Adidas reportedly offering Dwight Howard 400 million if he moves to Brooklyn

[killa kadafi191]

The Magic Insider Brian K. Schmitz is reporting this

If it's true Dwight's ($400 mill) shoe deal in Brooklyn is larger than DRose's, plus Russian billionaire promi$e$, can't blame D12 for move

He also reported that the Thunder laughed at a trade that revolved around Ibaka and Harden.

Magic have talked to OKC but Thunder balks at giving up Ibaka and Harden to rent Dwight

Derrick Rose received a huge new contract from Adidas but I seriously doubt it will be 400 million.

If anything I think it will be similar to Lebron when he re did his deal with Nike. 90 mil went to Bron another 90 mil to marketing

So if anything I see at best 200 million to D12 and another 200 mil to marketing

Nice

By the time you pay New York State and City taxes it comes out to about whet others get with big shoe contracts.

That would be enough to send me to BK.

Think as Kerber pointed out all the endorsements he is expected to get it won't be a big deal for him

No they don't... Wing men and gaurds sell shoes. However, Dwights personality is a bit different.

 

[Ballhandler]

Wait people bought the Barkley and Webber shoes.

Side note, if he goes to NJ he won't win shit.

Who gives a fuck: As long as Dwight makes his $$$

Adidas will give a fuck forsho.....

He is already endorsed by them. You think they did not factor that in before making such an offer?

Depends on how he come.

I think this is exactly what D12 is thinking

don't think so but this is Adidas most marketable guy.

 

[Mt Airy Groove]

More than Rose???

I think this a situation similar to Rose. Rose contract was about to expire. They knew Nike was ready to sign him and throw money at him plus Rose has the china market too. Adidas offers an extreme contract

Now if D12 goes to a major market you have to expect Adidas will offer a higher contract than Rose

 

[killa kadafi191]

More than Rose???

well yea. Remember Derrick Rose isn't comfortable with the lime light. He doesn't talk in his ads or commercials while Rose went on a trip to China with Adidas. Adidas sent D12 on a world tour this summer

Dwight will command more than Rose.

He is outgoing, while Rose is boring as fuck. Adidas will use that to their advantage.

I just got done reading Shaq's book. He is one sharp dude using every advantage he had to market himself, and his brand.

All NBA players need to read that book for inspiration and guidance on business moves.

That cheerleader he knocked up is surely going to try to get her cut

I think this is what D12 wants to do is build a brand

Is this fuckin possible?

 

[BCSD2012]

Barkley is about 6'5"

 

[MadWun]

That cheerleader he knocked up is surely going to try to get her cut

What cut? He pays child support already

His kid will be taken care of. Do you know their personal affairs?

You have some issues with sistas that's clear.

Peyton manning built a large successful brand in bum fuck indiana. Dwight doesn't have to leave Orlando to build a brand. Like Peyton his brand become stronger if he stays with one team. Also Orlando isn't indiana it's the most visited city in us over 50 million people a year. Orlando is one of the few mid size city in the us that is known globally because of Disney. Peyton manning should be the blueprint for smaller market guys. New arena, much less taxes,and much better weather. Grass ain't always greener.

Ur right u know what will teach dwight a lesson orlando doesn't trade him and keep him after the deadline. That will teach dwight a lesson he would never forget

i see you over there homie

 

[killa kadafi191]

i see you over there homie

Exactly. People think D12 actually cares about losing money if he walks away?? Look at how many deals dwill pulled since being a net. Imagine when dwight gets there. This has never been about winning.

This has been about $$$$$$$ once people get that it will make sense

 

[daman200]

Ur right u know what will teach dwight a lesson orlando doesn't trade him and keep him after the deadline. That will teach dwight a lesson he would never forget

U are hoping orlando keeps him, Im hoping orlando trade hims to jersey gets brook top 5 pick and marshon brooks.

Killa funny man.....Hey 400 million dwight should take it no questions asked right...

who cares about a lesson get money.

im just pointing how did peyton manning get all that endorsement money in a small town in indiana?????????

 

[H.A.N]

Turns up Jay-z Brooklyn go hard with Santogold on the hook.


Stay in Orlando seriously.

 

[Les W]

Ur right u know what will teach dwight a lesson orlando doesn't trade him and keep him after the deadline. That will teach dwight a lesson he would never forget

well judging on what the thunder said he is untradeable... we all saw this coming too ..

 

[daman200]

well judging on what the thunder said he is untradeable... we all saw this coming too ..

That's Orlando fault should've traded him earlier better deals where available earlier.

Unless the magic know something we dont.....they would be stupid to not trade dude by march 15..

hopefully as we get closer to the trade deadline the market will heat and SOMEONE WILL OVERPAY FOR DWIGHT....i think that what otis and alex are counting on.

Peyton built it cuz he won a ring. That is why Dwight always preached that winning shit in Orlando. But truly, he doesn't care about a championship. He would take the Brand over a ring any day. He wants the quick fix.


Do you guys see the demeanor in this dude? He isn't that serious on the court. I don't know why people always come in and say "Man he won't win in NJ". The funny thing is... I bet he'll play harder in Brooklyn than in Orlando.

I see your point also I seriously doubt this because as yahoo sports said

Howard hamstrung any attempts, though, by issuing that list of teams he'd like to be sent to. Even last year, with Carmelo Anthony's stated preference for New York all but in place, squads were still lining up to attempt three and four-team deals to bring the scorer in. This time around, teams aren't willing to take that chance, not when the Nets have cleared up cap space for the big man this summer. And because Isiah Thomas isn't playing puppetmaster with Billy King's team in New Jersey, they won't jump the gun and send assets out for a player they could sign outright (to a cheaper deal) in the offseason. The Nets are smartly waiting this one out.

well judging on what the thunder said he is untradeable... we all saw this coming too ..

What is this "we" talk? I and Sjo2 something have been the only ones saying this. Everyone else has been saying Dallas, Clippers, Lakers, Bulls and every other team than the Nets. I said back in December this would happen.

No team is going to give up valuable assets to rent a player so he can walk to his first choice come July. Everyone saying the Nets are going to lose Deron or Dwight wasn't coming. Was not using common sense. It's cool because if it goes down next week or in July I'm going "Beatdown" on BGOL



just a preview

Won't be them bum ass Nets....how they say in Jersey??? FUAGETDABOUTIT!!!

Killa!!
you really believe that howard will be leaving the magic to start over with the Brooklyn nets and deron
lets be real, he wants to win now, not start "Northeast Orlando part 2 in 6 years from now"

and a lot of teams have pieces that orlando would want, but if they give them up, they will be starting from scratch.
It will be the rape of that team similarly to the raping of the knicks by the chicken nuggets.

this is from a year ago.

That's Orlando fault should've traded him earlier better deals where available earlier.

Unless the magic know something we dont.....they would be stupid to not trade dude by march 15..

Didn't I tell you this would happen?

 

[daman200]

They don't understand

So in brooklyn dwight going to hit 90 percent from the free throw line and develop more than one post move.

I understand he will get better endorsements in brooklyn.

but to claim that he will transform into a better player.naw son

like jay-z said you was who was before you got here cuz.
