Howard made it clear as late as Sunday to Wojnarowski that he would only be re-signing in 2013 with one team, clearly the Nets squad he has long coveted a trade to, threatening to even play out the 2012-13 season with Orlando to sign with a Brooklyn team that could offer a major endorsement kicker in his deal with his preferred shoe company. Williams' massive deal, and the agreed-upon trade that would send Joe Johnson to Brooklyn, appear to have signed the Nets right out of the Howard sweepstakes.
Mostly because Orlando, at this time, has no interest in the expiring contract and lower-rung draft picks the Nets would only have to offer in a deal, and finding a third team to send assets to Orlando (assets that wouldn't return Dwight Howard to the third team) would be tough. Because Howard is under contract for 2012-13, he's at the mercy of the team's he's held hostage for nearly a year, with no cap available next offseason as the Nets' payroll will be filled up with Williams, Johnson, Gerald Wallace, and potentially Brook Lopez's contract extension (even declining to re-sign Lopez would offer no such room). There's no free agent space left for Dwight, destroying the ideal that both Brooklyn and Howard once had of re-signing Williams this offseason only after coming to terms with Dwight Howard as a 2012 free agent.

即係magic肯同nets trade就簽到DH，如果等DH約滿簽就唔夠cap?
好似好複雜
