The Nets are over the cap salary so much now. At best I say Howard will get signed to a 7 to 12 million dollar contract. He will not take that. The Magic organization is trying to get the best out of Howard and to solve all their problems in one trade. Problem 1: is Howard of course, he pretty much destroyed and offended the Magic organization, the city, and its people. So he got to go immediately he is not going stay there, it already confirm they will deal him before early August. Problem 2: Get cap salary relief by getting rid of bad contracts. Which are of course Dwight Howard's 19.5 million dollar contract, Hedo Turkoglu's 11.9 million dollar contract, Glen Davis's 6.4 million dollar contract, and Jason Richardson's 5.8 million dollar contract. Problem 3: Rebuild the organization, most likely with draft picks. Both Houston and Cleveland have many draft picks to give them if they are in the deal. Only a 3 team trade or a 4 team trade can make problem 1, 2, and 3 all solved. Most likely 3 team trade. Lakers would love to get their hands on Howard because he is much more consistent. Cleveland are looking for a new star to build around, while they do have the reigning Rookie of the Year, Bynum is their prime target behind Howard. Lakers and Cleveland are expected to take two bad contracts each while Cleveland gives Orlando a lot of draft picks. The same can be said if Houston was part of the deal, but they wanted to try it out on their own.
