Howard to Nets is Impossible.

CP3 not happening. Wouldn't be surprised if Dwight caves in to his boy J-Smoove though and heads home.

Why not CP3? He's from the south and it would be close to his home. CP3 also wanted to play in Atlanta at the start of his career, even when they sucked.


Not everything changes, besides Atlanta sucking of course.

Josh Smith is weak just like Joe Johnson.

I had a post on this earlier today. Even before they signed Transylvecoivic, it seemed impossible.

Reports lately have been saying he is very commited to the Clippers. I see him signing an extension before he even becomes a free agent next season. Even if he were to leave it would be for NY. It's possible... just not likely.

how would he leave for NY? The clippers would have to agree to trade him for melo or some such (no way they take amar'e back)

who wrote that trash? They can do it but they will be in luxury tax for the next.... who knows, but they have an owner that is willing to spend. What is this about a hard cap? There is no hard cap....

edit: I see Boozehound beat me to it. One of the few level headed posters on these boards

Not saying he would head there, but that's his only other preferred destination. If he wanted to I'm sure he could find a way to force himself there though.

Weird, ESPN said it was possible because of the resigning of Deron his salary can be allowed to put them over the luxary tax by like $20 million. Something the Russian said he doesn't mind paying. If he gets Howard that is.

Take that with a grain of salt though. It's ESPN.

[joshwake]

It is only possible if a 3rd team is involved.

[Brickz187]

It's improbable, not impossible.

where is there this idea of a hard cap? thanks for getting your facts wrong. That was basically the one thing the players won in the last cba.

No, he's right. It's why the Knicks can't give nash the full mid level, a hard ceiling kicks in.

[fatboy11]

For a fact, this is not impossible.

Try again.

says the dude with the hawks avy. again, address the fact that your OP is entirely false. As long as the nets are willing to pay luxury (and then some after next season), the trade is entirely possible (presuming the magic are willing). Now, trade is the only way thanks to dwight being a dingbat, but its entirely possibly under the cba. go read it.

I'm not a cap expert in the NBA, but I'm pretty sure hard cap=you can't in anyway surpass this cap and must be under it.

niko, you are smarter than this. go read the cba or coon's faq or any other informed opinion. THERE IS NO HARD CAP. The reason you cant offer a free agent the full MLE is because they changed that for teams over the tax to the mini mid-level. it doesnt mean you couldnt trade to put your team further into the luxury.
