    Joe Johnson has been repeatedly calling out his team for being selfish and now blew up on twitter. He hasn't dropped any names in particular though.

    According to the article, there was a rumor going around that Brook Lopez and Lionel Hollins had some sort of conflict as well.

    Johnson is so overpayed though. 23mil? How many years does he have left on that.

    It ends 2016. Geez, I feel like he's had that contract forever.

    I find all of it surprising given that Hollins' is an affable, players' coach. As much as I am fond of Scott, Hollins' was first choice as coach.

    Yeah I was kidding but I kind of like the idea actually. :D

    The only problem would be it'd kill our cap for this summer. His 24.9 million with Kobe's 25... Ouch. It'd leave us with roughly 2.5 million before the cap to spend on free agents. BUT his contract expires next summer so we'd have basically our entire cap to spend in the summer of 2016. We'd have something like 65 million to spend.

    Only player I want from them is Plumlee. Doubt they'd give him up though.

    You wouldn't want to put Brook Lopez next to one of our PFs?
