Joe Johnson Trade To Brooklyn Nets Completed

[X-Man26]

Man if this happens...

I dont care about revealing people, Sekou Smith of NBATV said he was told this by Harold Ellis who is a consulting scout with the Hawks. They are trying to go for it. i'm a Bulls fan but I will get season tickets if the Hawks get CP3 and D12!

 

[MadWun]

Killa!!! Congrats my dude!!! Y'all took Joe Johnson off the hawks hands.

I know the whole city of ATL is like...

 

[c_commander]

I guess sometimes you have to take a step-back to move forward. Hawks will miss the playoffs this year, but frees up cap space. Not sure what we will possibly do with freed up cap space though. Maybe Ferry flips some assets for Howard while keeping Josh Smith and Horford? We traded one very expensive, but bland piece of steak for a bunch of McDonald's patties.

How in the world could Ferry acquire Dwight Howard and keep both Josh Smith and Al Horford in the process? Those are the only valuable trade assets that the Hawks have.

 

[X-Man26]

Killa didnt even make it to the car, he crying in his employer's hallway!

 

[woodchuck]

Marvin to Utah for devin Harris....ferry blowing up the team!

Marvin should've been drafted to begin with!

Josh Smith is not in the future plans and is actively being shopped as of right now. If they can move Josh before July 11 they are going to make an offer for Brandon Roy or OJ Mayo.

Watch joe Johnson play all world with the nets

What you say makes sense.... however, Dwight and Josh are friends. Personally, I'd rather see Horford moved. I think I'd like the chemistry of CP3, Josh, and D12. Keeping Horford at PF makes more sense though.

I agree, I am just telling you what I heard from Sekou.

Josh don't want to be here.

Wait I will say this the nets (if dwill resigns which everyone is saying likely) are officially in the luxury tax BECAUSE OF JOE FUCKING JOHNSON

NOT DWIGHT NOT DWILL NOT EVEN BROOK LOPEZ BUT JOE I GOT 89 MILLION LEFT ON MY CONTRACT.

The fuck???? Brooks makes 1.5 million and average 14 in his first year. They don't expect him to get better

Don't get me wrong dwill stays this is a playoff team but come on

@large.

@cc

You guys see what I was talking about when I said the nets should let dwill go to dallas

Not to be an ass, but bravo:

Although, I can't believe the Hawks didn't get Brooks in the deal, but I guess they were so desperate to get rid of JJ, I guess it doesn't matter that they will suck next year...

So now, Hawks lineup will be:

Harris/Teague
Crap Player A
Josh Smith
Al Horford
Crap Player B

This was all about cap space and salaries. Hell, given the East, we'll still make the playoffs.

 

[BDR]

Killa proky trying to make his money back lol

Nets get 8th seed it's a success for the nets

 

[mr_mantel_216]

I thought this deal was contingent on DWill re-signing with the Nets Is BGOL that ahead of the news media?

 

[Spectrum]

Not to be an ass, but bravo:

one of my homies in the ATL just sent me an email saying he going out tonight to celebrate

 

[monsterman]

Maybe the Bulls should make a move for Horford.

 

[Profit]

Josh don't want to be here.

He would if Dwight were there. Josh mad because he outshines Joe on many nights and gets no love from the organization. He felt they didn't push him during Allstar voting. And he's right.

I get that Smith is on the trade block. The person I responded to was talking about Ferry being able to acquire Dwight by trade while keeping both Josh Smith and Al Horford which would be impossible. Maybe if they can get him to come as a free agent and get Josh to agree to stay to play with his buddy but other than it won't happen.

 

[LurkMode]

I heard from a really reliable source that the Hawks are trying to move Josh Smith before February to pursue CP3 and D12 prior next summer now that Brooklyn cannot get D12.

Why would the Clips trade CP3 and how would Josh and Blake play together without a good point guard

 

[LurkMode]

How in the world could Ferry acquire Dwight Howard and keep both Josh Smith and Al Horford in the process? Those are the only valuable trade assets that the Hawks have.

Given the things that have transpired, all those contracts they got from NJ + Teague or Harris + draft picks? The Magic have to take 50 cents on the dollar for D12 now. But for real...it'd be difficult...maybe it's just wishful thinking

 

[Complex]

Are they amnestying Joe Johnson

31 years old and over 80 mil

 

[Mask]

Shit Joe as your first option at bad when you have Deron(who I think is the bat PG in the league) and Gerald.
If Lopez plays at 85% along with Kris at the PF slot, would be a nice starting five, with Green(hope he lands in Miami)Brooks and who ever else fills out the roster.

The battle of NY will be interesting now.

 

[DingoMan]

Watch Joe Fuck ass get there and ball like his life depended on it

sent from your girls crib

Same shit I was thinking...smh...

 

[killa kadafi191]

Deron Williams decision coming soon

 

[A to Dah K]

makes them better than the bricks

 

[gtg305h]

Josh Smith is ATL's best player, and he's not in the future plans?

Danny Ferry is an idiot, a shit player and a shit GM...

 

[A to Dah K]

Ferry already Executive of the Year with these moves. He's been at the job for about a week and already moved 2 of the Hawks biggest contracts. Always wondered why these black players never wanted to go to Atlanta in free agency especially Dwight since its his home town. Ferry just opened up cap room for 2 max players next off season...

but you not even going to get 1 max player

 

[Nobody]

Yeah, and bitch up @ crunch time!

As long as deron Williams is on the court, he can do that all day.

 

[A to Dah K]

the crazy thing is dwight could've went to okc for ibaka and harden but he was so in lust with the nets dat he ended up fucking up dat trade now nets look like they don't even want him now

if i was OKC i wouldnt had made that trade

 

[killa kadafi191]

Okay I am home now. I was listening to ESPN Radio on the way home

couple points.

1. Dwight is pissed off. He is very pissed off. Still doesn't want to take responsibility for his actions.

2. The Atlanta Hawks will buy out Farmer for 1.5 million and he will resign with the Lakers.

3. The Hawks have shed huge contracts and made their team players in this summer free agency when Dwight and CP3 are free agents.

4. BUT!!!! They need an owner. Which shouldn't be a problem now because the last guy who bought the team back out because he didn't like the payroll of the team.

5. Proky quoted as to have no problem with the Nets being a cap team saying I quote "I made 40 million in a week last month."

6. Dwight has place Dallas on the top of his teams to get traded to but Orlando was unwilling to deal with the Nets they will not deal with the Mavs.

7. The Nets were able to keep Brooks Green and still sign and trade Hump or resign him.

8. Strange thing is no one has made an offer to Brook Lopez. Many think that the Nets have him locked up in a room to avoid overpaying him

9.Deron decision is likely coming tonight
