How Nets could deal for Dwight Howard
When evaluating the Nets’ agreement to acquire Joe Johnson on Monday, I wrote that Brooklyn could still try to restart trade talks with the Magic for Dwight Howard even though the deal with Atlanta — combined with the presumed re-signings of Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace — would make it difficult for the Nets to offer Orlando as much easy salary-cap relief as a few other suitors. But the Johnson/Wallace/Williams deals, none of which can be official until July 11, would not prohibit the Nets from pitching a sign-and-trade package built around center Brook Lopez, power forward Kris Humphries, shooting guard MarShon Brooks and multiple first-round picks.
And sure enough, Brooklyn is pitching that exact offer, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard. The Magic are considering it, but according to both Ken Berger of CBSSports.com and Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, the Magic are rightfully “meh
if the nets had drafted someone like drummond who has major upside it would been a major bargaining chipOriginally Posted by ill steelo
Dammit Billy King. He shoulda held on to that pick.
Even if he didn't covet anyone besides Davis, MKG, & Trob, whoever they drafted could've been an excellent asset for a Howard trade.
They could then give ORL two lottery picks in Brooks & the #6, and Lopez, a very good offensive player.
That's a better package than Brooks, Lopez, & a bunch of late first round picks

Technically, isn't the agreement between Wallace and the Nets just that? An agreement. Contracts haven't been signed, why can't the Nets just back out?
Only reason why he's even gettin' 10 million a year is for them to save face for giving up a damn lottery pick.

Exactly, that's the first guy that came to mind. Very very stupid of King to move that pick for a much less valued role player that likely won't be used in trade discussions.Originally Posted by Shox23

Again, this exception is only available to teams that are below the "apron," i.e., below the point $4 million above the tax line. Teams above the apron instead must use the smaller Taxpayer Mid-Level exception (see below). Further, any team that uses its Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception cannot go above the apron for the remainder of that season. In other words, once a team uses its Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception, the apron effectively becomes a hard cap for the remainder of that season
The luxury tax line is 70 mil, making the "apron" 74 million
JJ - $19,752,645
Dwight - $19,536,360
Deron -$17,177,795
Wallace - $8,950,000
Teletovic - $5,000,000
Total -$70,416,800
That only leaves $3,583,200to fill out the remaining 8 roster spots. If all 8 are rookies making $473,604that would cost $3,788,832.
Somebody will have to take less.
They'd have to beat out the NBA champs for him. Good luck.Originally Posted by Essential1
If Nets are worried about the boards. Give an offer to Camby for vet minimum.. Didn't have most RPG, but RP48 and Reb% he was 1st or 2nd
