VERY Bad news for us, J.Johnson + Crash + Extra 20mill may be enough to persuade Derron to stay in BK... Making D12 signing with them inevitable, which scares away other teams from dealing with us.

Edit: If they trade for Joe, they can no longer sign D12 next summer?

What a funny turn of events if NJ basically tells Dwight that they're not interested anymore.

MT @daldridgetnt: Not that they were ever in it, but Warriors acknowledge they're out of D12 hunt, per SHC: http://on.nba.com/KWGgb2

They won't have the money for Dwight.

Hey, if you got her tied up, you can continue to do nasty things to her... maybe things you wish you could have done, but never got the chance to do...

LOL exactly. I would not panic and would not trade him. His options will be limited next year, less money if he walks and we will have a chance to be strong again if we start clearing cap now. He will like it here best next year. He just does not know it yet.

Is the Nets cap at 200 million dollars ?

I'd love to hear him say "I've decided to be loyal, and stay with Orlando, after the Nets=Hawks deal goes down.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard

Sources confirm Hawks and Nets have agreed to terms on deal to send Joe Johnson to Nets. Deal contingent on Deron Williams staying w/Nets

InFlames · Post #753 » by **InFlames** » Mon Jul 2, 2012 9:14 pm

What is the Net's cap situation if they do that deal?

toquito · Post #754 » by **toquito** » Mon Jul 2, 2012 9:15 pm

Forget the nets. I think the Hawks can straight up sign Dwight after next season

If Hawks-Nets deal goes through, Nets are no longer in race for Dwight Howard. Cap room for D12 will be gone.

woosah · Post #757 » by **woosah** » Mon Jul 2, 2012 9:16 pm

I'll believe it when I see the pens to the papers...or a report that says such has been done, lol. Not that I think the Nets are lying, but deals can fall apart. CP3/LA deal anyone? Atl could back out, or BK could back out or Deron could bolt or whatever. July 11th come on!!!!!

Joe Johnson to Nets is official-ish.

sorry, i meant if dwill goes to dallas.. basically would howard want to play with just joe johnson and gerald wallace in bk? May not matter tho because apparently the johnson trade only goes down if deron re-signs.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Nets would send Jordan Williams, Petro, Farmar, Morrow and a sign-and-trade of Stevenson for Joe Johnson, sources tell Y!
