Best fit for Joe Johnson?






What the Joe Johnson buyout means for Boston

The Brooklyn Nets have officially reached a buyout with forward Joe Johnson, and the Boston Celtics are one of seven playoff teams in pursuit, sources told ESPN.com.

Regardless of where Johnson lands, the fact he's departing the Nets could be a boon for Boston, which is set to receive Brooklyn's unprotected first-round pick in this year's draft.

The Nets (15-42) currently own the fourth-worst record in the NBA, and though the 34-year-old Johnson -- a seven-time All-Star -- isn't the offensive force he once was, he's still an impactful player with a penchant for the big shot (earlier this month, his banked buzzer-beater helped the Nets top the Nuggets). Brooklyn loses a starter averaging 11.8 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds over 33.9 minutes per game in 57 appearances this season.

Johnson owns a Nets-best offensive rating of 102.4. That's offset by a defensive rating of 106.8, but Johnson's differential of minus-4.4 is actually the second-best mark on the team among regulars (behind only Donald Sloan at minus-4.0).

The Celtics can hope Johnson's absence only makes it more difficult for Brooklyn to win games, especially with the Phoenix Suns -- losers of 12 straight -- plummeting toward the basement of the lottery standings (where the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers have set up shop).

Maybe the more intriguing angle here: With an open roster spot and a need for some wing depth, could the Celtics be a possible landing spot for Johnson? Of the playoff teams reported to be interested, only the Celtics and Hawks have the ability to spend beyond a minimum salary (Boston has the $2.8 million room exception at its disposal). That gives Boston a possible edge over tax-paying teams like Houston, Oklahoma City and Miami, and teams with only the minimum available like Toronto and Cleveland.

It might come down to whether Johnson, with $174 million in career earnings, might be more enticed by a surefire title contender than trying to help elevate a more fledgling contender. It would surely make an endearing storyline for Boston to bring home a player it drafted 10th overall in 2001. Incidentally, Atlanta, another of his former squads, also has money available to entice him.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said if Boston did elect to target a 15th player to fill out its roster this season, the Celtics would seek shooting and versatility, something the 6-foot-7 Johnson clearly adds. Boston could easily integrate Johnson into a versatile second unit. Evan Turner is the backup wing behind starter Jae Crowder, but Turner plays a bit of a hybrid role as a ball-handler with the second unit. Especially with floor-stretching big man Kelly Olynyk out for the next three weeks because of a shoulder injury, Johnson could easily find minutes as a big in small-ball lineups that would pair him up front with the likes of Jonas Jerebko.
 
they should've just made a trade. who cares what you get for dwight because there's no way he's staying at the end of the season.
this team just plays like nobody likes each other and they just going through the motions.

They pulled this game out but I agree

Dwight is gone

Maybe they can work out a sign and trade this summer so they won't lose him nothing

yup they did. let's see if it's a turning point. they got talent from top to bottom on the roster that should work together. they should be a good team defensively and a great team offensively and they just don't do it.
they got a good bench and everything
 
Man I know my Sixers ain't shit but at least we have something to look forward too. Fuckin Nets are waaaaaaaayyyy worse off. :smh:

We're playing better and have young talent and a coach who likes to run. We're not as bad the media portrays us. We'll get a solid backcourt in the off season and figure out of coaching situation and be back in playoff contention next season

Not having a draft pick really hurts though.

So you subscribe to fouling a shooter especially beyond the 3pt line? That's a one way ticket to the bench
I agree

I got Floor level seats to the Golden State vs Hawks game and Curry up close was amasing. What the TV does not show is how fast Curry gets into his shooting motion. Hard to foul him with how fast he releases the ball.

You really can't foul 35 feet away from the basket, especially trying to touch him up. That would be an easy call and ejection. A hard foul driving to the hoop can be hidden some what. Can't hide a hard foul on the perimeter. Also why would people want to keep Curry out the lane? I rather him shoot 2's than rain 3's
 
He could easily start over Deng but coming off the pine wit Winslow JJ guaranteed minutes

He can start over Dragic

JJ
Wade
Deng
Whiteside
Winslow

Or

C. Johnson
Wade
JJ
Deng
Whiteside
Remember Deng is not playing Small Foward anymor and Plays the 4 now and is playimg Bosh position. Surprisingly, Deng is a monster at the 4 position and with Deng playing the 4 position since Bosh has been out he has averaged 25pt and 12 rebounds.

J Johnson would start over Winslow and then Winslow would probably come in for Wade whIle Green comes in as the firSt 3 off the bench. I think we probably keep whiteside on the bench as he has been feasting coming of the bench. Might as well keep riding that wave.

BeatDown I just don't see him fitting in with the Cavs. He will not only have to come off the bench but be restricted to a catch and shoot player. For him to get any minutes will require Lebron to play the 4 and bang for boards. Is Lebron willing to do that? With him going to the 4 means either love sits or he gets abused defensively trying to protect the rim.
 
nutha day nutha bad defensive game for okc. i watch their games i dont even get mad anymore lol. just watch them knowing every game gonna be a tight good game tho.they about to come out of te all star break losing 4 out of 5.know golden state gonna get in they ass tomorrow night. dam.... rockets won lol. at least the clippers and rockets keep me laughig

Hopefully Riley can pull this off and pick up JJ.. Getting him will guarantee the Heat the 3rd spot in the east
 
Nigga please.

Thank you.

These niggas talking bout "young talent"....I had to go look at their roster. The bul Rondae Hollis will be OK, Bogdanovic is a role player...who else?

And no draft pick this season, what free agent is banging the door to play with Brook Lopez when the league is moving to small ball?

Playoffs next season? LMAO!!! yeah ok
