Joe Johnson Trade To Brooklyn Nets Completed

[Amajorfucup]

Wait, so a team of D-Will, JJ, Gerald Wallace and Brook Lopez is going to shit on the Knicks??

Yes. Dont be confused. They will shit on your atrocious knicks team. I swear there is nothing like the delusion of a knicks fan. You have won one fucking playoff game since the internet went viral. You have Jeremy fucking Lin running the point and a ballstop named Melo running a shit offense. Your best team player and on ball defender is coming back from an exploded knee. DWill will absolutely destroy that trash squad given a starting five of he, jj, wallace, hump and brook with Marshon and Green coming off the bench....And lets not talk about if they do trade for the bitch nigga in orlando...

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Weakest big 3

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Lets be honest. They wernt winning a championship either way. That lineup will keep the fans happy, compete nightly, and advance in a trash conference...Oh, and they will hammer the in state knicks early and often. Thats a major win for that organization.


See you in 2014.

Reports: Hawks send Johnson to Nets, Williams to Jazz

Posted Jul 2 2012 7:41PM - Updated Jul 3 2012 1:52AM

The Hawks have agreed to deal All-Star guard Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets for five players and a draft pick, and Atlanta will send forward Marvin Williams to the Utah Jazz for guard Devin Harris.

A person familiar with the Hawks-Nets deal told The Associated Press on Monday night that Atlanta will receive guards Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar and DeShawn Stevenson and forwards Jordan Williams and Johan Petro, along with a draft pick Brooklyn received from Houston in a prior deal. The selection only belongs to the Nets if it is not a lottery pick.

The person confirmed the trade on condition of anonymity because it cannot become official until Stevenson signs as a free agent with Brooklyn. Free agents cannot be signed until July 11.

Johnson has four years and $90 million left on his contract and new general manager Danny Ferry decided it was time to shed payroll and rebuild.

The 31-year-old Johnson averaged 18.8 points per game last season, his 11th in the NBA and seventh with Atlanta.

The Nets are hoping to team Johnson with free agent point guard Deron Williams, whom they are working to re-sign, in the franchise's first season in New York City after decades in New Jersey.

Utah CEO Greg Miller acknowledged the deal for former first-round pick Marvin Williams while picking up guard Mo Williams at Salt Lake City International Airport in preparation for Tuesday's introductory news conference.

The Jazz acquired Mo Williams in a multi-team deal last week that also sent Lamar Odom to the Clippers.

Miller said it was difficult to part with Harris but he was excited by what Mo Williams brings to the team.

Mo Williams said it felt good to be back where he started his career in 2003 and he had always hoped to start for his first team.

The Harris-Marvin Williams deal now clears the way for that to happen.

"It's always unfortunate when we have to let a player go because all of our players work so hard and they're so invested in helping us win." Miller said. "And it's got to be a tough thing for them. I know it is for us. I wish Devin the best in his career."

Mo Williams, dressed in a red T-shirt, black shorts and a New Orleans Saints cap, arrived in Salt Lake City about 8:30 p.m. MDT.

He only has one year left on his current deal but expressed hope that he could be in Utah long term.

"I'm very excited about a new start for me and a second homecoming," Williams said Monday night.

Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor has called letting Mo Williams leave after just one season "the worst: mistake of his career.

"I know he says that a lot, but at the same time I was a young basketball player at the time," Mo Williams said. "Obviously he made a decision he thought was best for the organization. I never had a bad taste in my mouth about the organization. I always respected them because they gave me a shot.

"I watched 30 teams pass me in the first round. I always had a part of my heart for the Jazz and I'm glad I'm able to come back and prove my worth to them."

Harris arrived in Utah in 2011 as part of a blockbuster deal that sent Deron Williams to New Jersey.

But Harris struggled to find his niche with the Jazz, and while he stepped up his game late last season, he still has a career 31.5 percent shooting percentage from beyond the arc.

Harris, 29, is scheduled to make $8.5 million in 2012-13, the final year of his current contract.

Marvin Williams, 29, has averaged 11.5 points for Atlanta in his seven-year career, including 10.2 and 5.2 rebounds last season.

Mo Williams was an All-Star as recently as 2009, and was part of a Cleveland team that won 66 games with LeBron James and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2009. He joined the Los Angeles Clippers in 2011.

"I think it's going to be great for us to have Mo here," Miller said. "Obviously he competed at the highest level. He knows what it takes to win. . I think he's going to help us win games."

