"....Nonetheless, after a few days of silence, Brooklyn and Orlando began discussing possible trades again early Tuesday morning, sources said. The Nets proposed sending a package of Brook Lopez and Humphries, both through sign-and-trade deals, plus Brooks and three future first-round draft picks.
But Orlando does not want Humphries or Brooks, so the Nets began looking for a third team to pull in to help push the deal through. The Magic continue to speak with other teams, including the Lakers and Houston Rockets, about possible deals, but nothing has piqued their interest, sources say.
One league source familiar with the negotiations believes that Sunday's widespread speculation about an imminent deal with the Nets might have been strategically leaked to entice other potential trade partners to make their best offer to the Magic.
Orlando likes Lakers center Andrew Bynum, but one source said Bynum has refused to assure the Magic that he will re-sign with them beyond next season. Bynum can become a free agent in the summer of 2013, so trading for him without his long-term commitment would put Orlando in the same bind it finds itself in with Howard.
Orlando likes Lopez as a consolation prize to Bynum, and a package featuring the Brooklyn center and a slew of draft picks intrigues the Magic, according to sources."
thats interesting.....Lopez is better than Bynum...yet Orlando doesnt seem to have any interest in him(or any other team in the league for that matter)....is it b/c Bynum is the "bigger name"?....possibly but im sure Bynum's skills have a lot more to do with it than a name...and im not sayin Lopez isnt that closely behind him(ya'll act like there is actually 29 other legit centers out there to begin with) but he aint breathing down his neck...if he was more teams would be interested in obtaining his services...matter fact...Nets fans when is his contract up?
