magicbalala245 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Same guy who reported at the deadline what NJ and LAL were offering at the time so this is legit Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore learned Friday night from NBA sources that the Orlando Magic are "very close" to trading center Dwight Howard. Pingalore's sources, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the proceedings, were not ready to name the team that the Magic were trading Howard to at this time. One source told Pingalore they were "very confident that a deal is close to being done." The parameters of trades can be discussed now, but they can't become official until Wednesday under NBA rules. The sources believe that the Brooklyn Nets are out of the mix to land Howard. The sources could not stress enough that a deal is close to being finalized and that the Magic will meet Howard'strade request to play elsewhere next season. Brooklyn had been Howard's first choice from December, when he first asked to be traded. Howard said he will notsign an extension after this season with any team other than the Nets. The all-star center's preferred destination has been limited to just one team since the traderequest that he reiterated to new Magic GM Rob Hennigan last Friday in Los Angeles. Pingalore's sources believe that the Los Angeles Lakers are very much in play for Howard. The Lakers reached an agreement for a sign-and-trade deal for two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash on Wednesday. A deal for Howard could result in the Lakers shipping center Andrew Bynum or power forward Pau Gasol to Orlando.

Jenneral Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 So then he'll just go to the Nets next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 David Aldridge @daldridgetnt Was told half an hour ago by source with direct knowledge of talks that there is no imminent deal for Dwight Howard. FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 So then he'll just go to the Nets next year?I will be shocked if he hasn't been traded by the 11th. If he's still a Magic, Nets and Lakers will be back in talks after December 15 probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Iggy also involved? That sixers nation thing is 4 days old. Pingalore and MySportsLegion. Nope. Nets aren't out of this. And David Pingalore is a legit source he didn't say the deal is done he just reported the deal is close like just like how he reported at the deadline the two offers Orlando were considering for Dwight with NJ and LA http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Sources-Nets-Lakers-in-trade-mix-for-Dwight-Howard/-/1637132/9289198/-/xr1qvx/-/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) My bad, i just saw it on realgm. I still think that the Lakers are going to stay put with their current roster. No more significant moves. Right now I'm just concerned with resigning Jordan Hill and maybe adding a couple good shooters via free agency or trade.

Teletopez Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 And David Pingalore is a legit source he didn't say the deal is done he just reported the deal is close like just like how he reported at the deadline the two offers Orlando were considering for Dwight with NJ and LA http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Sources-Nets-Lakers-in-trade-mix-for-Dwight-Howard/-/1637132/9289198/-/xr1qvx/-/index.htmlI can't take Pingalore seriously. The guy has been spewing terribly inaccurate information since the Dwight talks began last fall, with the exception of the March 14-15 events.

magicbalala245 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Legit source now it could make David Pingalore look legit according to Marc J Spears Nets have "30 percent chance" of landing Dwight in trade but likely would turn attention to FAs if it cant be done in a week,source tells Y!

Guru Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Legit source now it could make David Pingalore look legit according to Marc J Spears What? They are saying two different things. One is saying that Nets are out of the race. The other one is saying that we have 30% chance and if we don't get him we will start to fill out our roster for this year without worrying about Dwight.