Asked if there were more moves to come for the small-market Jazz, Miller said, "I hope so."


the hawks took a l IMO for receing petro, deshauwn stevenson, and farmar at the end of the day

Yes. Dont be confused. They will shit on your atrocious knicks team. I swear there is nothing like the delusion of a knicks fan. You have won one fucking playoff game since the internet went viral. You have Jeremy fucking Lin running the point and a ballstop named Melo running a shit offense. Your best team player and on ball defender is coming back from an exploded knee. DWill will absolutely destroy that trash squad given a starting five of he, jj, wallace, hump and brook with Marshon and Green coming off the bench....And lets not talk about if they do trade for the bitch nigga in orlando...

So let me see: a Nets team with Dwill, Morrow, Crash, Hump, Lopez, Brooks won, what less than 20 games?

Oh ok, Lopez was hurt and Crash didn't show up until deadline. Cool.

So by adding Joe Johnson, that makes that shit sandwich any more palatable? The starting line up changes by ONE player, and that player who everyone is proclaiming the worst contract in THE NBA makes the Nets a better team than the Knicks??

Oh, the Same Knicks that have the DPOY, a 1st Team NBA Rookie, and had no semblance of respectable point guard play for 2/3 of the season? With one of the deepest benches in the game? And still managed to make the playoffs? And oh yeah will retain most players and are trying to make a play for Steve Nash and veteran big men like Marcus Camby and KMart.

Yeah, that's delusional to think the Knicks team wontl get smashed by 31 year old Joe Johnson and the mighty mighty Nets.

See you at Verizon center aka MSG South when we come through and administer the Wizards yearly proctology exam.

Dude, Joe Johnson has 90million LEFT on what is without a doubt the worst contract in the league now that Rashad Lewis is off the books. ANY deal removing that albatross from the neck of the Hawks organization is a GREAT deal.

 

[dtownsfinest]

This shit is stupid to me simply because what are draft picks worth when you trading Dwight and making the Nets a contender? Those are late 1st round picks. Why not take 1 or 2 of a bad teams first round picks who just want to rent Dwight? There is no reason for the Magic to rush a deal right now for dude.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Its a bad contract but at the same time its for only 3 years and you could amnesty dude. I guess Atlanta saves its "amnesty" but its clear Hawks don't give a fuck. They aren't a basketball city and I don't even know how they profit or if they even do. Their fans suck.

Can't amnesty a traded player. Nets got that albatross until his last season.

Trust we all went through this when the idea of trading Amare for JJ was discussed.

Fam, Knicks is trash. That's no hate that's just reality. Phil Jackson didn't want to catch ya'll. He peeped game. Ya'll got some okay personnel but your team is just full of players. None of them compliment each other at all. None of them play their natural position. Its just a mess. Atleast the Nets have positions in place. Nets are in a far bigger mess and they can't do shit about it. They will never be better than the Heat or Bulls and they will always be playing for 2nd or 3rd place unless they hit on these draft picks and get a gem but shit even then ya'll don't even like to keep picks.

The Hawks fans show up to root for the opposing team, the Lakers come down there to play and you'll see fucking Kobe jerseys everywhere, but Atlanta really isn't a sports city anyway.

Naw i'm talking about the Hawks. I was saying it was a bad contract but the Hawks could've amnestied dude rather than take back bullshit for him. They took some bullshit for dude. But the only thing I can think of is that they want to amnesty someone else but I can't imagine who that would be.

 

[dtownsfinest]

I never understood that shit. They make the playoffs. Its not like they perennial losers. But I guess it has something to do with how most of them cats in the A all moved to the A as adults and none originate there. I guess that's where it hurts their basketball team but damn it seems their team has the worst fans easily by far.

 

[Brother Blues]

Yes. Dont be confused. They will shit on your atrocious knicks team. I swear there is nothing like the delusion of a knicks fan. You have won one fucking playoff game since the internet went viral.

Nicks stay losing...now the Nets will be the team in NY.

How's that Melo trade working out

It took the Nets a month to take over the city.

And the ironic shit is that the Knicks have sucked for so long and have been a mess financially and they finally get it. Finally make a NBA team the right way. Building a team from draft picks and youth and they fuck it all up by signing Amare and trading for Melo. Gave nearly 200 million to two of the worst defenders in the league.

We got all five positions locked down. Lin, Shump, Melo, Amar'e, Chandler. Only problem is spacing with Melo-Amare-Chandler. I agree that makes us clumsy but I fail to see how the Nets are in a better place with their guys.

They are improved for sure, if they get Dwight they look monstrous. However as it stands it's a wash between the two.

Knicks won 75% of games under Woodson against quality opponents so I don't see how were trash.

Not elite, stuck in that 2nd tier I agree, but far from trash. Moves need to be made.

 

[Amajorfucup]

So let me see: a Nets team with Dwill, Morrow, Crash, Hump, Lopez, Brooks won, what less than 20 games?

