Orlando Magic exploring other Dwight Howard trades, source says - ESPN
Orlando explores talks with Houston and the Lakers to move D12 to the Lakers and Bynum to Houston and Houston will in turn send player with cap friendly contracts plus future draft picks to seal their deal.
The Houston Rockets have joined the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets as the most serious potential trade partners with the Orlando Magic on a Dwight Howard deal, according to sources close to the process.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets are discussing a multitude of trade scenarios with the Magic, offering to serve both as the team that would acquire Howard in a direct trade between the clubs and also as a third team that would participate in a trade that lands Howard with the Lakers and brings All-Star center Andrew Bynum to Houston.
The Rockets, in the latter scenario, would push to acquire Bynum from the Lakers while furnishing the Magic with a package of future draft picks and cap-friendly contracts to set Orlando up for a full-fledged roster reload.
Sources confirmed a HoopsWorld.com report that the three-team trade construction that sends Bynum to the Rockets instead of the Magic -- with Orlando said to be concerned about its abiity to re-sign Bynum for the long term -- gained traction Tuesday.
The key elements of the three-team proposal, sources said, call for the Lakers to acquire Howard and the Rockets -- realizing their longrunning quest to acquire a top-20 player -- to take back the mercurial Bynum as he enters the final year of his contract.
2012 NBA free agency -- Brooklyn Nets end pursuit of Dwight Howard, sources says - ESPN New York
Nets give up on acquiring D12.
The Nets effectively ended their pursuit of Howard by agreeing to terms with center Brook Lopez on a four-year, $60 million max contract, a league source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com.
Sources said earlier Wednesday the Nets had decided to "resolve" their situation with Howard by 6 p.m. ET.
"We've moved on. It just got to a point where we couldn't keep going back and forth with Orlando. They had about 14 days to do something and didn't. We just had to move on, and we felt that way this morning," a Nets source told ESPNNewYork.com's Ian O'Connor.

New York Knicks to 'absolutely' match offer for Jeremy Lin, Mike Woodson says - ESPN New York
New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson said on Wednesday the team will "absolutely" match the Houston Rockets' four-year, $28.8 million offer sheet for Jeremy Lin.
^ Ah, the Knicks with their very deep pockets.
Is Jeremy Lin worth the US$ 28.9 Million over 4 years? While he no doubt deserves a big payday, the offer by Houston is certainly something that will give any team pause. In any case, I'm a big Linsanity fan....so let's go JL!
dapat lang sa NY si Lin.
baka nga siya pa maging key player para magkaroon din ng ring si Melo.
