Dwight Howard prefers to join the Nets in the offseason

[AgentCreed]

This is what kills me.

Every outlet is saying that Dwight first choice is the Nets.

Deron is all about his money and what is the best situation.

Dwight wants the Nets. I don't see what you don't get about that creed. How does Deron end up in Dallas??

Wait how does Dwight??

NJ off the bat can offer 19 million.

So let me break it down like this not only does the team Dwight prefers can pay him the most but they can keep all their assets and remain young and loaded?

Deron who went overseas during the lockout to make 5 million can make the most with the Nets. Is going to say naw Dwight lets take less to sign with Dallas.

If that is the case why is Dwight demanding a trade to the Nets.

Why has Mark Cuban gone on record yesterday saying they have no chance of getting dwight in a trade and signing both players in free agency.

Dwight first choice is the nets. If he hits free agency he is going to be a net.

AC you are cool but you been kinda hoping against this and I can't blame you. If The Nets get Dwight Proky in three years acquires two top ten players. Plus if he does it in free agency????

Wow.

It's all good though.

As I said if you really feel this way lets bet.

J already rescinded his bet a week ago

Only way Dwight isn't a net if the Magic win a championship or he opts in his contract.



Yep sounds like he is leaving.

lets use common sense people.

dwight first choice is the nets.
the nets can give him more money than dallas
dwight wants a big market.

Dwight makes it to free agency he is going to be a net
Deron convinced Dwight to join the Nets. Not Dallas or allowed Dwight to convinced him to join orlando.

Use common sense.

Common sense, his choice is DERON. Not the Nets. Deron plays for the nets so by extension he chooses the Nets but he cannot come out and say that b/c that's tampering. Thats y they speaking vaguely, say "we'd love to play together" but don't specify where b/c they can't with breaking the rules. Same reason Stat and Melo couldn't say they wanna play in NY with each other b4 the trade... TAMPERING. It would imply the deal is fixed. Same reason the big 3 in miami made it seem like they met as Free Agents and decided to team up when they had it planned since team usa.

He picked the nets b/c he can't say Deron's name and the nets in the same breath without breaking the rules.

I'm not hoping against anything, the nets would still be an underachieving team that would have to hit on that draft pick and spend money wisely and add depth to their team. My knicks would still be a better team and the only team outside of the thunder that could go head to head with the heat offense vs offense and possibly win.

As for money, the kings coulda bought a shitload of players, no none wanted their money and they had young talent too... look at football, the bucs were loaded yet they had to make a kicker their highest paid player b/c no one wanted their money. Money matters but these guys r saying they wanna win too. If dallas offers 17mil and NJ offers 19... they'll choose dallas b/c they have a greater shot at a ring instead of hoping that pick pans out and brooks keep getting better and Lopez stays...

NJ had money with lebron too, came out of that meeting high 5'ing and what happened?

Why do you think they want to win?? The point has been made that Howard wants a big market over anything. Otis Smith even knows this. Deron will stay with the Nets if Howard goes there. Its simple...

 

[BLACKLOOP]

Hey killa if Deron moves to Dallas u think the nets still getting Dwight....lol. dwights first choice is not the Nets but clearly To play with Deron.....I hope Williams moves to Dallas so all these nets talk and Howard talk can die down

[bigdicdaddy]

Lol at some of these comments I see y'all hating on my nets - Dallas can't afford both these players without moving players - I guess y'all didn't see nets beat Dallas the other night without Dwight but y'all still shitting on the nets like we don't have shooters and roll players and a future draft and a new stadium and a owner that'll make mark Cuban look broke and last but not least its new York - if its fame a fortune Dwight and d.will want why the fuck they gonna go to the mavs when that's dirks team? Plus y'all ing noting the fact that Kidd , Richard Jefferson v carter all said they would consider coming to bk- Kidd said " where deron goes he follows"

Seriously okay if that is the case.

Why not convince Deron to demand a trade to Orlando or better yet why isn't Dallas the meeting ground?

Dwight demanded a trade to the Nets

This is silly to me players will do what's best for them.

I'm not worried but I have notice though it seems a certain group of fans are nervous about Dwight heading to the Nets and I get it and I know why.



Pray to whatever god you believe in that Dwight opts in or Orlando magic win a championship because if Dwight hits free agency he will be a Net and in Brooklyn.

Why do you think they want to win?? The point has been made that Howard wants a big market over anything. Otis Smith even knows this. Deron will stay with the Nets if Howard goes there. Its simple...

