The Nets emerged as the number one choice for Dwight Howard, according to multiple sources.

Howard is expected to ask the Magic to trade him to New Jersey.

The Nets are offering Brook Lopez and two first round picks to Orlando for Howard.

Despite their pursuit of Howard, the Nets are also actively engaged in talks with Nene in case they are unsuccessful.

Howard can become a free agent next summer.
