Hennigan isn't sure where Brook Lopez stands right now, said they don't know what to believe.

Trading for jj's contract is as bad giving it to him. Lmao.

I could care less. IF we didn't get JJ we would have no Deron no JJ and STILL no Howard.

You think this money means anything to us? Our owner is a multi-billionaire. This is chump change to him. He makes this much in a day.

Same goes for you guys when you inevitably give Bynum and his 5 surgically repaired knees $100 million.

Besides, trading for JJ made sure we kept Deron, that was the end game here

It's probably done with the Nets but not the Lakers, who are probably swooping in as we speak

Magic just screwed up.

Dwight's move is easy now.

1) Play out the final year of his contract, then go UFA and leave and Magic get squat or assist him in a sign and trade to BRKLYN.

2) Continue to proclaim he will not extend with any team other than BRKLYN. No team will give up significant assets for a rental.

Magic really should have done the Nets deal already and moved on. It made them look better to other players by granting Howard's wish and they get the best deal they are gonna get.

Wrong. All reports are Rockets are willing to give up a ton for an uncommitted Howard. ATL is probably pretty interested in it as well.

Prok's money doesn't matter when by NBA RULES AND REGULATIONS Billy King will only be allowed to offer mini-MLEs and vet mins to players to fill out the roster and improve his team in the future. :lol:
