    New Jersey acquiring more picks?

    Perhaps the Melo talks are not so dead after all.

    Could be a good fit in Orlando as well.. Another good rebounder next to Howard who can also shoot the 3 ball pretty well...

    Orlando's really gambling everything on this year. I think they'll regret it.

    Orlando is doing everything they can to keep Howard in their uniform.

    A 7 ft 3 pt shooter who can grab boards... Not a bad pickup next to Howard.

    Don't the Magic need to send them something else, Troy makes way to much to simple go for a draft pick?

    Who knows? But it looks like there's another Melo trade being put together.

    I think his contract is expiring. But if Howard leaves, they'll be like the Cavs, rebuilding w/o a 1st rounder. As for the Nets, I like this deal. If they try to get Melo and be good, they have alot to give. If that doesn't work, they can build up the team w/ picks.

    Is this going down or what? It would be an ok fit if Murphy is healthy. A big guy who has awesome range and can grap rebounds.

    I think Howard still needs someone who can prevent all the penetration which gets him into foul trouble. Magic screwed by letting Matt Barnes go.

    this.
    Troy Murphy makes a lot and is an expiring contract... I just can't imagine what the Magic could send to match the salaries that the Nets could even want
