I know that they can afford it, but you're still talking about an insane amount of luxury tax that even the Lakers would never take on. And the Magic aren't interested in their assets, so I'm not sure how realistic the Nets are for Dwight. Didn't we just spend the last month watching Brooklyn fail to get Dwight? If their assets don't change between now and the deadline, why would we expect the trade to happen then either?

Considering everything that's come out of the Orlando front office so far, I don't think they really have any interest in Lopez and his ridiculous contract, nor would they want a non-expiring Bynum... They're looking for a clean slate - it doesn't seem like they'd want to take on any big contracts that they didn't ink themselves (with CBA-friendly clauses, of course).
I'm not saying we'd be a lock to sign Howard if Bynum signed that extension, but I don't really see a whole lot of competition if the Lakers and Nets are out of the running...
