This is just another reason to hate the NBA and all of its flash and dash. Give me the college game any day.
From what little attention I've paid to the situation, I heard/read that getting Joe Johnson means the Nets have basically no shot at getting Dwight now due to salary cap space.

" But the Nets also privately acknowledge that this move all but rules out the ability to acquire Howard, who Monday publicly reiterated his long-held desire to be traded to the Nets....Of recent attempts to re-engage the Magic on trade talks for Howard, one source told ESPN.com: "They didn't want to dance with us. Dwight blew it in March (when he opted in to the final year of his current Magic contract)."
