Nets sign L. Johnson!!!!!

Yeah, I thought it was Larry Johnson at first too.

He didnt play a lot at the Spurs. Actually he almost didnt play at all. Hope he can contribute to the Nets and not sit on the IR the whole season.

hehe, lint is what I pull out of my bellybutton...hehe

Pff, like this will make up for no 'Reef (or Traylor at least!).
I liked the description of him as a "versatile player with a strong defensive focus"...meaning he won't do jack on offense.

BTW: Your sig is strangely amusing

Linton is a good defensive player, not sure about his offense though

With Kidd, Jefferson and Carter already on the team I don't think they need another scorer too much...

What does he do the best? Is he a big forward?

all i remember was when he was a bull he was an awesome rebounder for his size.

hes a good defender... compared to bowen here in SA

What does he do the best? Is he a big forward?

He is good defender and rebounder. I think he is 6'9 not sure though. Defense is his best skill.

I think the next VERY important thread in NBA Talk should be: 'Jamison Brewer fails physical because of diagnosed toe fungus'... Sorry Indy.

hmmm good sign I guess , I don't think he'll make a big contribution to the nets team.

With Kidd, Jefferson and Carter already on the team I don't think they need another scorer too much...

they don't necessarily need another scorer, but they do need an inside offensive threat @ 4 to spread the defense.. right now we've got 3 guys who can put up the mid range shot or penetrate.. so that's exactly what opponents will play us for on defense.. we don't have a dedicated inside or outside threat..

unless carter, jefferson, or kidd put in some serious work on the 3 ball to create a legitimate 3pt option then I can see the nets forcing up tre's more and more as they get shut down on offense because of their predictability.. and that's why you need an inside scoring option..
