Knicks · Brooklyn and Atlanta talking Joe Johnson (page 1)

KNICKSBIGCATS @ 6/30/2012 9:56 PM
Per Wojo:
"Both Hawks and Nets are engaged in talks on several fronts. No deal close on Johnson, but sides have gone back and forth on possibility."

As Stefan Bondy notes, Billy King and new Hawks G.M. Danny Ferry were college teammates at Duke and have a close relationship. We’ve seen King use close relationships to facilitate other trades, most notably his relationship with Jazz G.M. Kevin O’Connor in the Deron Williams deal.

I'm thinking any deal will start with Anthony Morrow and Marshon Brooks
and maybe include this year's draft choices and/or picks.

Actually would be an interesting trade. I like STAT and all but while he may not be considered an "injury prone" player (as opposed to a walking injury risk), I am tired of dealing with him because he seems to be that guy that crap just happens too.

If Atlanta trades Joe Johnson I doubt they make it to the playoffs. Plus I see them throwing Marvin into the deal as well.

Nets have almost agreed on a contract with Gerald Wallace, 4 years $40mil. Good to see that new cba's working!

Do they have the cap space to absorb JJ's contract if they sign Wallace?

I believe the Nets only have 13 mil in committed salary even with Farmar reupping.

Smakeddog, what did you mean by the new CBA "working"?

10 million per year for Gerald Wallace is a bad deal, no?

It is a bad deal- I was being sarcastic- Wallace is about to start declining I think, and $40 mil is too much. When you look at some of the deals out there already being rumoured to be offered (max contract for Hibbert?!), and it just shows that no matter what cba you have, dumb gm's will always triumph.

Just saw this Joe Johnson to NJ deal could get done today. Don't know how this affects Humphries standing but right now their starting 5 cold be:

C-Lopez
PF-?
SF-Wallace
SG-Johnson
PG-Deron

Don't know how they'd fill out the roster be ause guys like Morrow would be gone, but that has the makings of a pretty good squad.

Pretty mediocre

Really? You think? Not a really good defensive squad, but theyll score and have one of the best PGs in the game to lead them. I think they'd be a top 6 seed.

Crap defensive team but that's a decent sqaud. That's a playoff team in the East.

Nets to send farmar,jwil,petro, morrow and a pick
CrushAlot @ 7/1/2012 12:49 PM
If nets move farmar does Kidd sign there?

yeah, kidd is pretty much gonna follow deron.

so nets lineup will probably mostly be:

Deron
Kidd
Joe Johnson
Gerald Wallace
Brook

which isn't bad. no depth though and some old players in that mix.

Nets still marshawn. I wonder if they bring back sheldon

Nets will have some Euros with need for Vowels.
RonRon @ 7/1/2012 1:22 PM
this is crazy Joe Johnson at his contract, and age would eventually be just as bad of a contract as Amare's.
If they are willing to trade for Joe Johnson, a max deal for Harden will be better to put OKC to the test.
KNICKSBIGCATS @ 7/1/2012 1:23 PM
Atlanta is looking to retool and moving Josh Smith (to LAL for Gasol?)
and JJ would leave them with Horford and Teague as a nucleus to build around.
Personally, I like what they're doing....Smith has been unhappy in ATL for
a while and Gasol would benefit from a fresh start.
