You know what... I was riding for dwight but I think you are right... asking to be traded to the Nets is pretty dumb... unless you are a Net fan![]()
I talked with Dwight he knows I want to play with him and I'm sure he will stay with the Nets-Deron
That trade is terrible.
This might be the worst trade of all time.
they're stupid as fuck they coulld have got Bynum and Odom or Gasol/Odom proven champions Brook Lopez![]()

I think Dwight Howard prefers Nets over Lakers because he wants to be the man. He wants help, but still wants to be face of the franchise.

In New Jersey, Dwight Howard would be the man over Deron Williams. In Los Angeles, he would be playing second fiddle to Kobe Bryant.
WHAT I SAY ABOUT DEC 9
DEADLINE MUTHAFUCKA

the Lakers better count their blessings that the league rejected that trade..they would've been fucked with a depleted front court..
But as for Dwight wanting to come to Brooklyn....
NEW YORK WILL FINALLY HAVE A REAL TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
..damn faggots took 2 Ls in one night![]()
Shit is hitting the fan on day #1....lol
Love it!
the Nets are gonna be a low seeded team for a few years...even if they get Howard. So depending on who's in the draft this deal might be decent.
Besides my Bulls, Clippers, etc., there arent many elite or borderline elite teams that have good, young players to trade. Teams like the Knicks and Heat put all their chips in 2-3 players, now they have to sign damn near retired players and other washed up overrated bums in order to fill out their roster.
Anyways....imo a D Rose and Howard combo is better than a D Williams and Howard combo. But that aint gonna happen.
Out of the Laker, shitHeat and shitKnicks I think the Lakers will be able to cheat and pull off another BS trade a la that Gasol trade...hence improving their team. Teams like the shitHeat and shitKnicks will have to pick from the leftovers.
Anyways.......my Bulls wil be the #1 seed ............again.
Our goal should be to add pieces that wil get us past Miami.
All the rest of the teams out East are ass and are no concern to me.
........Even if blockbuster trades are made.
Damn I just logged in...I gotta see what fell thru w/ the Paul deal...damn Kobe must feel like ass...Laker fans too...hell ya

People don't understand basketball let me break down why the Nets deal is better. I been saying this for two weeks let me say it again.
the nets are offering two to three picks. A young player Brook Lopez who will actually want to be Orlando. In three years he has never missed a game. (Bynum can't say the same thing.)
Here is the most important thing. The one that ORLANDO OWNERS CARE ABOUT.
WE CAN SAVE THEM 47 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO OTHER TEAM CAN OFFER THAT!!! THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT MONEY!!!!!!
orlando is fucked cap wise and we can rescue them.
Stern blocked the fuck out that trade!![]()
I will go a head and tell you the nets also getting

Wait. Niggas think Brook Lopez is a bum? That nigga is better than old knees Bynum and you getting two 1st round picks? Magic better hop on that fucking deal. And plus Brook Lopez don't want to be some goofy ass comedian either.

i think he's going to the lakers... lakers will take jameer and turk send back bynum, odom, gasol multiple firsts ... the league just fucked over the lakers, they gonna help them out... plus its a better deal talent wise, lets not forget the magic are considering being up for sale too.
if u read gilberts letter the owners will be involved in trades now...they don't want anymore easy kwame brown gasol deals... essentially lopez and just 2 firsts for howard and turk is a kwame brown deal. nj won't wont even be over the cap so the small market teams won't benefit...
also reading more into the paul deal, stern rejected it b/c he doesn't want players to dictate where they go...dwight demanding the nets falls under the same reasons he rejected the paul trade. only way thias happens is if the nets allow themselves to be gutted and take back more salary. that fits the conditions set by the paul rejection.
i'm not saying this as a knicks fan but as someone who just read all this shit involving paul. if the lakers offer better talent he's going to the lakers nets will have to sweeten their offer nd be gutted to satisfy the small market owners. if the lakers let themselves be gutted the small market owners will approve. remember the nba rejected paul alsio b/c howard was coming to lakers.
its a new era for superstar trades. chris paul rejection shows that.

We offered Chandler in a sign & trade![]()
No one will object our trade homie one reason
let me repeat this again
WE GIVE ORLANDO SOMETHING NO TEAM CAN.
THIS ISN'T ODOM for CP3 and the Hornets end up with a sucky team.
WE WILL ACTUALLY SAVE ORLANDO. THEY WILL HAVE CAP SPACE, PICKS and a young player who hasn't missed a game in three years.
OH YEA WE SAVE THEM 47 FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS.
THEY BLOCK THE TRADE OH WELL GUESS WHAT WE AIN'T SIGNING NO ONE WE WILL GET HIM IN THE SUMMER. THAT FORCES ORLANDO TO DEAL WITH US OR LOSE HIM FOR NOTHING. AGAIN I TOLD YA DEC 9.
DEADLINE HIT ON MIDNIGHT AND DWIGHT SPOKE UP

The thing is... The trade was nixed from perspective of an owner... David Stern nixed the deal as an owner... NOT as the commissioner... If the Hornets had an owner and that owner would have made that deal... it would have went through. But since they don't... It's a WRAP.
I hear u but stern didn't reject the deal to help the hornets he rejected it for nba reasons which is ambiguous as fuck but then it came out why
1. no players dictate where they go.
2. has to benefit the league financially and on the court
3. can't be close to a kwame deal
i personally have no beef with the deal but brook lopez doesn't make orlando competitive ... bynum, gasol, odom do...
the nets financially won't help the small market teams b/c they'll be below the threshold and not in the fund that gilbert alluded too.
lastly howard is the best center in the nba multiple all-star, trade him for lopez who regressed last season and 2 low 1sts?
saving 47mil is big but ultimately orlando may prefer to be competitive with assets than with free money... plus if the lakers take turk orland still saves money b/c odom is a free agent at the end of the season.
if the nba is gonna apply those basketball reasons to trades for stars now dwight to nj wouldn't pass.
sure y'all can sign him at the end of the season but if he's sent to the lakers he won't be leaving.
again the deal should go thru but if u apply the whys of the paul rejection then the howard deal won't go thru.