You can't tell some people anything I have bookmark quotes from duke saying Dwight will be gone right now.

That Dwight would want the Clippers Lakers and other teams over the Nets.

As Stephen A Smith it's months later and nothing has changed.

The Nets are a lottery team and Dwight still wants the team. Some people are fearing this move and if this happens in free agency it's a wrap

 

[killa kadafi191]

Well Daman you were right

”We’re certainly work ing toward not having a situation like we had with Shaq – a player walking away without any compensation to the team,” Martins said. “There are some advantages this time around that weren’t there before (when Shaq walked). This team can pay its own free agent more than anybody else with the additional year and the additional annual increases.”

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

any way Daman what is up with this right here????

 

[Winslow Wong]

Besides Killa I think very few people understand the enormity of opening the new Arena in Brooklyn and how big a star and personality that Dwight howard would be in Brooklyn

People keep writing that Dwight doesn't want to go to New Jersey and that is true Dwight wants to go to Brooklyn which if you just took it as a stand alone city is 3 times as big as Dallas and let's not talk about media market - Linsanity could have never happened in Dallas but it was world wide in New York

LA is the only other place Dwight could get that build up and neither LA team can really take him without decimating itself -

Nothing is guaranteed but the odds are that both Dwight and Deron will be in Brooklyn on opening night that will probably get world wide publicity with news media from around the world -

Can't wait

I think many finally realize what is about to happen. Hell even Magic writers who were dissing Brook Lopez back in December

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sp...than-brook-lopez-in-trade.html/comment-page-1

Better to take Lopez and other players/picks from the Nets than to let Howard walk free.

Andrew Bynum is the better player, but Bynum plays for the Lakers – and Howard isn’t keen on committing to L.A. No way the Lakers will deal Bynum on the chance that Howard might re-sign.

From all we can gather and despite other rumors, Howard still wants to plant himself with the Nets, who will move to Brooklyn in a new arena next season.

The Magic are in the same position they’ve always been since Howard delivered his trade manifesto: In a bind.

Lopez scored 38 points on Tuesday night against the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, playing in his second game back from a broken foot he sustained in the preseason.

He made 17-of-28 shots (28 shots!), but grabbed just six rebounds.

I don’t care if he is playing on a bad team and can get numbers…38-and-6 is terrific.

Lopez is a more efficient and effective offensive player and a better free-throw shooter than Howard. But he can’t compare with Howard’s athleticism as a defender or rebounder.

Last season, when Lopez was healthy he had 10 games of 30 or more points.

His career numbers: 17.5 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game, 1.7 blocks per game.

Wait Brian you were dissing Lopez back in december now he is one of the best center in the league.

Otis Smith is between a rock and hard place.

Your star player has made it known he wants to go to one place. One team is his top choice. That same team has cap space in the summer. That if he walks to them the team is even better.

[unknownsoldier]

If the Nets don’t make a major splash this season or during the offseason — a.k.a. sign Dwight Howard — Deron Williams has no intention of re-signing with the team. That should not be a surprise to Nets fans or ownership, but it still irritates them to hear that Deron spoke with some of the Mavericks players last season about joining them when he becomes a free agent. Despite that, Williams continued to get under their skin on Monday after the Nets practice in Dallas.

“I always like playing here,” Williams said when asked about playing in Dallas’ American Airlines Center, according to the Star-Ledger. “It’s probably my favorite (arena) to play in. I just enjoy playing here — I enjoy playing in front of my friends, family. It’s always good they get the chance to come and see me play.”

Williams was then asked if it was the actual arena he liked or just playing close to home. His response likely frustrated Nets fans even further.

“Home,” he said. “(And) I just like the arena. I think it’s a good shooting background. I just enjoy playing here. Fans — the fans are great. It’s always good when arenas have a lot of energy. Ours (the Prudential Center) doesn’t have too much energy.”

Considering the Nets have been horrible over the past few seasons, a less-than-energetic home arena should be expected. That’s precisely why New Jersey has been trying to woo Howard. Jay-Z and company are hoping a move to Brooklyn, retaining Deron, and signing Howard will be an effective way to start changing the culture for the Nets. With the way things sound, they may have to get Williams to fall out of love with Dallas before they do anything.

 

[killa kadafi191]

according to this blog today on the Dallas Morning News website, Deron Williams' brother, Kendall Jones, plans on attending prep school in New Jersey next year. One of the reasons, said Jones, a senior guard at The Colony high school, where Williams starred, is because Williams wants his brother to be close by.

