Williams and Johnson will be tough to move prior to NBA Draft
What was once dubbed the “Best Backcourt in the NBA” by Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King is looking more and more like the most overpaid set of guards in the league’s history.
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, two of the Nets’ foundation pieces upon their arrival in Downtown Brooklyn three years ago, will collect a combined $68 million over the next two seasons.
That isn’t exactly looking like it will be money well-spent, considering Brooklyn’s first-round exit from the playoffs in two of their first three campaigns in our fair borough. Not to mention the fact that both players appear to be nudging past their peak performance years, to put it kindly.
