Joe Johnson traded to the Nets

[1987_Lakers]

[bagelred]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt

Breaking: Nets "very close" to acquiring Joe Johnson from Hawks for Farmar, Petro, Morrow, Williams, Stevenson and protected pick (Houston).


Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Nets would send Jordan Williams, Petro, Farmar, Morrow and a sign-and-trade of Stevenson for Joe Johnson, sources tell Y!

WOW. This is a major salary dump. They took all the Nets garbage just to get rid of JJ. This is a little shocking.

[All Net]

Johnson, who is still owed $89.3 million over the next three years, was dealt for Anthony Morrow; Jordan Farmar, who will be bought out at Atlanta's expense; Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, a signed-and-traded DeShawn Stevenson and the Rockets 2013 lottery protected first round pick.

That's how bad that contract is.

Nets:
PG: Deron Williams | Jason Kidd
SG: Joe Johnson | Marshon Brooks
SF: Gerald Wallace | Gerald Green
PF: ____________ | ___________

Good news for Net fans. Hopefully Joe can up his game from his "potential"....

Not bad.

Deron is getting the max

I dont think the Nets have enough cap space for Dwight during next summer after signing Deron, Wallace, Lopez and Johnson. What's the point of trading for Joe?

[DuMa]

wow. i cannot believe Hawks actually have a team wanting that contract.

they must be dancing like this right now in their front offices.

I guess that takes them out of the running for Dwight until Dwight becomes a free agent. They don't have anything left to offer Orlando.

Worst contract in history is that of Joe Johnson.

If Nets re-sign D-Will to max and go through with Johnson trade, they'll have approx $50.5M committed to just 3 players for '13-14.

Dwight to the Lakers?

[GoRapz]

Wow...this is the best deal Atlanta can find??? :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

If they find away to get him they will have a big three for a few years.

I saw rumors that they wanted Brooks in the trade. I had got used to that possibility so now the deal without him doesn't look as good.

[J-Futuristic]

I expect Joe Johnson to have an efficient year with the Nets now that he has a real PG, and he doesn't have the pressure of being the #1 guy on him. Still don't know what the hell the Hawks were thinking offering him that big of a contract.

[R.I.P.]

Wow...this is the best deal Atlanta can find??? :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Heavincent]

Not bad. He's way overpaid though. But if Deron resigns we'll at least be somewhat decent.

Salary wise will be impossible. They don't have the assets or contracts.

[bagelred]

I honestly think Hawks and Knicks should have considered an Amare for JJ swap. Or be the nucleus of a deal.

The Nets never had anything worth Dwight Howard. Look at the trash they'll send to Hawks for Johnson. Besides Deron, everyone else is trash and their record in the East shows so. The only possibility of the Nets landing Dwight would have been on a 3-team deal and still, who wants the Nets pieces and or is willing to give up good pieces to appease the Magic getting Net pieces in return - nobody.

If the Magic decide to trade Dwight...Lakers are on top of that list and with leverage. The question with all the drama is, is Dwight worth it after all his comments?

[1987_Lakers]

I just don't see Orlando passing up on Bynum. Orlando was interested in Lopez earlier last season because there were question marks about Bynum, but the way Bynum performed last season without any injury problems should seal the deal on a Bynum-Dwight trade.

they can check Miami with that line up too. They got some big, strong wings to defend Lebron, which, lets face it, was Miami's only unguardable player. Everyone else can be minimized to a certain extent

[Punpun]

Orlando hasn't shown any interest in any trade with the Nets. They are constantly hitting the snooze button. Otis is not there anymore.

Please, Otis was the one saying no to the Nets. Things are different now.

[simcjt]

Lopez, Brooks, future 1st round pick and 10 mill cash to Orlando for Dwight Howard.
Not sure if the cash aspect works out but the rest of that deal makes sense. If another team is needed I guess they could try and rush a package together where Lopez goes to Houston since they are content at going after every big in the market.


Magic get = Brooks + drafted talent from Houston
Nets get = Dwight + Hedo's contract + ???
Rockets get = Lopez

No I did not check if this works but i'm sure its not that far off and talent wise should work for all teams if the Magic want to rebuild the Cavs, Thunder route

Edit: Reasons Magic don't want to is dealing with an eastern opponent. Rockets should have no issues seeing how much they were willing to facilitate the lakers with the cp3 deal

[PleezeBehave]

Please, Otis was the one saying no to the Nets. Things are different now.

