Nets/Hawks discussing possible Johnson deal

[Elite]

I still can't fathom why Dwight waived his opt-out clause. Who cares if you spend two months in Houston? After two months you could go where ever your heart desires.

Take anything Broussard says with several grains of salt.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Something about big money from Adidas he wouldn't have gotten, not sure how true that is.

I'd be surprised if it there was just one reason he waived it though.

[jonathanlambert33]

Oh, and the obligatory "lol at Billy King."

Gerald Wallace for 40 million.

and Joe Johnson for 90 million.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I forgot all about the CAP hold. good call on that, cheato.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

and by year three theyll be paying like $80M in fines.

Probably even more than that.

 

[lonesomefx]

Melo vs JJ four times a year? #Shootout?

 

[bosoxlover12]

wait I just thought of something.


Lets say Deron tomorrow re-signs in Brooklyn.
Lets say the Magic, on purpose, offers Brook Lopez a max. Couldnt then, if the Nets matched, trade him and Brooks for D12??

 

[Elite]

No, because the Magic aren't going to pay Brook max money...

 

[Hurricane Season]

Why would they do that though? The Magic would then be stuck with a center that can't rebound on a max deal.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I'm just trying to think of possibilites that can land the four together. Obv it wont happen

 

[Pugz]

you have to have cap to offer someone a contract other than the mle's too..

Can't trade for a player you put a offer sheet out too.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

If the nets could bring in both Howard and Johnson for the first year in Brooklyn that would be huge

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Howard for Lopez, Humphries, Brooks, and 3 firsts is being discussed
