oh yeah.

My bad, I should have more faith in Williams, Wallace and JJ. My apologies. I hope the 4 playoff games each year will be worth the tax.

"Hennigan also said he spoke with Dwight today and added "there's a chance, yeah" that Howard could return to ORL. Unbelievable."

Brian K. Schmitz ‏@MagicInsider

Magic GM Rob Henningan basically just confirmed that Magic are done dealing with Nets in Dwight deal

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555

Though he didn't rule out restarting talks with Nets, ‪#Magic‬ GM Rob Hennigan said "there's probably not a lot there." Orl looks elsewhere.

You're laughing because?

LA are in a same situation cap wise

Not really...Kobe/Gasol come off the cap in 2 years along with everyone else on the team outside of an extended Bynum.

If you really believe that we don't get past the 1st round then you are just straight hating.

In fact how about a sig bet? The Nets get past the 1st round in the playoffs? You seem pretty confident about it

Why in God's name did Dwight sign the extension with Orlando??

He could be a Net right now, right?

When do teams EVER hold press conferences to update the media on trades

The press conference was to announce the Ryan Anderson-Gustavo Ayon deal.

2 years is a long time. Most likely if Kobe can still play, he'll be offered another big money contract

'Getting nothing in return is still better than Lopez on a max deal and 3 late 1st round picks.

+1000, Talk about bitter Net fan's enjoy your middle of the road team now =)

I hope Hennigans friends in OKC and SA aren't telling to keep Dwight away from the Lakers...

At the end of the day the opt in was Dwight's undoing.

He could have gone exactly where he wanted. Even if they did threaten him.
It was Dwight's fault alone. And for that I don't blame Billy King for anything.
