goodbye Yao Ming

CP3 to Lakers:

http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblo ... -odom.html

not official yet until tomorrow

damn, no CP3 + D12 in Orlando.

even CP3 likes to play in Orlando with Dwight, the Magic don't have good assets to get him
No Gasol in LA? Hmm...

The league is also looking to kill the deal, since they actually own the Hornets at the moment.

UPDATE: Apparently, they succeeded.

why Andrew?

Other owners complained because competitive balance and players leaving small markets was one of the key points of contention of the lockout. The league actually owners the Hornets at the moment while they await a new ownership group to buy the team, so they were able to step in and kill the deal.

hahaha good!!! im tired of hearing about the lakers time for a new team to step up... one thats not the miami heat

they even use the media that Dwight likes to play in LA damn, if the Magic have a good assets to acquire Paul

Dwight Howard is preparing to ask the Orlando Magic to trade him to the New Jersey Nets, according to sources close to the situation.

Howard's representatives have told the Nets that they are his preferred destination.

Howard has yet to tell the Magic he will not re-sign with them after this season, but the sources said he will within the next few days, perhaps as early as Friday. There is also a chance that Howard will not attend the opening of training camp Friday, according to a source.

As ESPN.com reported last week, the Nets are ready to offer the Magic a package built around center Brook Lopez and two first-round draft picks, New Jersey's own and one the Nets acquired from Houston in a previous trade, according to sources.

New Jersey is also willing to take back Hedo Turkoglu and the three years, $34 million remaining on his deal.

The appeal of the Nets for Howard is the chance to play with All-Star point guard Deron Williams and the Nets' move into a new arena in Brooklyn for the start of the 2012-13 season.

Williams and Howard spoke several times about teaming up during the lockout.

If Howard is indeed committed to joining the Nets, he can all but force the Magic to make the trade by declaring his intentions not to sign a long-term contract with any other team, thereby assuring that those clubs make low-ball offers to Orlando.

In light of the league's refusal to allow Chris Paul to dictate a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, one has to wonder if it will sit idly by and let Howard facilitate a move to the Nets.

Howard's decision to go to the Nets would put a monkey wrench in the Los Angeles Lakers' plan to team Howard with Kobe Bryant by trading Andrew Bynum for the Magic center.

The Nets are continuing to pursue free-agent center Nene in case their plan to acquire Howard falls through.

We can probably leave rumours talk in the NBA & Basketball Talk section and just use this to track transactions that are official for the sake of roster updates.

Magic traded Brandon Bass to the Celtics for Glen "Big Baby" Davis and waive Gilbert Arenas (finally)

Magic sign Larry Hughes and Gabe Pruitt
Chuck Hayes sign 4 year deal with the Kings

Suns waive Vince Carter and sign Shannon Brown and Sebastian Telfair

Grant Hill stays with the Suns

got read in NBA.COM

Hmmm looks like Magic are either trying to finally get a big man back up for Dwight or Get one that can play in case he really does want to get traded.... but why the hell would we want hughes and pruitt?

i don't know, Otis signing some garbage out there..

Chris Wilcox sign with the Celtics

garbage is true... they trying to run Howard out of town?

i don't think so..

Did Brandon Roy really retire?

i thought his injury was already gone.. he will comeback im sure

i thought his injury was already gone.. he will comeback im sure

He has an incurable condition with his knees, it's not going away. The latest word is that he'll have to retire.