"He wants me to be closer to him so he can help me and watch some of my games," Jones told reporter Brandon George.
But as the writer points out, it appears as though at the moment, the Williams family is planning as if Williams will re-sign with the Nets.

Should I quote Amy next??

Don't get me wrong if the Nets don't get Dwight Deron is going to dallas. The point is unless Dwight opts in his contract or the Magic win the championship that isn't happening.

If Mark Cuban said it wasn't likely they could add both Deron and Dwight that should be it right there.

Still I'm not one to kill any hope for someone.

To get Deron all you need is for these things to happen

Dwight to opt in his final year
the magic to win a championship
or
the magic to use their limited assets to acquire a superstar something they haven't been able to do for five years but now have two weeks.

All the Nets have to get Dwight and Deron on the same team is wait for the phone to ring and otis once again agrees to an offer like before or wait till free agency.

Personally I'm hoping for free agency.

A young pack team of Dwight Brook Deron Marshon Morrow and still have a MLE to sign someone like KG or Ray Allen. Oh and two first round picks

Come on Otis make one more stupid move

 

[AgentCreed]

Cats just ignore things, Dwight chose the nets because of deron. He cannot say that outright, that is tampering. He will be a net outright with deron if he is traded there, no question.

But allowing him and deron to be free agents decreases that, why? Deron will meet with the mavs and decide what is best for him especially if they clear space. All Dallas has to clear is three players with moveable contracts and amnesty Haywood. That is not hard. Hell several of those guys will be free agents anyway. Deron chooses Dallas, the nets r worse than pretty much any team in the league.

It would be a pr nightmare for Dwight to leave a winning team for the worst team while "saying" he wants to win especially when orl is winning and can offer him more money.

Maybe his need to be famous is so strong he does it then congrats nets fans but Dwight has a lot of fake hustle nowadays.

Also orl is trying to make moves to improve although the nets r trying to cockblock the golden state move for some reason(Lopez for Ellis , makes no sense with Williams and brooks there but that would be a move to stop orl from getting Ellis )

Until the trade is done and both r nets this season, nothing is guaranteed. Everything everyone says can change ad the nba over the last few years has shown, things do change.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

I agree by saying this, LA has the best chance to trade for him... but if he hits free agency? Dallas has the best chance with Dirk (if those 2 are serious about winning)

they are not

 

[unknownsoldier]

Thing is though, with the Nets moving to Brooklyn...this is a chance to set the ultimate legacy. People keep saying statues in ORL, but what do you think would happen if they turned the BK Nets into winners???

they are not

That's the thing...before it looked certain the Nets could pull it off, Killa didn't want it to happen because they weren't serious about winning...now he's on board

Creed

You know I have bookmarks of you saying no way Otis would trade Dwight to a fellow eastern conference team.

That the Clippers and Bulls would be the dark horse.

That Lopez injury would ruin his value

still 2 weeks away the Nets are still Dwight first choice and as Otis has admitted D12 and his agent has ruined his negotiations.

Ignoring things? Seems like you are the one ignoring things but I know why though.

Imagine if D12 comes in free agency how that would look.

Proky owns the nets for not even 5 years and when he opens up his new arena he has two top ten players in uniform.

Not only that he has a young stack team that from opening day is ready to compete.

Ignoring? Naw I'm saying what's known over and over

Dwight wants to be a net. Wants a big market. Deron wants the most cash he can get and to play with Dwight.

Why you think I'm not worried.

What I am worried about if Orlando is smart and trade him. How much assets do the Nets give up and where we go from there.

Also as everyone is saying Otis Smith has had nearly 8 years to get D12 another star you think he is going to do it in less than two weeks.

Did you not just see what Alex Martins said a hour ago. They want D12 to resign with them or they are moving him

he loses money in a resign. Not happening.

Creed you should be looking forward to rivalry don't be nervous

 

[AgentCreed]

I agree bk is alluring but take deron away and that team is trash, having money means nothing with a trashy team look at the kings and they have young talent more than the nets and damn near nobody wanted their money. And the nets have shown they will overpay scrubs rather than save money. They need to make this deal this year to remove all doubt. U can't go to bk with trash especially with the Knicks being this exciting.

I always said I was against it happening in a trade.

