Makes no sense.. Why initiate or entertain a talk about a 24 mil player to be like... Hummm...too costy.. They should know that the moment it's mentioned..
But I heard they are refusing Andy left and right on trades
They didn't initiate talks with Brooklyn. Brooklyn wants the Haywood contract and Sasha Kaun from Russia. We still have his rights.
Cavs wanted David West but could not find a team to take Andy. Brooklyn doesn't want him. With the West thing over with Andy is more than likely here to stay unless we can get a commitment from Stoudomire or something and another team is willing to take Andy.
Joe Johnson is 34 y/o & makes 25 mil next season. I can see why they're hesitant. We'd have 4 max contracts in our starting line up and 1 coming off the bench (TT). They have a lot of other offers (supposedly) and are mulling over everything. This is their last major asset and they want to get the most they can out of it (They prefer a younger wing with long term potential).
IMO i think JJ fits perfectly. He can play alot of minutes at the 3 and there wouldn't be a gigantic drop off offensively when we limit LBJ's minutes. The #1 thing this team needs to be concerned with is limiting LBJ. They need to reduce his minutes 10 fold and give him games off while still gunning for the 1-2 seed. Mo William's helps with Kyrie in that respect and TT with Love. Just need LBJ insurance. The issue i see with JJ is that he could drop off over night and then we will be in the same situation next off season with trying to find a LBJ back up.
