A trade involving Brook Lopez, Gerald Wallace, Marshon Brooks, and S+T Gerald Green? I'm convinced the Nets would have to acquire Dwight via trade this year. No way they will have cap flexibility next year with Dwill and JJohnson on the books.

They'd have to S&T Wallace too.
 
Thought Hibbert getting the max would be talked about more in this thread, while he is a good player I can't see him being a max player. Although this link does explain the new CBA max is lower (which I knew but didn't know exact numbers).

The offer sheet Hibbert has verbally agreed to with Portland is reportedly for four years and worth about $58 million.​

Also random thought, as we all know Blazers have offered Jazz FA's and we all felt they are intentionally messing with the Jazz and what team do the Jazz have a lot of similarities with the Pacers (just look at the past several drafts of them taking the player the Jazz wanted and vice versa with Hayward).
 
Hibbert is a max player in this league. He's productive and 7 foot 2. I don't think he's one of those "headscratcher" signings. I'm kind of waiting to see if the Pacers match the offer.

I think the Blazers like messing with RFA's in order to mess up the competition's salary situation. It's karma that Batum is getting a massive offer from the wolves.
 
Orlando would have to accept a package of Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks and multiple future first-round draft picks, and the Howard deal would take the form of a massive sign-and-trade. SheridanHoops

This isn't free-agent related, but I'd love to see the Warriors give up a lot to get Howard for a year. They still seem willing: https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/7/2/3131643/nba-trade-rumors-dwight-howard-golden-state-warriors. Granted, I would only be happy with this if Howard went elsewhere after the one year. I'd be kind of pissed if the W's somehow convinced him to re-sign.

Wouldn't that be funny. Warriors dump their assets for a one year rental of mopey D. Howard. I approve.
 
If the Nets pull off this trade with the Magic (and with three first rounders I believe it is about as fair value as it's going to get) Deron Williams will surely sign with the Brooklyn Nets.

Also, there are a lot of rumors that the Jet is looking hard at the Celtics, and the Celtics are looking back.
