The Post article says in the letter they sent out:
They mentioned their two draft picks — Nos. 29 and 41 — and a desire in “purchasing" another pick.
So they are down to buying a second round pick (which the Knicks also want to do, I would think).
Couldn't they do better at the trade deadline if they want to deal Johnson? The right team might emerge during the season and Johnson could provide a boost with some good play inspired by the fact that he will soon be looking for a new contract.
His salary is a 1 year cap killer, I would think. Most competing team who might only want him for a year won't have the room for him cap-wise, and if you are rebuilding, why take on a guy who is done in a year and wants a new contract?
Don't know what you do with Williams. He needs the right team/system, as well as cap space.
In both situations, any teams taking these guys on are going to want more than a sweetener...they will need to be bathed in honey.
You also have to think that the Russian might also want to include Billy King as an add on in one of these trades...
