Per Woj and Berger, the Cavs have pulled out of trade talks with the Nets and the Magic. Take a look:
Cleveland is out as a third-team trade partner in a possible Orlando-Brooklyn deal for Dwight Howard, sources tell Y! Sports.

League source confirms Cavs pulled out of three-way Dwight Howard trade with Magic and Nets yesterday.

Woj reports as well that if a deal happens, it will be between the Nets and the Magic. Berger also claims that the Bobcats, another team rumored to be that magical 3rd team, is out as well.
Call me crazy, but isn’t this a good thing for the Nets pursuit of Howard? Eliminates the complexity of the trade. If Orlando and Brooklyn are as motivated to close as reports say they are, I can’t see how this ruins the pursuit.
The Dwightmare continues.
