Joe Johnson Seeking Trade From Jazz 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Feb 1, 2018 4:04 pm

Joe Johnson has been seeking a trade from the Utah Jazz to play for a playoff contender.


Johnson signed a two-year, $22 million deal with the Jazz in 2016.


Johnson missed a few games earlier in the season with a wrist injury.


If the Jazz don't find a trade for Johnson, he could become a buyout candidate.

have a feeling he's headed to the team that drafted him - the celtics but he only initially played half a season there before being dealt to Phoenix where his career started to take off.

The C does make sense for JJ. His playoff experience will be valuable when the time comes.

My "sources" are telling me he's interested in the Warriors, Celtics, and Rockets.

Joe Johnson for Norman Powell makes sense for both teams

Jazz won’t take back long contracts. Better off releasing him.

Probably headed for a buyout. I'm guessing Warriors.

No because Joe Johnson is not that good this season.

Indiana trades: Al Jefferson (who had played in Utah before and allows for them to trade Favors)
Utah trades: Joe Johnson (goes to a playoff team that could use a vet wing)

PG Oladipo - Collison
SG Lance - CoJo
SF Bogdanovic - JJ
PF Sabonis - Young - Leaf
C Turner - Allen - Anigbogu

still productive in a limited role. Someone will be after him. Could see him in CLE for the minimum if he is bought out. Hell even GSW.

Jazz would have zero interest in Jefferson......

Great year last year. He was a fine aged wine, but now those spoiled grapes are a little too spoiled. He could help a contender though... in Spain or Russia.

Back to the Heat? He did well there.

Pels if he wants challenge

Boston needs his scoring when Kyrie is out.
