All quiet on potential Joe Johnson trade to Cavs

Cleveland is contemplating a trade for Brooklyn Nets swingman Joe Johnson, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Nets are actively looking to unload Johnson's contract, which will pay him $24.8 million this season in the final year of his deal. In order to make the numbers work, the Cavs are using Brandan Haywood's $10.5 million unguaranteed contract. However, the talks have yet to develop into anything substantial, according to Sports Illustrated.

The former All-Star averaged 14.4 points on 44 percent shooting last season, and would give the Cavs another wing scorer and physical defender while giving Brooklyn some much-needed cap relief.

Alan Anderson to Washington

Brooklyn had made re-signing Alan Anderon their top priority this offseason, but the swingman was agreed to a deal with the Washington Wizards, according to David Aldridge. He averaged 7.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game off the bench last season.

Brooklyn interested in Sasha Kaun

The Nets have also talked to the Cavs about acquiring big man Sasha Kaun, according to Sports Illustrated. The 30-year old Russian center is interested in playing in the NBA next season, but Cleveland owns Kaun’s rights and doesn't have room for him on their roster.
