One of the TPE's we have can be used to claim him as well. Not that I'd expect that to happen.
Really? I did not know this....
Hmm..

Keep in mind they have already paid over half his salary this season. I thought I read he had 8 mil left to be paid this year. So if Nets bought him out for let's say 60% of his salary that is left, Joe would get 4.8 mil and they save 3.2 mil. So minus what we would be paying him, which is whatever percent is left of a minimum contract, Joe is probably only losing a couple mil. If we gave him a couple extra mil with a TPE if that is possible, maybe he doesn't lose much of anything, but a couple mil isn't much of a sacrifice regardless for someone making that much, if they really want to win especially.40% of 25 million is 10 million, and we couldn't sign him for that much even if we were crazy enough to want to.

I did read today that they are going to focus on playing the younger players more for the rest of the season...If JJ isnt willing to take a serious haircut to chase a ring, there's no way he gets bought out - unless Brooklyn thinks he's a distraction to the team or hindering development.
I thought if a player is bought out, bird rights don't carry over since the player is a free agent?Gouri, I have been mentioning this all year. It is one of the uses for the TPE's. I saw it as a way to get a player in their last year that we would then gain their Bird rights for. Of course, their salary would have to fit within the amount of one of our TPE's. But, it would be a tactic to then be able to extend them next summer based off their present salary.
Johnson's present salary is, of course, problematic and too much to fit. But, for the purpose of waivers, it will work like regular cap space.

Of course, I don't know what a realistic number is for a buyout or what they usually are. Maybe every case differs. I don't think details are usually ever revealed. It could be higher or lower than that 60% number, that is just an example.
And honestly, I would assume Joe could play himself into a larger/longer contract if he became a vital piece of a championship team. But that is my opinion.
I don't think inBoobie has talked about Lebron getting 20/20/20 since.... Antawn Jamison
I don't think the TPE helps you - it can be used to claim a player off waivers -- but JJ's waiver value is $24M, which is much bigger than our TPE.
It doesn't help you sign a player to a contract after they pass through waivers and become a free agent.
As an example, If we wanted to (we don't), we could use the TPE to grab Hickson off waivers, if we wanted. He would have to come here, but we would be on the hook for his $6M salary and all the tax implications of that salary.
