He's not.

He has no chance of being a Net.

Can you learn the rules of a CBA in basketball before you try to spout off bullshit that has no chance of happening?

So you don't think that the Nets can clear salary to sign Howard? Or is there something else I'm missing beyond the salary cap?

The Orlando GM overplayed his hand big time. He's gotta put someone in the stands to watch or that arena will be a ghost town. You can't sell a fan base on cap relief and #1 picks.

He's trying to duplicate OKC and that just isn't realistic nor practical for a first-time GM. Those things happen once in a blue moon in sports.

Bynum would absolutely re-up in Orlando. Bynum wants to be the man and wants max dollars. If traded there, Orlando can easily give him the most after next season.

It's just a ****ing circus that has to end. Howard has ruined himself in this process.

yeah I know, the only way is if magic finally decided to trade for Lopez once he's eligible in January which is ****ing reeruned because why the **** would they when they already said they didn't want Lopez.

I Howard becomes a Laker and plays well, all of the media hate will vanish like a fart in the wind.

it's not the nfl. you can't just cut guys to "clear space".

which is why trading for expiring contracts is so valuable and why magic would take vareajo

He doesn't even have media hate right now, which is nuts.

However, there's tons of fan hate, which he won't shake being a Laker.

Yep. Plus, Hennigan knows where he can flip Anderson.

I hope Mitch Kupchak puts a strict deadline on this bullshit. The Orlando GM can't keep this going on forever.

He had more clutch performances than ANYONE in the playoffs. If thats soft I hope he gets as soft as your brain.

Do you judge every player based in titles they've won at 23 years old? That would be an argument if he was 30. I don't know if you had got your dick wet at 23. Please keep blowing your wad into a sock because you don't need to reproduce.

I really don't know how people have the patience to teach special needs children. It's exhausting and I commend them.

I'm done with you. You keep your ignorant opinions and hold on tight.

It's not worth it. Durant is a terrific player. He's way too young to be measured a failure. He's the only one trying to make an issue of it.

The media is a trip, hate kobe no matter what, love LeBron no matter what. Fans, especially internationally, are completely different no matter how mcuh the media tries to control them.

Sportscenter would be a hour of LeBron/Kobe crucifixion if they were doing the same. Howard seems to have the media on his side for some reason.

It's no big deal wanting to go to greener pastures, but make up your ****ing mind already. Had he kept this shit out of the media Orlando could have struck a better deal for everyone.

The media has been on LeBron's knob through everything. I have to disagree with you there

Lately they have been. LeBron has taken plenty of heat. Kobe gets plenty of praise at times as well.

Point is they would both be getting killed for what Howard is doing.

What's to stop the Nets from doing the same thing the Lakers did with Odom to get Nash?

Well, LeBron deserves every bit of heat that he gets. People hate Kobe because he's good.

I hate LeBron as much as the next guy. But Howard is as big if not a bigger piece of shit.
