Nets/Hawks discussing possible Johnson deal

[$tunna]

They need to just give us Marshon

 

[Pugz]

healthy. they wouldnt have gotten that? alright then.

 

[bosoxlover12]

it's aight guys, $tunna is a Hawks fan. He isn't used to the concept of good defense, which is why Jeff Green is important

 

[RipCity32]

Deal could happen within the next 48 hours.

 

[Pugz]

i hope it does. they'll only have three or four people under contract, right? that's gonna suck though lol

 

[Pugz]

The Nets and Hawks are closing in on a deal involving Joe Johnson.

Brooklyn will acquire Johnson for Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, a re-signed Deshawn Stevenson and Houston's 2013 protected first round pick.

correct me if im wrong but this pretty much puts them out on dwight, right? assuming they do this and then sign deron williams, the cap would be pretty much gone? same goes for next season. unless they s&t brook for dwight? lol

 

[Mexi]

im trying to figure out the dwight stuff too pugz
i think they're out it now

good job Atlanta getting rid of him. who cares what you get back. and did ferry prove that lol

 

[elcheato]

Dwight is gonna retire now.

 

[Pugz]

the nets starting five isnt bad though(assuming this goes through) deron/jj/crash/hump/brook. what do they have on the bench though, marshon? yikes

 

[Mexi]

Kidd and MarShon off the bench...

 

[Mexi]

90M left on the last 4 years of Joe's deal

Wallace = $10M
Deron = $20M? (ballparking it)
JJ = $20M

you got approx $50M between those three guys, and nothing but Brooks and Lopez around 'em.

 

[Pugz]

im reading this is pretty much done. im assuming this is for sure putting them out on dwight, for now anyways. the nets still have gerald green too. still not much of a bench. and hump is actually a UFA.

The Nets were out once Dwight did what he did back in March.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Maybe they're flipping JJ to Orlando? lmao. not being serious, obviously.

 

[elcheato]

Dwight's from Atlanta, they gonna have cap space

 

[Pugz]

they still have to re-sign hump, and gerald. brook is an RFA so im sure hes going to get an offer but with asik and hibbert getting huge deals id expect someone to just fuck with the nets and offer him a max deal. ouch

Maybe this has convinced Deron to stay and he just won't sign his contract officially until later so they can preserve cap space, trade for Dwight, then use the bird rights they have on D-Will to go over the cap and sign him?

Idk, doesn't seem likely

they would end up being so far in the lux tax its crazy.

deron - max
dwight - max
jj - max
gforce - $40M

thatd be crazy

 

[Giantmetfan07]

that's actually the only thing I thought would work ^

make both trades, then resign Deron to go over the CAP.
