Cohen 8-Ball: The "Next" Dwight Decision
Cohen’s Analysis: REQUEST TRADE BEFORE DEADLINE TO NETS – Remember, Dwight’s original three-team preferred destination list during his final months in Orlando were, in favored order, Brooklyn, Dallas and Los Angeles. The Nets have well exceeded the salary cap and are already in punitive luxury tax land, however if Howard requested a trade from L.A. in these next couple of weeks and, like he did with the Magic, recommend a deal to Brooklyn, the Nets can offer Brook Lopez in any potential package. If the Lakers believe the Kobe-Dwight coexistence won’t be effective, should they consider replacing Howard with Lopez, who is having a marvelous season?
