Dwight Howard to BK for Mozgov

[CarltonJunior]

Damn it took the Lakers giving away DLO to get off Mozgov contract. Nets front office doing big things

Magic fukked up that deal and Lakers fans know it. They just wanted to praise the move at the time to feel at peace with it.

[JesusFOREVER]

Mozgov huh

 

[Henry Orbit]

MJ and Mitch might be the worst Owner-Gm combo in NBA history

That duo isn’t even the worst one in Hornets/Bobcats history

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

cheap ass

 

[Bilz]

if T-Mac is.. so is he

Why do people keep acting like TMac and Dwight are special cases? They're both near unanimous picks in any era

 

[duckbutta]

Dwight get traded like every year now...

Trading Dwight is like a prelude to nba off season fukkery

Like everyone is just setting around waiting and then all of a sudden Dwight get traded and then every GM looks at each other like and it's game on...

shyt I bet before Pop said one word to Kawhi on Tuesday he was probably looking at his phone like..."ok guys I just got word Dwight is getting traded tomorrow so let's start this meeting"

blame D12 for all them shytty move Billy King made

Did he or did he not back out of that trade because the Magic players made him feel bad about leaving?

Billy King was a fukking idiot, but had Dwight not done that then the story of the BK era is different. No Wallace trade, no Joe Johnson trade, no Celtics trade.

Would we have still sucked during that era because Dwight and Deron can't lead a team, yes. Would Billy still have made some dumb moves to try and fix that, yes. But that was all put in motion when Dwight backed out.

A history of the Dwightmares, I through V

The Nets would have sent Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks, Mehmet Okur’s expiring contract and two or three (lottery-unprotected; at least in one case) No. 1 picks for Howard, according to Vecsey. Hedo Turkoglu, who the Nets would have had to take back in the off-season deal, would not have been involved this time. The Nets no longer owned the salary-cap flexibility needed to assume his $23.8 million deal over the next two seasons. Also, The Nets wouldn’t have had to acquire Gerald Wallace to satisfy the Magic desire for an additional veteran.

On the afternoon of March 14, Howard, in a prearranged conference call, told Magic owners Richard and Dan DeVos, CEO Alex Martins, GM Otis Smith, his then agent Dan Fegan and his parents — he was opting out of next season’s contract, clearing the way for the trade.

“I believe that you will see Dwight traded to New Jersey tomorrow,” one source “close to the process” told Marc Stein, then of ESPN. Billy King had even asked Dr. Riley J. Williams III, the Nets medical director, to come in early the day after the deadline to expedite Howard’s physical.

Then, after the Magic played the Spurs that night, Howard changed his mind ... and the Nets franchise. He decided on the plane to opt in, ending trade talks. J.J. Redikk on how it happened.

“So we play the game, we get on the bus, and we get on the plane, and then I was kind of in the back of the players section, listening to music and then all of a sudden I notice that guys are kind of goofing around, and they start taking pictures, and it’s like, this is our last time together. We’re gonna take pictures. So they start taking photos of each other, I think somebody had posted a photo on Twitter.

“And then like after five minutes, Dwight’s just like, ‘you know what, I love you guys. I’m coming back.’

“And really, that was it! That was it! There was no, like — there wasn’t a heart-to-heart, it was just he was having a good time on the plane, and decided he wanted to come back. And I’m sure there was more to it than that, but —

He did not call, text or email the Nets. When the plane landed, Magic front office personnel were on hand with the papers he needed to sign. Those who worked in the Nets front office, on the other hand, were unaware of the turn-of-events until they woke up the next morning.

Fearing they could lose Deron Williams, then a free agent, without another star, Billy King and Bobby Marks panicked. They called the Trailblazers and asked about Gerald Wallace. The Blazers were in rebuild and very interested in getting high picks. So they said yes. The Nets sent Mehmet Okur’s expiring deal, Shawne Williams, and a 2012 1st-round pick (Top 3-protected) to Portland for the soon-to-be 30-year-old. The pick turned into Damian Lillard, who became rookie of the year. It was the worst move King made ... until the Boston Celtics deal 15 months later.

Free Kemba

yeah breh
i watched plenty of hornets games this season & i wont put M Williams in this - he’s solid role player
but

• MKG, the 2nd overall pick cant even shoot - and has no place in this NBA when your sf doesn't attempt one single three pointer all season
• Batum, got a max deal - but cant be putting up 11pts 5rebs 5ast making well over 20 million dollars a season (this the worst contract in the league)

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Wow... Watch he end up in Golden State it somewhere and people will be mad lol. I didn’t think Charlotte would trade him so fast

Mac had first ballot hall of fame talent,I don't think anyone disputes that,but he doesn't deserve to be in the HOF

Dwight Howard does

 

[Jerz-2]

Hornets blowing it up?

COME TO PHILLY, KEMBA!!!!
