Nets near makeover, eye sidekick for D-Will

I really hope they get something significant done this time. It's been so long since we heard big plans from the Nets but they always come up short.. good luck Nets, good luck Brooklyn... good morning fan nation! Happy Monday to all and to all a happy Monday!

If this happens , one must believe that there is another dumb gm , that would take Amare off our hands

Knicks will be better off moving Melo. STAT

I get brooklyn needs AS caliber bodies......
but why take on joe johnsons huge contract?

They need something big to appease DWill. Maybe they're trying to smoke and mirror him by trying to represent a highly paid player as a high profile difference maker.

Knicks will be better off moving Melo. STAT is still a valuable piece. I can see the Lakers going after him if they miss out on Howard. Melo's style of play is not good for team work. He's the real problem that we need to address... with D'Antoni, Phil Jackson and George Karl calling that out it's clear Melo's a major problem. The Knicks/Miami series would have been more close if Melo passed the ball and read the game like an average player of his caliber will. He just doesn't have it... so the sooner Knicks get rid of him the more realistic they will get at being real competitors again. As constructed right now Knicks are a joke and will struggle to make the playoffs and get knocked out of the playoffs in 5 games or less.

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard told Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski that there's only one team with which he would sign an immediate extension if traded this offseason.

"There's only one team on my list and if I don't get traded there, I'll play the season out and explore my free agency after that," Howard told Wojnarowski...

Looks like Howard just became the Nets spokesman and gave DWill a reason to consider signing. That is unless Deron remembers how much Dwight stands by his word.

Oops. This is a CNNSI story from this morning and it did name the Nets as the only team Howard would sign an extension with.

Sorry!

I just don't see the need to take on that much contract, when they don't have an equally bad one to flip.Joe is a solid player- but they would basically take themseves out of he FA market ,forever

Yeah, he is still owed 90 mil (which is freaking crazy). I cant see how this helps them in the slightest.

Howard is an idiot, maybe if he was so sure there was only one team he wanted to play for he shouldn't have opted in for another year.

Howard is indeed an idiot. An idiot with a back problem now. Any team willing to pony up for that gets what they deserve. Is Houston stupid? Offering 25 million to Asik, a guy that scores 3 points and gets 5 rebounds a game.

He's a good defensive C, but for that money they can freaking have him.

Yep. Remember when he signed the extension? He said it was because he was loyal. Even DWade smirked when quoting Howard.

So, what happened to the loyalty? I don't consider dissing your team and telling the world you don't want to play for them as 'loyal'!

howard to okc for westbrook straight up trade.. i think thats fair for both sides
