So this guarantees Dwight can't go to Brooklyn this year and if he goes next year the roster will be bogged down by JJ's contract.


Eat it Dwight, go take a sex ed class and come to LA already.

He can't go next year unless he takes a $5 mil per year deal. Not even joking (assuming Deron stays).

Since Orlando doesn't want anything the Nets have, it's over. He can't go to Brooklyn without Orlando changing their mind.

 

[The Frankman]

Great job, Billy

 

[darkside31337]

who is poised to have a ton of cap space after next season?

Orlando.

Detroit, again.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
The Nets wouldn't have been so aggressive in pursuing Johnson, of course, without blessing from Williams. Nets remain confident he'll stay.

bwahahahaha

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I meant the real LA, not JV.

 

[Byakuya769]

If Dwight couldn't handle SVG antics, imagine his reaction after Kobe throws him under the bus due to a bad game.

 

[jobber]

I'll take lottery chances than first/second round exist every year.

Welcome back to the bottom feeders club!

You can't trade Tim Duncan twice in the same deal.

he's a free agent right now..

Fire sale? Fool, this frees them from Salary Cap AND Luxury Tax Hell.

It also frees them of selling out a game once a month

 

[jordan0386]

...hmmm

Wait. The Nets had a plan all along!?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

You think Jordan and Bledsoe can beat our pick three forwards plus Lowry and Martins expiring?

I assumed JJ + no possiblity of Dwight means Deron leaves.

So Nets will be JJ+Dwight or he signs elsewhere, which would be the much wiser choice.

 

[BobLoblaw]

I can't believe that someone intentionally picked up that JJ contract. Worse move in the last 5 years? 10 years?

 

[LyleLanley]

So when does Dwight get traded to the Celtics for Bass, Jeff Green and some picks?

 

[Bowser]

[AirBrian]

I just saw Cuban and Dirk didn't even make the DWill pitch...

They've already talked with him over the last two days. Dirk is in Europe and Cuban is in LA shooting for a show.

Try in the history of the league.

I dare somebody to find a bigger nightmare trade scenario than this.

Jr?

Great White Hype... late 90's movie.

Dude, they don't sell NOW. What makes you think this will hurt attendance?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

The Magic traded for Gunbert, and the Celtics traded Perkins for a pack of Kools, so no.

 

[StickSoldier]

lmfao



bwahahahaha

So Dwill would rather play with Joe Johnson than Dirk? Lol, pretty funny if true.

He'd rather play with JJ and have an extra $25 million in his bank account, yes.

 

[Branduil]

The Mavs.

 

[Black Mamba]

I assumed JJ + no possiblity of Dwight means Deron leaves.

JJ + Wallace = $30 mil next year. That's leaves $31 mil to play with after Brooks. Subtract cap holds for roster spots, really $26 million. Subtract $15 starting for Dwight and you're at $11 million to spend on players beyond right now. Lopez, Humprhries, etc. It would be quite difficult, I think, to pull even that off.

I really think Dwight to Broolyn is dead now. for good.

 

[The Frankman]

They'll still sell out when the big market teams come to town.

NEVAR FORGET

He's trolling or clueless.

Nets, of course, would've preferred to get Dwight, but Magic refused to engage in trade talks. Source: 'They didn't want to dance with us.'

Hennigan is awesome

 

[darkside31337]

Magic deal wasn't THAT bad. Rashard was already finished and their contracts were pretty similar trainwrecks.

why are all those knicks fans at a women's softball game. And why are you watching it?

 

[commish]

WTF, just heard the news re: Joe Johnson. Is this life? Here I am, all excited because a pro team is going to be playing in my neighborhood, and they trade a first round pick for Wallace, and now trade for Joe Johnson's ridiculous contract. How is this possible? How?

How?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

JJ to brooklyn.
come to la, dwight.
you fuck and you'll like it here too.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

How good would a Dwill/JJ combo be though?

 

[Talon]

Somewhere Jay-Z is shaking his head.

 

[thekad]

If they lose Deron and Dwight, then the past few months of Billy King go in the Hall of Fame of terrible front office decisions. If this helps keep Deron, then it's just your normal poor NBA GM decision.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Hennigan is awesome

Basically a "get fucked" to Dwight, pretty awesome.

Hawks espn blog: http://www.hoopinionblog.com/2012/07/great-trade-whod-we-get.html

Let's hear it for Danny Ferry, who performed a miracle. And let's hear it for Billy King, who saw the post-prime years of (presently) an above average score and passer who doesn't rebound, whose defense can best be described as "won't kill you if you put him on the other team's second-most dangerous wing" and thought to himself, "That's worth $90 million and a first-round draft pick."

Hey danny ferry,

 

[Branduil]

How good would a Dwill/JJ combo be though?

Joe Johnson isn't good.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

How good would a Dwill/JJ combo be though?

40 wins, maybe?

It would be "$37 Million US Dollars" good.

Bleh

moar like:

"The Nets could go 0 for 82 and I'd look at you like this shit gravy"

Makes more and more sense.

 

[The Frankman]

why are all those knicks fans at a women's softball game. And why are you watching it?

The game was held in Atlanta. No one attended so Spike and the gang filled up the stadium to make it appear like Atlanta could actually draw fans for their sports instead of wasting all that money for their stadiums.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

SEE YA

Jesus Christ.

 

[BobLoblaw]

The Magic traded for Gunbert, and the Celtics traded Perkins for a pack of Kools, so no.

Both abominable, but JJ is still owed $90 million over the next four seasons. He's a goddamn cap killer after the last CBA and someone intentionally picked him up knowing that.

 

[thekad]

Bleh

Did he just show up in the gym while no one was there?

 

[Talon]

Oh shit. All we have on the books next year are Teague and Horford...and a player option for Marvin.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

lol

Tommy Dee: Teams keep improving while the #knicks stand pat... that's the honest truth and it's not funny.

lol

Jeff Wade: Final thought about JJ with or without DWill - still in mix for D12 if Deron leaves so there's that thinking

if we dont get dwight or deron, imma choke a bitch, and by bitch i mean lovingsteam

Bill Ingram: So now the Warriors and Nets have each moved on without Dwight Howard . . .countdown to Houston?

get your dirty paws off my dwight, houston.
