And source confirms that the deal would be contingent on Magic docs signing off on Brook Lopez's foot and Nets' docs on Howard's back.

Wow!!! The breaking story of the century. Berger is just dishing out crap to up his followers.

The level of protection on the pick is a negotiating point. Other teams -- Charlotte, Utah, Minnesota -- may have more valuable extra picks.

The important thing is, we will trade D12 just to clear all the mess Otis made by signing Q, Jrich and Duhon... and we are still paying Arenas.

No.
A lot of analysts are calling this one of the worst trades in NBA history if it went down as reported.

I agree, we already have our frontcourt for the future with Lopez and Nicholson.

Look at it this way - Henny will have cleared every crappy contract in one year - JRich, Q, and Duhon via this trade, Hedo next year via an early buy out. Next year the roster is Lopez, Nelson, BBD and a bunch of rookies, first and second year players. If we manage a high pick and sign an impact FA, in two years we could be back in the playoffs and building toward something bigger.

Sounds better when I say it this way. (as opposed to the feeling of a massive screwing and extreme frustration over Dwight getting exactly what he wanted).

I didn't put much stock into these rumors but it looks like this garbage is actually going to happen. I wish I wasn't born a Magic fan.

All of us could agree that not seeing Duhon's face in our bench would make us smile. At least Hedo brings good memories.