Yet you tell me there is a chance the Nets 2012-13 roster could look like this

Deron Williams
Marshon Brooks
who cares
Brook Lopez
Dwight Howard

bench
Anthony Morrow
Farmer (he will likely opt out)
Shawne Williams
A vet signed with the MLE
a high first round pick
the rockets pick
wait wait wait not to mention Golden State Pick

thanks Marcus Williams though pretty sure one of those picks will be traded to get rid of petro

HELL YEA I'M ON BOARD!!!!!!! I'M PRAYING MARCH 16 COMES AND DWIGHT IS STILL IN ORLANDO.

I said chi and clips months ago, since then cp3 is a clipper and Dwight doesn't want to be a bull.

U keep saying he chose the nets...he chose deron not the nets outright, Deron is a net if deron was on any team he woulda said that. If deron was a bobcat he woulda said the bobcats.

And I said if traded there both r staying but if not the nets will have to fight to keep deron. Dallas will clear space and don't ignore that deron has spoken on the idea of playing at home. Again he is saying the right things, he has too. Bing an nba athletes is about pr as well.

I'm not nervous, the Knicks are the better team and will be for a while, more depth and a solid starting 5 and the potential to win rings. The nets are trying to out knick the old Knicks. The new Knicks draft well, scout well and sign well and our front office isn't being bent over by any player. Lastly the Knicks have killers on their team who will take the last shot including the best clutch player in the nba, melo and possibly the best perimeter defender in the nba and he's just a rookie. Lastly without our stars the Knicks were the second hottest team in the nba with waiver pickups and an undrafted pg winning games. The Knicks are a team first.

The nets with Dwight and deron will still be a team of me first, attention whores... Deron is a me first player, Dwight wants to be famous and marshon is a scorer who hasn't developed any other part of his game. Kris humphries, me first, they sign josh smith, me first threes first. And ur head coach tends to piss players off sooner than later. Like they said on 1st take Dwight has mentally checked out that speaks on him a lot. He's an underachiever. So is deron. Collecting talent doesn't make a good team. I learned that for ten years being a Knicks fan during the dark ages.

I actually want the nets to get Dwight and deron so proky can talk more shit, he said a title in five years of him owning the team, next year is three years to do it.

I wouldn't go that far...Deron was a 12 & 6 guy @ Illinois that nearly led his team to a title in college. He's gone from underrated to where he should be & in Utah, Boozer was exposed in those playoff series more than him. Had the Jazz kept Matthews & Booz, this may not even be a discussion. I don't disagree on the "me-first", but again...they need to be surrounded by talent to blend in. Deron & Dwight has shown the ability to do such with talented teams.

U know what, I agree with that. I forgot about boozer. But he did get a hall of fame coach fired, that is a me first move. I do worry less bout him than Dwight, Dwight just quit in so many games this season and truthfully just wants a reason to stay in Orlando, hence the magic trying to get Ellis and Nash and the nets trying to block the Ellis move. But we will see, if the trade happens then both r bk bound if not its 50/50. That's my take on it.

One the Nets are not trying to block the Ellis deal. Again Creed get your information right first.

The Warriors owner their GM and even Jerry West assistant GM all admitted that it would take an all star for them to give up Ellis. Orlando doesn't have the assets.

The Nets blocking

Orlando has had the whole season to get D12 some help you think they are going to do in less than 2 weeks what they couldn't do in 7 1/2 years???

Also how are the nets blocking the trade? Brook Lopez? so the key piece to the D12 trade is being used to block a trade of ellis going to orlando?

stop it

Wrong again. D12 wants a big market. He admitted that himself.

Also again do you read what you type some times?

Deron is a me first player, Dwight wants to be famous

your words so if Deron is a me first player wouldn't that mean he would do what's in his best interest.

Where can he get the most money?
Where can he keep getting opportunity for endorsements?
Where can he make the most money while playing with Dwight?

So by your own words the Nets don't have nothing to worry about because Deron will do what's best for him. As long as D12 wants the Nets Deron isn't going no where.

And if the Nets current record hasn't changed D12 mind. Nets fans have nothing to worry about

 

[aerom07]

Alot of hate,denial and fear in this thread and its for a reason.

People dont understand. NY is the #1 media market in the world. Dwight wants to be a star and have his robin thats a PG.

He gets both things that he wants. The largest market that can make the most of his personality and he can rake in that acting, commercial, endorsement money. Also he has Prokhorov who people are forgetting wants to turn the nets into a GLOBAL brand. That is his mission. Also theres jay z..say no more with that. NY will love him and his personality. Its made for him.

