Joe Johnson on Trade To Nets: ‘I Had Nothing To Do With It’


Joe Johnson tried to clear up the residual trade speculation on Thursday, telling ESPN that he didn’t force his way out of Atlanta this summer: ” Joe Johnson wanted to set the record straight on Thursday, telling reporters that he never asked out of Atlanta. ‘Everybody thinks I made this trade,’ the Nets’ shooting guard said. ‘I had nothing to do with it. Every time I run into somebody when I’m in Atlanta, they ask me, ‘Why did you leave?’ I didn’t have nothing to do with it. I’m just glad that I came to a great organization and a team who wants to win.'”
