Joe Johnson was asked in an interview with FanHouse before Wednesday's game against New Jersey if it would be more difficult to sign with a team like the 3-32 Nets due to their record.

"It matters, man," Johnson said. "It matters. A lot comes into play. Nobody wants to go to a tough team. But you've got to keep everybody in consideration."

RealGM Note: Atlanta posted a 13-69 record in the season before Johnson joined the team in a sign-and-trade deal during the summer of 2005.
