My face when Atlanta trades for Howard now

[dickay]

I think Joe is gonna flourish with Deron and the Nets would instantly have a chance to win a ring. If the Celtics break up, the Nets and Bulls become the only teams capable of beating the Heat out east.

agreed...except for of course the Nets still have to sign Deron and deal for Howard. I think with JoeW they have a much better chance of resigning Deron but it's unlikely they'll be able to trade for Howard after dealing all these pieces for Howard.

ATL trades Marvin Williams for Devin Harris. Holy ****, they made two great trades in two days.

Dear Utah Jazz,

What's the gameplay here boys?

Sincerely,

Connor


Yeah, Nets can't afford all 3 players though. Joe still has 89 million left on his deal. Deron will be a max contract. Can't afford Dwight.

Dwight will be forced to expand his list seeing as how New Jersey went a different direction. If Dallas loses on Williams I could see them gauging interest.

Maybe Atlanta could be a destination too. He's from there so maybe he'll sign with them. Although I don't know what they would trade. I don't think Teague and two 1st round picks are gonna do it.

Nets have offered Lopez, Humphries, Brooks, and 3 first round picks for Dwight.

Rockets, Lakers, and Hawks also discussing.

Nets need a third team because Magic looking to dump money and wanna move J Richardson. Nets can't take that deal on.

Boston signing Jason Terry. So Ray Allen probably going to have to choose between Memphis and Miami.

even w/o dumping salary, that would be a nice haul for Orlando. Howard pisses me off more than Lebron does, i think he's more of a diva.

I probably wouldn't do the deal unless someone takes Richardsons contract. Dwight holds no power here except that teams not based in Brooklyn will be less likely to trade as much for him knowing he's probably a rental. But the Magic will still get good offers from Houston, LA, and Atlanta I guarantee that.

If I'm the Magic I make the J Rich contract a demand, start the rebuilding process, get cap space, bring on the draft picks, see you in 2014

Steve Nash to the Lakers in a sign and trade. Suns get two firsts and two seconds. A Kobe/Nash backcourt would have been amazing 5 years ago. I guess it's still pretty good now a days

It's still really good today. Steve Nash is still a very good player. Also a great move by Nash to try and a get a ring. Better than playing in Canada or somehow trying to make the Knicks work.

Suns signed Michael Buckets and Goran Dragic.


And then the Knicks are just like "Lin-Sanity 3: Return of the Lin"

And the Raptors still get ****ed

[Clay Dreslough]

With the Nash signing, the Lakers are definitely the favorite to win the 2006 NBA Championship.
