Mavs, remember, tried to engage ORL in sign-and-trade talks featuring Tyson Chandler for Dwight. Magic passed (and TC obviously wanted NYC)

Why the hell would Chandler play in Orlando????

Makes no sense.

Ok I've been thinking about this a lot.
Why is NJ going after Nene. They have lopez
But I think we are pairing pau with Nene and then flipping Nene and other pieces to Orlando for dwight Howard.
That's the only reason I can see NJ getting Nene so we don't because they know Howard probably has us on his list of three teams he wants to go to being courtny lee is his good friend.
Howard has said NJ is his # 1 choice but that's before we land pau from LA
I figure Nene a #1 pick Montij and lull from overseas and maybe t.will
I think that beats lopez and 2 #1 draft picks

Howard/hill
Gasol/patterson
Bud/morris
Lee/Taylor
Lowry/flynn
If morey pulled that off he'd be a golden god

Lets get involved in this trade as well and then the owners block it and Howard and Paul say f it and say they want to play in Houston. Darryl Morey's plan the whole time.

Howard is smart. NJ is the best situation in the world togo to. They have a new owner with deep pockets and commitment, a new billiondollar arena, access to the NYC market and also the chance to be the savior and lead a legacy by taking this franchise to new heights with this new direction rather than jumping on coattails of lakers or something like that. Howard and williams will be hte kings of NY

With the Nets, it's the chance of going to Brooklyn. To get on the ground floor of something that huge is exciting.

Wow, people here seem to really overestimate this part. Seriously, would you move halfway across the country and to a likely worse team just to hang out with your buddy? And to think people still talk about Cat and Stevie....

Orlando Magic superstar Dwight Howard has requested a trade to the New Jersey Nets, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Saturday.

Orlando GM Otis Smith has made it clear that he will trade Howard wherever the Magic get the best possible package, but the fact that Howard is willing to sign a five-year, $109 million extension with New Jersey makes it likely that the Nets can be the most aggressive in offering an attractive package

Los Angeles had long been a preferred choice of Howard’s, but sources say that several factors have pushed him toward the Nets over the Lakers. Howard has a strong relationship with Deron Williams, and has also resisted following the same career path as Shaquille O’Neal, who left the Magic for the Lakers two decades ago.

The Nets are offering a package centered on Brook Lopez, and multiple first-round picks, sources said. New Jersey could also be looking for deals to sweeten its offer to Orlando. The Nets have been determined to make a deal for Howard, one of the league’s most dominant players, to be a centerpiece for them as the move into the new Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn next season. Howard could pair with All-Star point guard Deron Williams to make the Nets instant Eastern Conference contenders.

The Magic are still focused on a possible trade to the Lakers, sources said, for a package that would include Andrew Bynum. The Magic want to unload Hedo Turkoglu in any deal that includes Howard. The Nets, flush with salary cap space, would likely take Turkoglu into a deal.

Howard prefers to the Nets over the Lakers, but hasn’t ruled out the possibility that he would sign a long-term extension with L.A. should he be traded there.

Howard has determined that he wants to be the centerpiece of the new Brooklyn arena, and pair up with All-Star guard Deron Williams when the Nets to move to New York next season.

Orlando officials have resisted being told where Howard wants to be traded, sources said, but understand it will be difficult to get a strong trade package elsewhere if Howard won’t commit to re-signing with that team. After opting out of his contract on July 1, Howard would be eligible for a five year, $109 million extension with the Nets.

Nets will need third or fourth team to get Dwight, but source says "will not be a problem." As @Al_Iannazzone points out, Billy King has a long history of putting together complicated, multi-team deals.

Uh, what RT @JoshuaBRobbins: Dwight: "Just because I've asked to be traded doesn't mean I don't like where I'm at."

What a dumb ass!
