Hello Brooklyn! Joe Johnson Traded to The Nets for Four Players and A First Round Pick



Looks like The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets have have made the first splash of the offseason, trading four players and a first round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks for the services of Joe Johnson. The Nets managed to keep rising star MarShon Brooks but will ship Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro, and Jordan Williams down I-85 along with a first round pick in the 2013 draft. However, with Johnson's four years and nearly $89 million left on a maximum contract originally signed in 2010, the Nets may not have enough racks to sign Dwight Howard considering point guard Deron Williams will be receiving big paper himself.
