Miles to Nets?

The New Jersey Nets and Utah Jazz continue to discuss a C.J. Miles deal, according to sources close to the situation.

This trade is still very much ALIVE folks. Here's hoping for that draft pick.

I'm giddy just thinking about it.

If we could trade him for a guy that has even watched a game from the bench.

...that's some very good funny stuff!

That draft pick? You really think the Nets are going to give us a 1st rounder for CJ Miles?

I don't know their salary situation, but if they are looking to save as much $ as possible to sign Lopez, DWill & Howard, then I guess it's possible that they wouldn't want a 1st round pick who they'd have to pay. I'm sure you're right, though.

That was my thought. Maybe they give Utah the right to switch picks (as long as Utah ends up with a lottery selection). That way they save $1-$1.5M but still end up with a very good pick. THe good news is that Howard (Dwight, that is) has NOT given Orlando any promise he'll opt in next season. I'll bet his agent has reminded him that Adidas is waiting with a contract >$200M if Howard plays in Brooklyn. Dwight is going to be a Net, you can take that to the bank,

I'd be happy if they add a second rounder to the Morrow/Petro trade. Those contracts suck and so does Petro. Morrow is good, but he'd be bench material in the future.

And the hopes and dreams of Trout have been crushed.

Sad Panda. So we get Miles and Bell for the rest of the season, yay.

If it means keeping DWill in Nets? May be?

There are still conflicting reports on Howard. Several teammates have said his words are that he's "all in" for this season, but said nothing about a guarantee for next year. Without a guarantee, I think Orlando trades him. Howard will go where his agent and Adidas want him to go. That shoe deal will be a lot more than what he makes playing basketball.

NJ will do whatever it takes to make Deron happy. Unless Howard stays in Orlando, he's going to go wherever Deron goes (or stays).

Dwill likes CJ, yeah, but he likes winning a lot more.
