I don't understand why everyone thinks an expiring contract like Johnson is some huge asset that teams covet. he bottomline is that sellers are usually bad rebuilding teams that want good young players and/or draft picks to build around. Expiring contracts at the end of the are not a rare or coveted asset by themselves, theyre what you need as trade filler to make salaries match without the other team having to take on long term money. The Magic didn't want OPJ's expiring for Vuc, they wanted the 2 draft picks and WCJ. OPJ was just there to make the math work.
