There doesn't actually appear to be any legs to this story, but Spears reported it, so there it is. David Griffin and Alvin Gentry, who both work in New Orleans as professional basketball staff, attended a basketball game in New Orleans, and had a picture taken with Joe Johnson. Somehow that apparently means that we're very interested in him. The definition of ''very interested'' appears to mean ''stood within 10 feet of'', these days.
Don't expect much to come of this, I'd say. We don't have the roster space, we don't have the money, and Johnson doesn't fit our style anyway since he's an isolation heavy pure scorer and not much more than that.
