Joe Johnson's 90 million over the next 4 years will make it damn near impossible to take on Dwight Howard's salary....unless killa get billy king on the phone and get some more inside information as to how they can make this stuff work...

That's a 1st round east team right there possibly 2nd round
Sometimes it's not always about talent but also a will to win.
The NBA would probably a LOT more competitive IF you had more players that were truly hungry to win.
It seems most are just satisfied with the money and being able to say they play in the NBA.
With that said, if the Nets can get a hunger to them then they may have a top 4 team in the East.

Get ready for another 22-44 season. Same ol Nets...
Joe Johnson is overrated and it will be all on Deron again. He's staying in BK but that team will be an 8th seed at BEST....
This move isn't about winning. This move is about putting asses in seats.
When the last time the nets made it to the post season? An 8th seed birth is a win for the Nets
No matte how you slice it that will be a successful season
If he pulls that off they need to award his ass Executive of the Year right now.
I guess after thinking about it the Hawks could make a play for Dwight Howard if he becomes a free agent.
yep

Yeah he's from Atlanta. He and Josh Smith were AAU teammates.
Damn....just like a fight it's the punch that you don't see that stings the most....

I've heard that they may have been the best AAU team ever. They had 2 more NBA players on that team, 6'11 center Randolph Morris and Javaris Crittenton.
I'm glad i'm not a scout cuz I sure thought he was going to be a beast coming out of Georgia Tech.

So did I but he only played 1 year went to the Lakers where Phil didn't and wasn't going to play him and then 2 other spots in a span of 3 years. Crittenton is still only 24 years old. And the first time I saw Morris was in an ESPN game in which his team played against Dwight and Crittenton's high school team and in that game he looked better than Howard.
With the Hawks moves the Bulls need to see if either Morrow or Jenkins is available particularly if they don't plan on retaining Korver. Morrow for Korver may also work since Korver has spent time playing SF.
2012 NBA Free Agency: Cap Space is "high risk," "over valued" says Ted Leonsis
Joe Dumars has just reminded us that any contract can be traded, and in so doing, created significant financial flexibility for the Detroit Pistons. At the end of the 2012-2013 NBA season, Corey Maggette, Will Bynum, and Jason Maxiell will come off the books, and possibly so will Austin Daye and Charlie Villanueva as well.
That financial flexibility could be used in one of three ways (or in multiple combinations).
1. Trade those expiring contract prior to the 2013 trade deadline for assets;
2. Let those contracts come off the books and absorb salary dumps from other teams in the types of trades only teams under the cap are allowed to do; or,
3. Let those contracts come off the books and use the money to pursue free agents in the summer of 2013.
It is fair to say that the unofficial official position of DBB is that franchise building happens primarily through the draft and through trades and is supplemented by acquiring players via free agency.
Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Wizards (whose staff is quietly putting together a very interesting roster, by the way), appears to agree, and offers what should be words of caution for any NBA executive hoping to build exclusively through cap space in free agency.
In a nutshell, free agency is risky and over valued.
Of all of the tools available, free agency has the most risk, costs the most as you always over pay (because you are in a bidding situation against other teams), and is the most uncertain - just because you have cap space doesn't mean you can use it and get what you want as to a player joining your team. And free agency burns though cap space for a long term in that free agents tend to sign longer term deals. That translates to high risk and no guarantee of high reward. The free agent you do sign had better be the right player, as the player will get paid a lot of money and also get a lot of term.
[...]
Right now, I see the draft and trades as the best way to use cap space to rebuild or replenish with certainty. I am hopeful we can use free agency as well - time will tell. But it may be that having cap space is a bit over-valued in free agency. In fact, it may hurt in that some teams may have to use their cap space to chase deals to the detriment of their long term plans. We shall see. Stay tuned.

2006-2007 Beat the Raptors first round and lost to LeBrons Cavs
8th seed isn't a "win" for them. They aren't in NJ anymore where they can get away without being scrutinized for their legacy of fail. This is a city that used to clown the Knicks even when they were on a 15 season playoff streak. Brooklyn isn't going to be happy with Nets business as usual. New arena, new uniforms, same garbage team. They're still a joke. Only difference now is that they'll have the scrutiny to go a long with it.
