So what exactly would we get in return? Lopez, Brooks, and a slew of 1st rounders from Brooklyn?

Nets gave away their 1st rounders to ATL for Joe Johnson. I assume it would be a slew of 2nd rounders.

the Nets gave away the pick Houston owed them to Atlanta, that is it.

I'm tired of this thought process that's being pushed my the media that we HAVE to get something for Dwight.

NO WE DON'T! We can retain him for the season, bench his ungrateful ass, let him walk and put up a "good effort", procure decent draft picks from a lackluster season, and rebuild slowly.

I'd rather do that than placate a quasi-unintelligible narcissistic ass-hat by sending him to his preferred destination.

Kidd averaged 6.2/4.1/5.5 in 28mpg (36% FG) last season and he is an upgrade over Nelson?

Maybe we can hope MarShon did what T-Mac did? T-Mac was mediocre when he played for Toronto, just as MarShon was in his rookie season. Then T-Mac exploded when he came to Orlando. Maybe MarShon can do the same thing?

Can't lie Orlando is in a pretty **** situation. Trade him to LA and possibly set up a few title runs or trade him to Nets and set up a potential Dynasty. I'd keep Howard if I were Orlando

If they trade him to the Nets I'm done for real.

I'd trade him to the Lakers for Bynum in a heartbeat.

ANYTHING BUT LOPEZ

Way too optimistic, but I appreciate the effort.

You know what's messed up? We could have gotten a lottery pick with this package if we had traded him last year. I'm in shock right now.

I know this isn't a great situation for the team and the fans, I'm really starting to get annoyed when reading that people are calling Hennigan a bad GM cause of some silly reports ..

Let Hennigan do his damn job. More than half of these "reports" are just reporters trying to be in the spotlights. If Hennigan actually trades him for Lopez&Humphries (which I'm 99,9% sure he's not), it's ok to start the "fire Hennigan" bandwagon & get your pitchforks ready.

But for now, people PLEASE calm the FCK down.

I'd seriously consider rescinding my fanhood if we dealt D12 to the Nets.

That's looking really good right now

That is what I have been saying all along. Screw this sh*t deal.

No man Mar$waG is the 2nd coming of Kobe Bryant, who's the second coming of Michael "Air" Jordan. DUDE WE GETTING JORDAN. THIS SUCKS.

I was saying "IF". But just in case it happens, I have my tar and feathers at the ready.

I'll still be a Magic fan if we traded Dwight to Brooklyn.

[BUT I WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER BROOKLYN NETS FAN!!!!!! WOOOOHOOO!!!!

Darth Magic · Post #459 » by **Darth Magic** » Thu Jul 5, 2012 9:18 pm

I don't understand how you do this deal. He can't **** go there!!! Send his ass out west. If they want to make a trade with Brooklyn at the deadline then let them. This is ridiculous.

send them Duhon, Jrich, and Hedo so we can at least save some money. This sucks. Lopez is a stiff. Can't play defense or rebound. Bynum would have me much more hopeful about the future of the Magic.
