't consider them a threat though, their window has closed.
LAC - will have a great core of Jordan/Griffin/Butler/Gordon to add someone to.
IND - will probs still have enough for a max, and Granger/West/George/Collison at the core.

thankfully the Lakers and Knicks won't be in the running.

does anyone else look at that list and think 'if we can clear enough room for Deron/Paul we can be an equally attractive option as them'???

Fwiw, Washington will have max money next summer as well.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Nets possibly signing Arenas has nothing to do with Dwight, Dwight has lots of friends on lots of teams

Wake me up when the Nets have something to offer for Dwight that isn't laughable :lol:
