The Nets have agreed to acquire Joe Johnson from Atlanta, according to numerous reports. Johnson, 31, is a very fine shooting guard who also happens to work under a contract that will pay him $24.9 million — in the 2015-16 season. The Nets will be much, much better next season when they move to Brooklyn, assuming this trade happens and they follow it up by re-signing point guard Deron Williams, formalizing their four-year, $40 million agreement with small forward Gerald Wallace, re-signing center Brook Lopez, adding another piece with the mid-level exception and perhaps even asking power forward Kris Humphries to stick around.

so it's either:
Williams
Johnson/Brooks
Wallace/Green
Humphries/Williams
Lopez
with the prospect of not being able to afford Howard, or:
complete and utter devastation
way to roll the dice, Mr. King and well done Mr. Ferry. if Atlanta actually manages to sign Dwight Howard next offseason that's one hell of a defensive team.