Wtf are you talking about bro? The current projected starting lineup has THREE different starters (lopez, johnson, wallace) from the team that started the season last year. Thats an entirely different team that you put with a top 3 point guard.

So by adding Joe Johnson, that makes that shit sandwich any more palatable? The starting line up changes by ONE player, and that player who everyone is proclaiming the worst contract in THE NBA makes the Nets a better team than the Knicks??

No son, that THREE different starters. 60% if you want a numerical visual. Pairing JJ with a true great point and allowing him to now be the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team is a much better fit for his strengths. And who gives a fuck about his deal as it pertains to THIS discussion about trashing the fucking snicks?

Oh, the Same Knicks that have the DPOY, a 1st Team NBA Rookie, and had no semblance of respectable point guard play for 2/3 of the season? With one of the deepest benches in the game? And still managed to make the playoffs? And oh yeah will retain most players and are trying to make a play for Steve Nash and veteran big men like Marcus Camby and KMart.

We're hyping first team all rookies now (one with a shattered acl and meniscus at that)? Only a snicks fan would say some silly shit like this out of their mouth and be deadass serious. You sound absurd. And again, i am talking about projected lineups of today, not about your christmas list of 40year old savior Steve Nash, Camby (who absolutely will not go to NY) and worthless ass Kenyon Martin.

See you at Verizon center aka MSG South when we come through and administer the Wizards yearly proctology exam.

Now we're hyping beating a wizards team (which has won a title more recenty than your beloved overrated shit franchise btw) as if half the entire league doesnt own that arena when they come there? Snicks fans....

Not elite, stuck in that 2nd tier I agree, but far from trash. Moves need to be made.

What did they do in the post season when they faced a quality opponent though? And you just can't sell me on Lin and Shump. Not right now. Lin was a nice story no doubt but he's not a legit starting point guard in this league. Not having more turnovers than assists. Amare seems to be on the decline and Melo is Melo. One of the best 3's in the league who can't play a lick of defense. Same goes for Amare. I see the names in Melo, Chandler and Amare but I don't see how they compliment each other and I said that when ya'll traded for Melo.

 

[LegalMoney]

Man miss me with all that fam! Talking about Joe Johnson being reborn as a 3rd option being paid Top 5 money? And his contract does affect their ability to put a product on the floor to beat the Knicks or any team. They will be capped out once they sign Lopez and can't get Kidd. Their bench will be anemic.

But let's go projected lineups for November: Lin, JR, Melo, Amar'e, Chandler vs. D-Will, JJ, Crash, Hump, Lopez. Clear advantages to D-Will and Carmelo, slight advantages to JJ and Amar'e, Chandler shuts down Dwight Howard, he isn't letting Brook Lopez go off. Benches actually are close without Shump, Brooks and Green vs. Novak, Fields, Jorts.

So where is the clear cut advantage? And if we're talking team ball, the Knicks been playing together and have a coach who knows them unlike NJ with that ass hat Avery.

Once again, without the hate, where is the advantage?

And F the Bullettes lol

Legal Tender thinks they have it all figured out though. I swear to god i bet most snicks fans dont even realize with all the "talent" and greatness they have assembled on that roster which is primed to make a title run this coming season that their team finished only 3 FUCKING GAMES ABOVE 500!!!

Seriously, its beyond hilarious discussing basketball with these people. They are barely a 500 team man. They have won one playoff game since the ipod was invented yet listening to them you would think they lost to the Heat in game 9 of the NBA finals in quadruple overtime on a goaltending call that the ref blew. Its insane.

We got all five positions locked down. Lin, Shump, Melo, Amar'e, Chandler.

Nigga, if you have Lin as your starting point guard then that sir, is NOT all locked up. Not to mention one guy had a grenade go off in his got dam knee and your starting fucking power forward finished the season fighting fire extinguishers and growing fucking cornrows.... Man your team is fucking trash bro.

 

[LegalMoney]

I see the names in Melo, Chandler and Amare but I don't see how they compliment each other and I said that when ya'll traded for Melo.

They went up against the healthy NBA champions without a starting point guard and one the same number of games as the Thunder did.

Once again, totality of the circumstances not isolated issues.

Yes the Heat are better, but the Pacers, Sixers, Hawks, Celtics all would have been winnable series.

[KA$H]

Nets are the new NY team; they might not win a chip, but they'll have repeat better records than the Knicks. The current Knick squad is useless. They are lazy...

Depending on what happens in Boooooooston the Nets can be a #4 or #5 team in the East. Nets will be 2nd in their division w/ the Knicks fighting for #7 & #8 like they have been for the last few years, & dead last in their division.

And I'm a Knick fan, but it is what it is; fuck it...