Then on the basketball side he has his friend deron williams, a top pg who is pass first and can set him up lovely. When was the last time theres been a 1 and a 5 that have been the top at their position paired together? (magic & kareem?) Role players, in morrow, brooks, humphries, lopez who will look much better next to dwight. A chance to bring a title to basically a new franchise in NY! Billion dollar arena, new unis, logos etc. Its set up so lovely for him. Seriously if he comes to us in free agency its game over..i cant wait.

Dwight is set up lovely here.

BK or Big D. Only teams with a shot.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Lot of scared ppl- nets still gone be trash if d12 comes free agency ?- wow I heard it all - so nets are 7 games out the final playoff spot - all done without Lopez plus the mOst back to back games in the first half and riddled with injuries - so shadyville u counting the fact nets will have atleast 2 draft picks in one of the best draft classes in a while plus they have a mle plus they can trade brooks and or morrows not to mention Kidd and or rich Jefferson haven't ruled the nets out -- I can tell ppl that don't follow the nets - while everybody watching Knicks Miami okc - I'm watch nets shit I might even drop the $5500 for all access season tix

One thing I have learned is nothing in life is a guaranteed. Dwight has accomplished a lot for being in Orlando. Guess who was the leading all stars in votes this year Dwight and he was living in Orlando. Now the lockout hurt Orlando bad because he was away from the team, all star weekend helped alot because it shows how much the city is behind him. Time will tell soon.

 

[daman200]

Well Daman you were right




Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

any way Daman what is up with this right here????


Killa I just believe Martins is a better manager and businessman than the previous people orlando had. Martins got the new arena built.

I was listening to TNT last night and Chuck was saying the criticism of Otis smith is unfair. Otis actually did bring talent to Orlando..

For Example All stars Otis Got to Orlando:
Rashard Lewis
Vince Carter
Gilbert Arenas
Jameer Nelson
Jason Richardson
Ryan Anderson could be an all-star.

The franchise has also been in the playoffs for more than half of their existence (13 playoff appearances in 22 years). Orlando has been the most successful of the four expansion teams brought into the league in 1988 and 1989 in terms of winning percentage.


For a small market Orlando has been quite successful.

I believe the Alex martins will trade Dwight howard if he doesnt Opt-in before the deadline. I really believe that Dwight will be traded before March 15. The Nets are the front-runner. I actually hope its the Nets because they have the most to Offer. Lopez,picks,cash maybe brooks aint bad.

Orlando lost shaq they recovered.Orlando lost grant hill and t-mac and they recovered. Orlando is like magic they dont stay down for long.

I would rather tank and get anthony davis first pick.

Dwight howard great player but he needs lots of help. Best Center in the league with a fatal flaw.

Will New jersey win a title with Deron and Dwight?? I dont think so. But maybe new jersey can add some pieces. So we will see. The NBA wants Dwight in Brooklyn. Dwight wants Brooklyn. So we will see what happen. March 15. I just hope the Magic do a trade and dont be stupid and keep him.

 

[knightmelodic]

believe that if ya want. NOBODY wants to come to the nets. odds are williams is gone after the season anyway.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Can somebody tell me why these superstars on contenders want to go to worst teams? What silly shit does that make? Melo was on a contender in the WEST. He went to a worst team in the East. A team he WANTED to go to btw. Deron was a contender in the WEST. Went to a worse team in the East. Dwight is fighting to go to the bum ass Nets. Its stupid. The NBA is all fucked up. We need more niggas like Dirk and Durant than these divas. I wish they would make a league for the divas and let them play in it and fight over who does what. Shit even let them be GM and coach. But leave men in the NBA. Them dudes don't even belong in the WNBA. Make their own league. Call it the DNBA. Divas National Basketball Association.

Man these cats are trying to sell this dream of playing for Jay-Z/Russian and in Brooklyn. I refuse to believe cats are putting their future into the hands of hope.

Nigga is that what I said? Where did I mention LEbron in my fucking post? You niggas so ready to quick Bron that you imagine niggas shitting on him. I didn't mention Lebron once. I'll say my stance ONCE AGAIN for any niggas who lack the comprehension skills to keep up with my elementary stance.

Why...in....the....fuck......are you in a rush to leave a contender for a team that's one of the worst teams in the league? Because niggas have other reasons in mind. Dudes want to be celebrity's. They want to be diva's. Fuck that. Its their life of course but I can't respect it. You can dick ride it if you want but i'll continue to root for the Dirk's and KD's who don't give a fuck about being a celebrity in movies and tv shows and shit.
