Backup Plans for the Brooklyn Nets If the Dwight Howard Deal Falls Through

Back by popular demand...talk of Dwight Howard joining the Brooklyn Nets!

Okay, so maybe not popular demand, per se. More like Superman's own single-minded desire to be the king of the Barclays Center, even though he'd have to share the spotlight with Deron Williams and Joe Johnson.

ESPN's Chris Broussard recently reported that the Nets and the Orlando Magic had discussed a deal that would send MarShon Brooks, Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries and three first-round picks to Florida in exchange for the six-time All-Star. However, any deal that ends with Superman in Metropolis will likely require a third team to facilitate Orlando's desire to offload at least one of a handful of bad contracts.

But suppose the Nets and the Magic can't get a deal done. Suppose Billy King and Rob Hennigan get sick of talking to one another, or run out of minutes on their phone plans or something. Or, suppose Orlando just ain't buyin' what Brooklyn's sellin'.

What then?
