Rockets interested in Joe Johnson

If he gets waived, don't we get first dibs since we're the worst team record-wise?

FreeBirds!

 

He's going to clear waivers, and then he's a free agent and can sign with who he wants.

 

He's gonna go try & help win one for 'The Land'.

 

Only if we want to pick up the balance of his $18m salary. Which of course we can't do even if we wanted to because we're hardcapped.

 

oh he's definitely not coming here then

 

alright, espn considers us a playoff team! woohooo. pursuit.

 

If you claim him off waivers you have to pay the salary. If he clears waivers you can sign him to a vet min contract. He will clear waivers.

 

Jason Terry, Josh Smith, and Joe Johnson. The Hawks 05/06 dream team that almost happened.

 

Mouthpiece Feigen says not interested. Not that Johnson would be interested either.

Hey Jon, Brewer & Ariza aren't "PF" either.

 

Start a team with Harden, Ariza, & Johnson. Let Ariza guard PGs full time.

 

On the bright side Josh Smith and Joe Johnson had good chemistry in ATL. reducing Brewer and Lawson or Terry minutes and giving it to Joe may be a great thing.

Still lost on why Bickerstaff didn't play smith in the 4th quarter against the Jazz but whatever.

 

Would be a good rental player, wouldn't mind.

The Rockets are not a contender. He's not coming here

 

Correct! I hope the Rockets consider bringing in Joe Johnson the only thing team can really offer him is more PT then any other team I believe.

 

no point, JB is still gonna play Brewer more minutes then JJ

 

He leaves one team not in the playoff picture for another team that isn't? Makes sense. Not to mention this team which is highly dysfunctional.
