Don't see anything coming of this but it sure would put a new spin on the Jenkins pick.

[MaceCase]

Please lawd.

[EazyRoc]

What are we getting in return ?

[Seano]

Interesting. Deron is meeting with both the Mavs and Nets on Monday, so maybe Brooklyn is feeling some sense of urgency.

[sturt]

My guess... what we get is essentially new cap room.

If this is a joke, it is a sorry and cruel one. Please Brooklyn take Joe off our hands PLEASE!!!

[Sothron]

I wonder if we'd get a S&T Lopez back.

Michael Cunningham is reporting it too, so hopefully this rumor has got some real legs.

[prolikewhoa]

I am all for this even if it is for cap room. Ferry is the man if he can correct Sund's mistake of Joe's huge contract.

[MrMeltdown]

Makes sense to me, not because of the Jenkins pick but because Joe has always been a better trade chip than most blindly stated. The guy is a 5 or 6 x all-star he is not Gilbert, Rashard, or any of those characters.

[sturt]

Wojo has to be one of the most reliable beat guys out there... that alone means it has legs.

[WraithSentinel]

Please let this be true.

[Deeman]

I don't care who we get in return.

[Blake1bp10]

Can we really be this lucky????

[MrNique]

Marsh on Brooks for Joe Johnson straight up. Done deal.

[MrMeltdown]

They will only have $17 mill on the books come July 11 when they can start signing people so I don't even know how that would work. I think they have holds for Deron, Brooks, and maybe even Wallace, add Humpries to that.DeronJoeWallaceHumphriesLopezBetter than what we have since they have a legit player that actually plays that position at each position. I would like it if we could do Marshon straight up but I don't think that works.