Wrong. Otis wanted the Lopez trade, wanted to take it, went to the owners who kicked him in the nuts and removed his decision authority so that every move after that had to be approved by ownership or CEO Alex Martins. They then came to a mutual agreement to part ways.

[R.I.P.]

they can check Miami with that line up too. They got some big, strong wings to defend Lebron, which, lets face it, was Miami's only unguardable player. Everyone else can be minimized to a certain extent

Really? Wallace is staying in front of LeBron? Better defenders than Wallace have failed. You need a mobile rim protector against the Heat and the Nets have Brook Lopez. :roll:

[Punpun]

You are pulling that out of your ass though. Otis up to the very end wanted to keep Dwight and was confident he'd stay.

[Celtic_Pride]

Seriously, I don't think you guys understand how Russians billionaires approach sport. Money isn't a problem when you are as rich as them. And Hard Cap as yet to be put in place.

Ok since you are having trouble understanding how the salary cap works, let me explain this

With Deron, Johnson, Wallace and Lopez signed, Nets cannot sign Dwight outright next summer when he becomes a free agent since they are very close to the salary cap limit!

Now the only way Dwight can be a Net is if Orlando is willing to do a Sign and Trade for Lopez, Brooks and filler in exchange for Dwight. There are reports that Orlando isn't interested in Nets package and are considering Bynum from Lakers or Rockets package to be more valuable.

So the chances of Dwight becoming a Net is very very low right now specially after this Joe Johnson deal

[niko]

Not sure if the cash aspect works out but the rest of that deal makes sense. If another team is needed I guess they could try and rush a package together where Lopez goes to Houston since they are content at going after every big in the market.

So the magic and rockets work a deal specifically to help the nets instead of with each other?

Hopefully this deal spurs Gerald Green to shake loose from Brooklyn now. Would hate to see him get buried on the bench after finally proving he was a real NBA player.

Dolan is worth a billion. Knicks and MSG conglomerate worth much more. We could never do that, why would he?

[No Evans!]

So if the Hawks amnesty Marvin,they can keep Josh Smith via cap hold and have max cap room next summer. Josh Smith and Anthony Morrow are 2 of Dwight's best friends

So the magic and rockets work a deal specifically to help the nets instead of with each other?
Let me know what talent the Rockets have that justified dwight on their own (Either to rebuild or make a playoff run)? Also, this deal has to be set up in a way that has Dwight stay for more than a year.

Please pm if you don't feel like posting but i'd love to hear a better deal than the one i posted dealing with the rockets.

Glad to see Ferry still doing well.

Nike, are you saying the Nets can not S&T for dwight because of the cap? The last 2 pages just seem to be a back and forth of naming calling.

We are not talking about the talent in the trade just that it is legally possible to to lets say acquire D12 tomorrow if they can make the numbers match in a trade.

[Punpun]

Dude, Broussard said the window is closed. Because he thinks like you. Doesn't mean the window is closed for the Nets. They can still sign Dwight. Without breaking the rules by the way. They will go way over the cap but they can still do that.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I am upset beyond words. This acquisition means that the earliest we can get Dwight is December. The Magic are shooing down every offer the Nets are making and I can assure you that we will head into Brooklyn with brook Lopez as our starting center.

I don't know if anyone has told you yet but, this isn't the wild wild west. There are actually, you know, rules, that prohibit teams' front offices, rich or not, from doing whatever the **** they wanna do. Net's owner can't write a $10 Million check to the Magic and say "thanks for Dwight, enjoy Lopez."

Agree on that 100 percent. Mixed. I'd like brooks to get more PT, I think this cockblocks him. But agree with nets, Wallace trade was dumb BUT they did it. They did not have enough to get Howard, Deron said clearly he did not want to wait. So in that sense, that it keeps Deron, how can you argue?

I can't kill the trade, I get it, and I agree Nets should be in top few teams in East.

Btw, Deron is staying. BUT for that tiny pct, if he does not he is the biggest dick of all to me. But he staying.....

@Black, All that post you quoted said is that the Nets can still sign Dwight. Can. Not Will. It's pretty embarassing when a foreigner is schooling you guys on the use of verbs. As long as there still is a possibility of Dwight signing, I can use "can".

