    Joe Johnson isn't crap, he's a terrific shooter. He's just overpaid, his contract is the only problem when trying to use him as a trade asset. Net's have zero leverage due to this fact.

    He's not crap... But he is inconsistent and isn't a good fit next to Deron

    Trade Garnett to Minnesota so he could retire there

    Detroit could send out Jennings, Jerebko and Anthony to the Nets for Williams.
    Nets get cap space next year.
    Pistons get an upgrade at point guard.

    Nets keep him because he's expiring this year. If anything, he signs 1 day contract with Minnesota and the calls it a career.

    The Nets can send Garnett to the Hawks. We have some expirers to send back in return, and we have 4-5 million in available cap space.

    joe johnson is like josh smith: both overpaid, but both pretty solid in a good system and well coached team.

    problem is just: both arent franchise players, but they are getting money of a franchise player. who knows why

    I'm guessing Nets are interested in staying relevant and not doing this to rebuild/cap space

    So any team with bunch of young assets that wants to take next step. Basically New Orleans, or Bucks.

    Knight, Ilyasova for Deron

    I'd like Portland to pick up Joe Johnson as a 6th man type player. He can back up Wesley Matthews.

    Id love to see the Cavs get KG somehow for this season. Being on a team like this, this late in his career, he would love it. We strongly need a vet like him. He wouldn't need to play many minutes either. He can still run the floor

    Couple of things. The Knicks aren't in this, we aren't killing our cap space for old players. That's just incredibly dumb. Second, JJ's contract is MASSIVE. If it were a little smaller it would be easier to move but it's $23M. And Lopez contract is uninsured which is an issue for a lot of teams. (See Amare...)

    Finally no one is sending the Nets a bunch of expirers, young players and picks. They'll send big long crappy contracts maybe. Which makes me think at the end of the day it's probably not happening.

    That's a 20 million dollar 6th man.
