    Ok, Joe Johnson's team is buying him out because they don't think he's even worth keeping around. If he wants to go to a contender as reported, he'd be an idiot to expect a big role. He's 36 years old and just got ****-canned. He's probably hoping to chip in on a playoff run, not help lead it.

    Joe Johnson would sign here to be our backup point

    I'm not convinced JJ has much left in the tank, and I don't want Green to get even less minutes (when everyone is healthy).

    I guess maybe if the plan is to reduce all the starters minutes and give everyone a bit of a break to finish out the season it could work, but when the playoffs come I'd much rather any spare minutes going to GG. And in general I'd much rather bring in another big man if we bring in anyone. I worry if Nene gets hurt again, that messed up a bit bad last playoffs

    Joe would have to accept not playing here unless he was really needed. I don't think he will come to Houston.

    Joe Johnson is quietly considering Houston. He quietly played with Mike D'Antoni in Phoenix.

    You sign JJ if you can but it's hard seeing minutes for him unless we plan on cutting Anderson out of the rotation.

    Green has been amazing this season and I bet he won't see the floor with a healthy squad... What does that mean for JJ who's been struggling this year?

    I'd take him if we can get him, but I wouldnt expect him to play much. We could really use another good backup C on the other hand with Nene's health and Black's struggles.

    If we land JJ we would be 11 deep full of killas! I’m all for it we’re gonna benefit from it in the long run and especially in the playoffs.

    Markel Brown is on a two way. He is separate from the main roster count
