    You can tell which fans don't follow the NBA as close as others. Iso Joe is a small ball 4 at this stage of his career. Green's minutes (or lack there of) are safe.

    In other news, Joe Johnson has mutual interest with the Benjamins. The more of the Benjamins he meets the more likely he is to work for that team.

    That is unfortunate but not surprising. OKC does have an open roster spot. And they probably have a better role for him with their lack of depth on the bench. They got Melo and then they are going to get "Melo-lite" in JJ.

    And they will still suck. They need another Andre Roberson. Never thought Andre had that much of an impact.

    PF Trust rankings

    1) Ariza
    2) Mbah a Moute
    3) PJ Tucker
    4) Joe Johnson (would be 2nd offensively)
    5) Ryan Anderson

    Have no idea in reference to. There’s so many names on the market.

    Looking forward to a partner for Nene and any other established locker room vet.

    “We’re optimistic about one buyout, if not more.”

    I'm optimistic that Robert Brown is on his way back too. ;)

    Well, Bobby Brown hasn’t been resigned yet so I’m assuming that a new guard is on the horizon.

    If Benjamins were Johnson’s only motivator, then he wouldn’t agree to a buyout. He’s not gonna make as much money on another team as he would just sitting out the remainder of his deal.

    Warriors are not interested in Joe Johnson because of lacking of excitement.

    Warriors want B Lopez, Thomas and Evans, but they are not available.

    Rockets can add Channing Frye also.

    Nothing is good now.

    The key for Joe Johnson is playing time. He is playing 22 minutes a game now. Can a team give him 30?

    22 minutes per game in playoffs? reduce green's minutes?
