The much-rumored four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets will not be finalized on Monday night. The deal is incredibly complex with the Magic, Nets, Cavaliers, and Clippers the rumored teams involved. But GM Rob Hennigan is fielding calls from other third and fourth teams that could help facilitate a deal. With as many as 14 players involved, the deal, which picked up steam on Sunday night, will not be completed on Monday. Via Ric Bucher of ESPN:

One potential hang-up may be Brooklyn's Kris Humphries and his demands around a proposed contract in a sign-and-trade that would send him to Cleveland. Humphries, an unrestricted free agent, is looking for more than one year of guaranteed money.
