..taj "vodeći" novinar spominje (ajde barem spominje , makar je to najrealnija situacija) da je Mirza možda potpisao
mini mid-level (3/9$) contract što znači da momčad (kad nema ful mid-level exception) nije ograničena hard capom (oko 74mil) nego može potpisati ugovora kolko hoće dok je voljna plaćati penalty... ..a ne u cijelom tekstu kao da sam sebe uvjerava da Howard neće u Netse...
...dakle Howard je još uvijek itekako u igri.... ..a mogu i treću ekipu negdje iskopat i uključiti nekog igrača...

prvotno je bilo reportano da je full mid level u igri, sinoć je tek javljeno da se radi o manjem mid levelu, evo ti hollingerov tekst na to
Brooklyn hurt its chances of getting Dwight Howard with all the other deals it made, as I wrote Tuesday.
That
part remains true, but the Nets may not have damaged their odds to
quite the extent we previously thought. As a reminder, none of these
contracts we're hearing reported are on paper yet (moves can't be made
official until July 11), and until they are, there's always room to
wiggle.
Well, something could be wiggling. A source close to the
negotiations tells us that Bosnian forward Mirza Teletovic might not
sign with Brooklyn for the non-taxpayer's midlevel exception, as
originally reported, but for the taxpayer's midlevel, which is a smaller
contract with a maximum of $3.09 million for the first year.
This
development would leave the door open for Howard, if only slightly. If
they use the full non-taxpayer MLE for Teletovic, the Nets would face a
hard cap of $74.3 million this season; it would be impossible to slot
Howard's contract into that constraint given the deals to which they've
already committed. But if they use the taxpayer's midlevel, they are
free to build up as big a payroll as they choose this season, limited
only by the league's other salary rules.
The Nets, I am also told,
will not be using their biannual exception at all. Again, using this
exception would have yielded a $74.3 million cap for them this season.
With
this constraint aside, a potential Howard trade wouldn't be the only
benefit. The Nets also wouldn't be constrained in what they can offer
free agents Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez, so Brooklyn would then be a
heavy favorite to keep both and, in Howard's absence, send out a potent
starting five of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Humphries
and Lopez.
Operating this way would also allow the Nets to use two
small trade exceptions they still have on their books, one of which
they will partially use to acquire forward Reggie Evans from the
Clippers.
As for Howard, this scenario would remain unlikely, but
it would open up the possibility of the Nets signing-and-trading
additional riffraff from the end of the roster to swallow an additional
contract or two from the Magic. Brooklyn could include the likes of
Sundiata Gaines, Armon Johnson, Shelden Williams and, perhaps, Gerald
Green. Individually they don't add much salary ballast, but together
they help offset the base-year compensation issues with Humphries and
Lopez and allow the Nets to take back another salary besides Howard's.
Alas,
huge obstacles remain: Orlando has no want or need for Humphries, other
teams are likely to offer better young players and/or more cap relief
and there's the little matter of six different players having to agree
to sign-and-trade deals.
But with the possibility that Teletovic
will take the taxpayer's MLE, the Nets are still in the conversation. It
didn't look that way 24 hours ago.
