<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>The Magic’s Keyon Dooling, seen as an ideal backup because of his ability to play both guard spots, is being heavily recruited by the Nets and the Heat. Although seven teams have approached the 6′-3″ Dooling, Miami and New Jersey are seen as front runners. The Nets are reportedly willing to give Dooling a three-year deal. The Heat will not. New Jersey first pursued Dooling in 2005, but he signed with the Magic.</div> Orlando loses Duhon to Knicks - John Denton - Florida Today Agent says Heat targeting Dooling - Barry Jackson & Michael Wallace - Miami Herald In search of independence - Ira Winderman - South Florida Sun-Sentinel Well, this would be pretty sweet. We couldn't get Westbrook in the draft, so why not get the next best thing? Haha. I'd love having this guy on the team - he plays good defense, he's athletic, he can shoot a good midrange game, and he's just great to watch. This would probably be the best FA signing in about 5 years. I think.
First question I have is since it might be a three year deal, how much will he be making and how much if at all will it affect our FA in 2010 situation.

then again, with those numbers from VC, the Nets don't have Howard needless to say, it'd be great to have Dooling, but I really see him staying with the Magic.

Meanwhile for a "declining" VC who put 21ppg 6rp 5rpg on 1 ankle. Carter is due: 2008 $15.2 million 2009 $16.3 million 2010 $17.3 million 2011 $18 million (Team Option) Id rather have VC and his contract anyday over Lewis and that lucrative deal *These salary #'s came from HoopsHype

Trade Hassell+ KVH for Nocioni sign Dooling for 2 years, and I think we are a better team than last year!! Harris/Dooling/Marcus VC/CDR/Ager Nocioni/Simmons/FA (Hodge?) Yi/Stro/Anderson Boone/Sean/Lopez That's a nice lineup to start the season, and if Lopez proves he is worth starting, we are a playoff team each year while waiting for LeBron, with the entire starting lineup staying intact in 2010 to welcome James.
