if Orlando is so keen on dumping a bad contract they should just reconfigure a three team deal with the Lakers instead of doing it with the Nets.

Who would compensate the 3rd team for taking on our contracts, since the lakers have no picks?

Don't get me wrong, I would break that promise, but it's the only reason why I could even see us considering the Nets offer

No offense, but this theory doesn't really make a lot of sense. Why wouldn't Orlando just trade him to the team his choice, then?

Trade for Bynum is something like franchise savior move if you think about that garbage package from the nets

Just got this from Twitter. This guy is on 1080 a lot, and he isn't known for spewing a lot of BS.

Spoke w/ source who tells me Nets deal WON'T happen. Teams lining up w/ offers featuring cap relief/picks, which Hennigan wanted all along.

Cleveland in:
Bynum

LA in:
Howard
bad contract

Orlando in:
Tristan Thompson
Zeller
Walton
Cavs 2013 1st
Cavs 2013 1st (from LAL)
LA 2014 1st
LA 2016 1st
LA 2018 1st

Zellar is a scrub, Tristan hasnt done anything and LA isnt giving up all those picks

Now or during last season? If you are talking about last season then: because the organization and Dwight wanted to see if things would work out. or if you're talking about now then: they don't feel like Dwight or his people gave an honest effortso the magic want to go back on their word.

Mother of god that deal ESPN is reporting is GOD AWFUL! We trade Dwight Howard/others for Brook Lopez, a bag of chips, and picks?! :oops:

ThatFloridaDude · Post #396 » by **ThatFloridaDude** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:18 am

Justin Harper beefed up yo. I really hope we keep him. I'm telling people this guy can play man. He just needs the chance.

I also give credit to Rob. He is interviewing coaches in this whole entire crazy process. Respect.

LMAO you can see Alex Martin face at the back of Henny while looking to the text message.
Epic Fail for the Nets.

For all you cry babies, This trade isn't as simple as "The BEST center for Brook Lopez?!"....

It's not that clear cut, Dwight WILL BE A FREE AGENT, and can leave any team for whoever has money (Dallas,ATL or anyone who creates space)... You never get top dollar in these situations, why would the entire league gut out their team for a rental?!

Be happy with whatever Rob gets us, he has a plan. Unlike that buffon Otis.
