Sources: Magic, Nets and Cavaliers near completion of Dwight Howard trade. Deal will include 11 players, cash and multiple draft picks. Magic will complete one last sweep before completing the trade, sources say. They want to make sure they’re accepting best offer.

Orlando is still weighing options. Magic brass will meet tomorrow morning to decide if this is best deal. A trade could be completed Monday.

Well to be honest, Bynum, Howard, and Lopez all have injury issues respectively.

Bynum seems to be injured all the time, back injuries are hard to get over, and ankle injuries on big men.. yeah.

You are rolling the dice on any of these guys.

Damnit! Drew just take the extension!

I can't believe after all of this that it could honestly be Bynum that holds this all back because of a damn extension that he should be signing (going to Cleveland, wtf?). Bynum is playing this slyly, I'll say that. We want Howard, damn it!

I can understand why the Magic would be hesitant but there is zero doubt in my mind that when that extension is placed in front of Drew he will sign it, even if he waits he'll resign for the big bucks after the season and not leave money on the table to go sign somewhere else.

Bwah ha ha Hennigen is a joke if he's giving Brook Lopez max dollars. This makes the Asik deal look okay. I also don't get how there are 11 players in this deal. NJ can't take anyone back besides Dwight.

Dwight
Lopez
Humphries
Brooks

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Something is seriously odd about the whole thing. I'm over Howard and all his fucking drama, but Orlando is so stupid to pass up what Morey has to offer.

Honestly, yeah. I didn't think Hennigan would do this. Wonder if the Owners are involved.

And its Bynum, that won't sign an extension? Mr. "They got banks everywhere?" bullshit. He'd give up money (tax free money) to go sign else where? That doesn't make any sense. And fuck, one season of Bynum is better than fucking 4 years of paying Lopez.

I'm gonna cognitive dissonance this bitch

There's no way we're trading for the worst possible shit sandwich out of all the shit sandwiches out there, for crying out loud Otis was blocked by ownership or trying to trade Dwight for Crash + Lopez + 4 1st rounders...this current package is worse than the blocked one.

What is Houston's current offer?
Click to expand...

As far as I know everything is on the table to trade... future picks, all their young talent, contracts that will expire etc

No one has come out and actually said what the Rockets are offering, but Morey and Les want him badly.

I sadly think its true.

I pray that Kris Humphries refuses to take a shitty 1 year deal with the Cavs and literally blows the entire trade up.

if anything, Bynum not wanting to sign the extension right away might be an advantage to Orlando. let him play another trial year. See if he can stay healthy again. See if he can be an all-star again. Then if he is, you can give him a max deal and more money than anyone else.

I don't get why Kris doesn't get more attention. He's not a bad player, and considering the other players getting deals, he should be signed for bigger money.

Knicks fans didn't even bandwagon when we went to two Finals in a row. Brooklyn might be different but it's not like Deron and Broadway Joe have star power. Dwight would be the draw but I doubt it'd be any bigger than his 60 win teams in Orlando.

Knicks got more heat from Linsanity than teaming up Stat/Melo/Chandler, casuals gonna casual.

Edit: Humphries took a 1 year deal last year to stay on the Nets (who were Cavs-bad) because no one else was going to give him $10 million/yr. Why wouldn't he take the same money from Cleveland? It's not like he has to worry about Kim leaving him now.

The Magic are on the verge of making arguably the worst trade in NBA history imo.

The one positive from the deal for the Magic is that they would be easily the worst team in the NBA other than Charlotte so they get to go for the top pick for the next few years.

Otis is somewhere going "Goddamn. . . "

If Houston is offering up everything, Hennigan is a complete moron if he takes the Nets deal. He better pray the ownership is the one pushing this, or he'll be considered even worse than Otis.

How's that, now I'm not mature either. Happy?

I'm done having this argument. You feel free to reply to me all night if that makes you feel like you won something.

It doesnt even have to be max. 3 years 20 million or some shit like that would blow it up.

Whats the most the Knicks can offer for Humphries? He'd be a big addition for their team and would absolutely dick over the Nets too.

There has to be a number of teams that can offer something better than a maxed out Brook Lopez, even for a one year rental?!? Shit I'd offer him to the Knicks for Shumpert and Tyson Chandler and that might be a better deal.

So I guess picks in the 20s and another random pick from Cleveland and Brook freaking Lopez is more valuable than Bynum.

Uhhh no. If Cleveland wanted Humphries they could have signed him outright. Orlando or the nets will have to give the cavs picks and cash to get them to take him.

Jason Thompson will be back and Kings can look at other options

Jason Thompson will return to the Kings after an agreement was reached on a multi-year deal Sunday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed and Kings basketball president was limited in what he could say because of NBA rules during the moratorium on signing free agents that ends Wednesday.

But having Thompson's deal completed frees Petrie to look at other areas. Petrie said trades and other free agents are possibilities.
Click to expand...
The Kings will have about $6 million left under the salary cap with rookie Thomas Robinson and Thompson's deal when it becomes official. The Kings will have 13 players, two below the league maximum

That gives the Kings options of re-signing Terrence Williams, who presumably would not cost $6 million, and save money for a possible addition later.

Williams is still available and not on the verge of agreeing to a contract with another team.

Jason Thompson's new deal will average about $6 mill per season

That's about what he's worth until he develops a more consistence offensive game.

Yeah that's why I'm utterly confused as to how this is even possible. If they give the Cavs picks doesn't that take away a pick from going to Orlando. Unless Cleveland is willing to give more picks?!

It's really really strange how everything has focused on Brooklyn when the Hawks could easily offer Horford (which is better than the Nets offer) and probably convince him to stay without any problem since none of Dwight's wishlist would have capspace other than Dallas and Dallas just has an aging Dirk.
