From Tommy Dee:
Word is in these ears Howard to Nets about done… Cleveland sounds like the 3rd team involved. Stay tuned.

And later, from Ken Berger:
Nets “making progress” on finding a third team to take Kris Humphries in a scenario that would send Dwight Howard to Brooklyn, source says.

One possible destination for Humphries is Cleveland, who would get the forward in a sign-and-trade arrangement, source says.

Alex Kennedy is also reporting the 76ers are a possibility.
At this point, this deal is Derrick Favors: raw, undeveloped, but man, everyone sees the possibility there! We will, of course, update you as Favors grows into a superstar the situation develops.
Meanwhile, it is a lovely thought that Cleveland, after passing on Thomas Robinson because they’ve “committed” to Tristan Thompson, could be the team that facilitates a deal to give Miami a legitimate foe in the Eastern Conference by adding Kris Humphries. But, as always with anonymous sources on this EXTRAVADEALZA, the report could mean oh so many things. Most of all, it means that there’s currently no deal in place.
