Could the Nets dumping Joe Johnson actually help the Celtics?
Ever since the Brooklyn Nets were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this spring there has been speculation that they would look to move some of their expensive veterans. Despite having the league's most expensive roster and paying a hefty luxury tax bill, the Nets fell well short of expectations, putting them in a position where they have to consider hitting the reset button.
Joe Johnson would be at the forefront of any discussions about blowing up the roster. The 33-year old still has something to offer contending teams in need of a wing scorer and outside shooting.
