Wow....

ESPN's Chris Broussard reported early today that the Nets and Magic were in discussions to possibly pull off a blockbuster deal that would send Dwight Howard to Brooklyn.

The Magic would send Howard to the Nets in exchange for a package that would include Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, and first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017. This would potentially give the Nets a "Big 3" of Howard, Deron Williams (if he signs) and Joe Johnson, although it looks like their drafts would suffer greatly over the next several years. And despite trading five players for Johnson on Monday, they could still field a starting five of Williams, Gerald Green, Johnson, Gerald Wallace and Howard, which looks pretty strong on paper. Details will surely emerge throughout the day, but it does look like the Nets are still very much alive in the Howard sweepstakes. Chris Mannix of SI is also reporting that the Nets could end up taking back Hedo Turkoglu in the deal, who would potentially start at small forward.

Edit: For Nets-Magic to progress on a Dwight Howard deal, a 3rd team needed to take Kris Humphries in a sign-and-trade, league source tells Y!