[Kingwillball]

Doubr it can even happen how about Dealing JJ and Sign and Trade Lopez plus #1 for D12.. Nets than Sign Scola as FA

Nets new Starting Lineup, Dwill,Brooks,Wallace, Scola, D12

[It's A VC3!!!]

To clear it up for everyone- the nets can s&t for Dwight but it cannot include brook Lopez until decemer. Nonetheless brook lopez will be the nets center for the start of the 2012-2013 NBA season.

The rules don't allow a team to go over the cap to sign a player. If the Nets do this deal the only option to get Dwight to Brooklyn would be to trade for him, unless you believe Dwight's signing for $5 mil a year.

[MisterAmazing]

Worst contract in history is that of Joe Johnson.

To clear it up for everyone- the nets can s&t for Dwight but it cannot include brook Lopez until decemer. Nonetheless brook lopez will be the nets center for the start of the 2012-2013 NBA season.


So Dwight should sit tight til December and nets can Send Lopez ,Wallace and future #1 in Dec for D12. Which serves him right for signing that extension in first place.

[It's A VC3!!!]

How in hell do they pay for that though? How can you pay for Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace Joe Johnson and Dwight Howard unless Howard takes a major major pay cut?
Lopez will earn atleast 10-12 million. Howard will earn a few million more. The disparity is small enough that the nets can pay it off. The numbers were already done an hour ago on a netsdaily forum post and I I wasn't on my iPad I would link them to you.

Now, an even bigger question. Since Wallace has not officially signed his offer what exactly changes if they part ways on the deal in an attempt to now get a blindsided Dwight?

[StateOfMind12]

Could Dwight Howard still be a Net if Deron Williams signs somewhere else (Dallas)?

I'm really not sure if Dwight only wants to play in Brooklyn because of Deron or if he wants to play in Brooklyn because he is just interested in that city so I'm kind of curious if he could still be a Net in this case.

[hawkfan]

WOW. This is a major salary dump. They took all the Nets garbage just to get rid of JJ. This is a little shocking.

Morrow and a first round pick and Stevenson.

Some team should offer Lopez a max deal.
The Hawks could, now with the cap space we have (and could get more if we trade Marvin Williams to the Cavs).

[R.I.P.]

So going to the always fierce west to deal with the Thunder for 2 years and hope 1) Dirk stays healthy and 2) Someone worth a max contract wants to be in Dallas is a better deal?

Orlando does not want Lopez, Howard will be traded soon, he will decide he is much more flexible with no leverage. Dwight will NOT be a Net. Can he? Yes, but why does any of those scenarios make sense?

If the Nets do get Howard, then as a third option, JJ would be an excellent fit.

Max money a team can send in a trade is 3mil per year

(i.e. Lakers sent 500K to Dallas for Johnson-Odom's rights, they can only send 2.5Mil the balance of the year)
The Mavericks have 3 million to spend. The draft is the last day that money from 2011-12 season can be used. The money available goes back up to 3 million after draft night as it is the beginning of the next season.

That's where you're mistaken, they still can. I'm not even the only one saying it if you doubt what I write. You are just confused about what my "Prokhorov doesn't care about spending a ****loads" entailed.

Whatever dude. Keep trolling. You got five more posts out of me than the usual troll. Chalk it up on your screen as a win. :cheers:

That trade got a lil bit sweeter for the Nets if Woj is right. And he surely is.

[OG LeeTSkeeT]

Can D-Will walk then the Nets somehow trade for Dwight?

We will agree to disagree then. To each his own.

And now they traded Marvin Williams to Utah. The East is quickly becoming a joke.

For what?

The Nets had to do what they had to do and that was to get Joe Johnson. If the Nets had enough assets, Dwight would of been a Net a while ago. Dwight gave up his rights to become a free agent and be a Net in March. If he really wanted to hit the free agency market he would of screwed the Lakers over for 3 months and today he would already be a Brooklyn Net.

The Nets can still do a sign and trade but Brook Lopez can't be included. But if the Magic wait into December to trade Dwight he probably can still become a Net. As for right now, Dwight will not be able to go to Brooklyn and he could be traded by next week.

I still believe the Nets will have a good team, they just wont have Dwight. The Nets also play in the east so that's a huge plus. If I was the Nets GM right now I would be looking for some good role players to pair with Deron and Joe Johnson.

For picks I assume? These Hawks are so going to make a run at some big players, probably Dwight and be better than the Nets. Hey maybe they
