Magic shoulda traded dwight and turk for rashard Lewis and the 2012 pick and seraphin

That's way better than the nets offer

didn't they amnesty shard already

Hump aint taking a 1 year deal..and he shouldnt. His stock wont get any higher than it is now.

Brook is cashin out either way

If Jeff fukking Green can get 4 years/$36 mil and he didn't even play last year, Hump should be expecting AT LEAST that type of offer on the table before he signs anything. He's actually shown he can do something at an elite level (rebound).

I know my team might be looking into a trade to get a CENTER

But how many teams would actually get pissed off? Other than the Nets .. all the others are just along for the ride. Whether it be for a pick. Ir for a little cap relief. No other team (other than Orlando and the Nets) are really that invested in the supposed 4 team deal.

And I would think Henny would be more worried about what his bosses and his fans think above all else.

Lets see, the Clippers would be pissed, considering they want Brooks, and you can't have this many players involved in a trade without players/agents catching feelings if it falls apart. It's one thing if a trade falls apart, it's completely another to think a team is just "trolling". That is essentially just burning bridges with agents, and possible future trading partners and will get you labeled a certain way.

That is just a crazy idea wherever it originated from.

They traded him and he got bought out

The real question is why was that ever an option to take

and what team was orlando trying to entice to take a bad contract?

cant be new jersey because they basically saying fukk me spank me pull my hair to orlando as long as they get dwight.

cant be the lakers cause thats just being held up by the lakers, they offer bynum tomorrow thats a done deal.

how about it was more orlando being pressured into that deal in the first place.
