Because they traded Odom for a trade exception, which is a slotted $ figure.

It wouldn't work.

Howard isn't going to be a Net.

Kobe is and always been a major ****ing dick. The worse thing LeBron has done was thrown a ****ing tv show to where he is signing. Kobe has fought with teammates, coaches, raped a bitch, and been a bitch his whole career.

Ya. They traded him to Dallas for a just a pick, which don't count as dollars, so they received a $9mil trade exception based on his salary for that year. Why couldn't the Nets flip Lopez for a pick(s), receive a trade exception for w/e his salary is next year, cant find a figure, then send a boat load of picks to Magic in a sign and trade next offseason?

They cant use it til after a certain date. Even if they still have it. They cant do shit to trade for Dwight til Jan i beleive. All contracts are guaranteed unless they have an option clause.

Nets moved on when the Orlando GM wanted to wait and see whats out there. Brooklyn said F It, im out.

Ya but wasn't their owner going back and forth on the Melo trade last year? In and out?

They have to wait 3 months, I think, to trade Lopez now. If Howards still in Orlando I wouldn't be surprised to see his mind change. Orlando needs to get something for Howard, something more than half assed picks and a blah player.

no GM/team is dumb enough to take Brook Lopez and a 60 million dollar contract.

That would be murdering a franchise, especially if it has no star players. That contract only fits on the Nets because the Nets also have 3 other good players on high contracts. Brook Lopez being a 60 million dollar centerpiece is putting a franchise in hell and is not a building block. Nets would be hard to shed that contract and make room for Dwight.

Unless Baby Dwight plans to play for a cheap contract on the Nets, there is no way his dream of being on Jay Z's team ever comes true. That Nets team is pretty much set and locked in for a couple years as is. Dwights just going to have to man up and pick another ****ing team, whether in a trade or as a FA. He's just being selfish and is too dumb to realize the impossible is the only scenario he wants, and he pissed it away by doing that stupid honor thing with the Magic in March.

I'm sure he has realizedthat he cant really go where he wanted too. I think he was scared to go to the lakers at first because of the pressure. LAKERS HAVE HAD SOME LEGENDARY centers and to have to follow that is tough. Then Shaw going from Orlando to LA and winning 3 chips. He has to do similar or its a failure.

Anyways its in his best interests to wait tip his contract is up and get that 5 year instead of that 3 year.

The NBA is the only sport where shitty guys get traded solely on the fact that their bloated max contract is expiring.

Baseball too.

Pending FA's get traded all the time at the deadline.

Because you have to find a team that has a 14 million dollar trade exception and no team that's under the cap has one of those.

A four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is "very close" to happening and could be agreed upon Friday, league sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.

In the proposed four-team deal, sources told Broussard that Howard and Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington would go to Los Angeles, Lakers forward Pau Gasol and Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo would go to the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Iguodala would go to Denver, and Lakers center Andrew Bynum would go to Philadelphia.

A league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne that the pieces in the potential trade are still very fluid and that Gasol has been in and out of the talks. The source, though, said the deal still is very close to happening and could go down Friday morning.

Earlier Thursday, Yahoo! Sports, citing sources, reported that talks of a four-team trade involving Howard have taken place this week and have "grown serious."

The proposed scenario also includes the Magic receiving draft picks and salary-cap relief, the sources told Yahoo!

Sources told Broussard that Philadelphia has not spoken to Bynum or his representatives and has no assurances he will sign a long-term extension with the club.

"The Sixers are willing to take a shot (without Bynum's commitment)," one source said.

Although Bynum signing an extension with the 76ers is not out of the question, according to a source, his stance all summer has been he only will sign an extension with the Lakers.

Bynum, who grew up about an hour away from Philadelphia in Plainsboro, N.J., could sign a three-year, $60 million extension this season or wait to become a free agent after the season and be eligible for a five-year, $102 million deal.

Near the end of July, Howard met with Magic general manager Rob Hennigan and reiterated he still wants to be traded, and if he isn't, will leave the team as a free agent after next season.

The Lakers' position on Howard has remained relatively unchanged for the past few months, league sources familiar with the situation have told ESPNLosAngeles.com. The Lakers always have been willing to trade for Howard without assurances he'd re-sign with them after the season, believing that once Howard experienced a championship culture, he would want to stay.
