Originally posted by B-Fly View PostYes, but for this franchise, the simple matter that one of the best players in the NBA has demanded a trade to the Nets is in itself a huge, huge thing.
The New Jersey Nets met with Dwight Howard Thursday night in a move that would be a violation of the league's tampering rules, according to multiple sources.
Howard met with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and general manager Billy King in Miami, sources said. Howard was joined by a few business associates.
The meeting violates the NBA's tampering rules because Howard's current team, the Orlando Magic, did not know about the meeting or give the Nets permission to meet with him, according to the sources.
NBA.com reported that the Magic are considering filing tampering charges against two teams, one being the Nets. SI.com reported that the other team is the Houston Rockets."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Reports are now circulating that the Nets will go hard for Nene. This would give them the perfect complimentary post player. They could still add a post scorer or perimeter shooter without making waves.

I think the tampering charges are incidental, and that the Nets still have a great chance of getting Howard. ORL gave Howard's agent permission to talk with NJ, LAL and DAL, and if Howard's preference remains NJ, I think Lopez and draft picks for Howard and Turk could get the job done. Not sure if they'd still be able to sign Nene at PF or if they'd have to aim lower - maybe re-up with Kris Humphries-Kardashian-Humphries and do a one-year deal with AK-47, giving you enough options at the 3 and 4 slots assuming Turk has to be in the Howard deal. I feel pretty good about Morrow at the 2.

For your sake, I hope that you get what you want, but I'm beginning to think that Dan Gilbert might not be as big an idiot as I thought..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
