They just have to come up with enough salary via SNT to match Howard's salary coming back (and potentially Turkoglu, I guess).
Having said that, this doesn't make any sense. By all accounts from yesterday, the Magic weren't even taking the Nets calls regarding a package centered around Lopez. Now suddenly they're talking? And the Mavs are going to work out a SNT with both Lopez AND Humphries, with Base Year Compensation complicating the matters for both?
Is this real life? Surely this isn't legit. So far it's only coming from Broussard, hopefully it stays that way.

I thought you have had to play with your current team for 3 years to get bird rights...
