The Nets will move on with alternative plans if Dwight Howard isn't dealt by the end of the week, according to a source.

“It won’t go past this week,” said the source.

The primary alternative would likely be Nene, who shares an agent with Howard.

The Nets could also look to retaining Kris Humphries.

While the Nets will move on in the short-term, they will not abandon their pursuit of Howard.
