“They can score the ball, just get stops,” Johnson told us at LAX on Thursday. “That will be their biggest problem throughout the season.”
Johnson is not ready to call them the best big three in the game, but in terms of scoring ?? That’s right.
“Without a doubt. The three best insulations, take a bucket – yes, you won’t get any better than that.”
When asked what this means for LeBron’s quest for ring # 5, Joe keeps it real.
“Shit, they’re going to be a problem for any body. Not just for the Lakers. But, like I said, the Nets, they’re going to find that out over the course of the season and they’re going to get going. Right now, they’re still trying to find each other. “
