08:12 AM ET 07.10 | Not so fast? The Orlando Magic apparently tapped the brakes on the proposed blockbuster four-team trade that would send disgruntled center Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets and Nets power forward Kris Humphries to Cleveland in a sign-and-trade. In the midst of a 24-hour media frenzy that saw the proposed deal increase from three teams to four, including as many as 11 players, Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel sent out a Tweet on Monday morning that killed the momentum. Sources confirmed that to The Plain Dealer as well, calling reports of the trade "premature." If it gets done, it could take until Tuesday or Wednesday to nail down all of the moving parts. One source told the New York Post the odds of the deal getting done were 60-40.

The guy in the picture can stop the trade from happening. If I were him I'd fire my agent and get a better one. Dan Fegan don't care about Hump. He cares about the big bucks in Howard.

Hump's been humping too much. It's time for him to get humped now.

Same as the other day......wake us when it is done - though rumor is now the cave are out and the bobcats are in

As a Cavs fan I don't know how I feel about this? On one hand having Humphries run the 4 would be a solid acquisition but on the other he wouldn't be happy playing for them because its not his first choice of teams. So you have to question his motivation to play.

He'll be fine in Cleveland or wherever he ends up. Despite all the drama around him he's a consistent solid player when he's not thinking about Kim Kardashian.
