One of the comments:

"why wouldn't the nets do that? Much better contract for Pierce than JJ, and arguably better player."

Pierce is viewed as a better player than JJ? At this stage of his career, really?

Talk about a trade that makes absolutely no sense.

Acquiring a younger atheletic forward in Josh Smith - I can see it.

Acquiring an aging semi-star player who is currently slightly worse than PP and is definitely declining - ?.

The loyalty to value factor goes way out the window in this equation.

Eh..he's always been better,there numbers this and the last 3 suggest he still is. Joe is 4 years younger though

  Gotta love the fact that it's "confirmed" but he's guessing at who's in the trade. Too funny.

Yeah, how do they know it is 'confirmed' if they can't even confirm who is getting traded.  I swear 90% of the nba media is just making stuff up at this point.  Pretty annoying actually.

Why we would trade PP for JJ is beyond me.  Isn't Johnson's contract something we def wouldn't want to take on?  I mean he is no spring chicken either.

Vescey admits that it is total speculation on his part that it was JJ ("educated guess" are the words he used).
JJ owed what about $100 million overthe next four. Vescey's full of crap.

Top 2-3 player could also be Brooke Lopez.

Unlikely, but who knows with Danny.

Who would play center for Nets?

What does "top 2-3 player" mean?  1) The nets best wing player, which is Johnson.  2) Or, one of the best 2-3 players, which are Lopez, Williams, and Johnson. 

The only way this rumor makes sense to me is if DA asked for Lopez or Williams.  PP for JJ is Gaston-era bad.

I don't believe that. JJ has the worst contract in the NBA right now.
