Killa i was wrong you were right
Dwight spoke up finally.....
Why not go to new jersey for a year. Opt out . get big money.
I thought orlando would wait to close to all-star break.
KIllA called it i thought u was just a crazy NETS fan...good call bro!!
That trade is terrible.
this. only way he'd leave my team is free agency. Fuck da bullshit...
Fuck it then.
Let's see who wins in the long run.
CP3 stays in NO, and leaves next year. NO gets jack shit in return...
Or they trade him now, and at least get something (players, first round picks) for him.

dude, stern has veto power for anything he wants. every commish does. i'm saying stern can veto anything and not explain it. "nba reasons" doesn't say shit... but he used it.
plus owners who spoke to stern said he killed it b/c "he does not want to set the standard where player UNDER contract can dictate where they get traded too"
what did dwight just do?
demand the nets aka dictate where he will go while under contract to the magic
if dwight was a FA it don't matter but stern is not cool with players dictating where they go in trades while under contract.
remember the owners wanted to include a melo clause in the new cba to stop player dictation they didn't get it so now stern will enforce it using his commish powers.
yall high?stop it creed you not making sense again.
You said that Dwight would rather go to clippers than nets.
Stern killed the deal because the lakers gave up no picks and saved 40 million dollars.
in this deal Orlando has the advantage and what you failed to understand. the same owners who pressure stern to do this would not fight this deal because
1 it makes sense
2 orlando gets out great in this
3 saves money
most important it shows that a team like the Nets. The so called clippers of the East were able to lure to free agents to their team.
not the lakers not boston not the knicks the nets. a team in two years that has won 36 games has a superstar saying I want to go there instead of the Lakers.
stop it creed you fighting this too hard

Man a lot of you brothas don't get it: The Brooklyn Nets are in the best position to not only grab Howard, but also pair him with either CP3 or Deron.
I'm a die hard Knicks fan, but we have to call it for what it is: The Russian is in the best position of all teams.
That standing offer of Lopez and 1sts for D12 and a bad contract is major. If the Nets make that trade then here is where it gets interesting. Could the Nets then pull off another power trade with the Mavericks and Hornets where Deron ends up in Dallas, CP3 in Brooklyn, and all of Dallas' young prospects, picks, end up in New Orleans.
If the league nixed the CP3 trade to the Lakers from a basketball perspective, would they do it again if they got back picks and young talent? The Nets would be strapped and gutted, so would the Mavericks. But every party would be happy. That would force the leagues hand and prove that its about fairness not jealousy.
I'm starting to think that CP3 will end up a Net somehow..
I think they can do alot better than this crap they are being offered for Dwight....
u first smart knick fan
Surprised Jerry hasn't made moves with y'all.... Actually I'm not. That dude is cheap as hell.
"Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Chris Duhon to New Jersey for Brook Lopez, Jordan Farmar, New Jersey’s 2012 first-round pick and Golden State’s 2012 first-round pick. This is a strong offer that basically puts the Nets a step ahead of every team except one in the Howard sweepstakes — they can provide a good young center and give the Magic $25 million in cap relief.
'DwightHoward Dwight Howard
@MAGIC_FAN4EVA would y’all leave me alone about that. Dang. Am I on another team no. And if u hate me becuz another jersey u never loved me
I thought Jersey was the best move since last year
Hope it doesn't go down for obvious reasons though![]()
daldridgetnt David Aldridge
Magic contemplating filing tampering charges against two teams for illegal contact w/ Dwight Howard. Story up soon on NBA.com.
Howard wants to be a cartoon.
He doesnt want to be the best basketball player.
Ya'll should be happy he aint going to your team.
I'm getting word that Dwight is at the Magic camp confused as hell. Saying he didn't say any of this. Also, word is he fired his agent for pulling this bullshit.
drama... interesting.

I do find it weird how these events took place tho... Because in Orlando we got word Dwight had a long meeting with Otis Smith yesterday and said he'll give Orlando a chance this season to rebuild. Then the CP3 deal falls through and he request a trade to the Nets. Then in Orlando, I get word Howard is at camp confused and wants to fire his agent.
now I'm confused.

On another note, if Howard goes to the Nets the Mavericks are royally fucked!!! That would kill two birds w/ one stone. They'd lose out on Deron and Dwight on top of probably losing Chandler as well.
Nah, I think they'd keep Deron. Don't really see why they'd trade for Paul. He's not much of an upgrade over Deron and honestly might be a slight downgrade in a lot of people's eyes considering many think he's better than Paul.

LOL@ people making up all these reasons..
Can we please kill the "Stern did it as commish not owner of the Hornets"...The owners "outrage" wouldn't have meant shit if the league didn't own the team. They have a say in the matter. He gave the "NBA" reasons as the official statement but it's clear that the real thing is the owners were not going to let a league owned team, serve up another dynasty. If "owner outrage" REALLY meant something........ The Lakers Gasol trade would have NEVER happened. League owners were furious when the Lakers got Pau. Stern could have cancelled that trade...but he didn't.....
And far as the Lakers being able to give cap relief because Odom is free agent...that's at the END of the year, the Nets relief is IMMEDIATE which means alot to a team who is rebuilding and will suffer financially because of it. Money you can save today is more appealing than money you can save tommorow.

Exactly
But Cuban is waiting for these imaginary players that will be there in 2012

Per the Twitter-verse, Howard may have met with Prohky and Billy King yesterday in Miami. That is tampering and if it is true, the Nets are done. Stern will come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Butler is gone
He has agreed to sign with the Clippers
