Hawks and Nets agree to terms to send Joe Johnson to Brooklyn

great news for mavs, they're the only team that DH is willing to join & sign an extension with now that the nets are out of the pursuit

A decent trade from the Nets perspective..Johnson's contract situation is notoriously bad, but he's a good player that will benefit from playing with another shot-creator in Williams, a luxury he didn't have in Atlanta..

New Jersey should be the 4th or 5th best team in the East, following this move..they traded away a pick and reluctantly ingested a historically bad contract, in exchange for avoiding another uneventful season..

Great trade from Atlanta's front office..finally shed Johnson's contract, thus making them a contender for Howard..

atlanta ain't even relevant. brooklyn have no asset to trade for DH after this trade, nor any possibility to sign him as a FA a year from now. they must have known that DH is determined to join dallas and hence they executed their plan B, Howard is joining Dallas guaranteeeeed!!!

LOL, that's sure to be teh #14 every one of those years.

How long is it protected? I guess it could be a while until Atlanta can make the selection then.
