Kris Kardashian Driving The Price Up

[Brady-Carter]

Looking for a reason why Kris Humphries is getting $12 million a year? Just look at the cap math from the Brooklyn Nets’ perspective... and then turn your gaze toward Florida.

If they’re thinking about trading for Dwight Howard after Jan. 15, when Brook Lopez is trade eligible – and most certainly, they are – then signing Humphries to a short contract of this size makes all kinds of sense.

The reason is that it allows the Nets to take back much bigger contracts from Orlando in a trade. Paying Humphries $12 million means that the combination of Humphries, Tyshawn Taylor and Reggie Evans can be used to take back $18.6 million in contracts from Orlando – which conveniently, is exactly enough to swallow the contracts of Orlando veterans Glen Davis, Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson and clean the Magic’s books going forward.

This is probably it. Still looking for Dwight. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, though.

Humphries will grab the boards and Lopez will score the buckets. Great relationship.

I doubt Jay ever had any pull in the first place. I thought he owned something like 2% of the team. He's just a face. Will Smith probably owns a bigger percentage of the Sixers than Jay's ownership stake in the Nets franchise.

seems like it. lol at thinkin jay's behind the nets decisions, he'll get lucky to get invited to team dinner

I don't get it.
