[Mainstreet]

Tyler Johnson can play some point guard.

[Folster]

Who or what are we giving up?

 

[fatosber]

19m player option next year. Who is going the other way?

 

[Chaplin]

He's making 20m this season with a player option for 20m NEXT season. WTF?

Gotta be Ryan Anderson.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyler Johnson has a large salary so I'm thinking Anderson may be involved to make it work.

The Suns would likely have to include the Bucks pick I'm guessing.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

2nd round pick? Dude only averages a little over 2 assists/game.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Gosh I should've been a basketball player...$20M to sit on the bench. Fml.

lol what?

we better not give up anything to swap Anderson for Johnson

I am not sure how Johnsons contract exactly works.

His salary is so high because he signed a poison pill contract that Miami matched which influences the cap value.

 

[1Sun]

God, no.

 

[TJ]

James Jones is drunk at the wheel. Unless it's a player-for-player swap with Ryan Anderson, I can't buy this move.

 

[Adrian]

Who he play for?

 

[TJ]

He’s not wrong

Hopefully we aren't.

The difference is Andersons guarantee next year is smaller than Johnsons, so the appeal to Miami would be about 4 million in cap savings.

But - this means we definitely can't clear more than 15 million or so at max for cap room. So this means he is our pg for next year I would think

Of course that's wrong. He signed Crawford and traded Ariza's corpse for Oubre.

 

[Mainstreet]

Johnson's position is listed as a point guard on Basketball Reference. He is a tough player as I recall.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man I don’t understand this move if it occurs. Particularly if it hamstrings our offseason.

 

[1Sun]

He’s not wrong

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Yeah, loyalty to everyone but the team for which he currently works. Fire him. Now.

 

[Chaplin]

Done

Lighten up chap, he’s making a joke.

Sure about that?

2.5 assists, 1.4 turnovers. He is no more of a point guard than Melton or Okobo, and he can't shoot or defend, either. A total waste of a roster spot.

I have a feeling this is an enormous YUCK.

 

[SirStefan32]

It has to be Anderson.
On a side note, I like TJ as a player, but his salary is insane, even if they swap him and Anderson.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Sure about that?

In pointing out that jones is helping out his old buddy and old team president? Yeah.

Wait--are you saying TJ was joking or the tweet was joking?
