Lawyer suspect arrested at wing joint after murder of Queens woman QUEENS. Police charged

the boyfriend of a murdered Queens woman with her killing Saturday. According to the Queens district attorney's office, Jason Bohn, 33, was arraigned Saturday afternoon on charges of murder, criminal contempt and tampering with evidence. Cops say Bohn, who they reportedly nabbed at a White Plains Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, beat and strangled to death his girlfriend, Danielle Thomas, 27. He could face up to 25 years to life if convicted. Bohn pleaded not guilty and was held without bail until his next court date, which is July 5. METRO/AB

CORRALLING CLUCKERS

MILES DIXON /METRO

Urban farming popular summer pastime New Yorkers more apt than ever to source their own food Five years ago, Benjamin Stein and his wife Arin Kramer received a package at their Boerum Hill brownstone labeled “live birds.” In it were three full-sized chickens they had ordered from a hatchery in the Midwest. A very confused-looking postman handed over the box, and thus began the Steins' pursuit of urban chickening. The local food-sourcing movement is hardly new. But as more people become conscious of where their food comes from, New Yorkers are taking matters into their own hands, converting backyards and rooftops into compact urban farms. For Stein, who is also a board member for the nonprofit In Our Backyards, raising chickens is about being more sustainable and utilizing the little green space his family has access to in their small brownstone backyard. “This is a huge trend for people,” Stein explained. “Doing more gardening and raising chickens at home is just another example of people wanting to be more connected with the land in an urban environment.” Urban chickening is also commonplace among immigrants who come from countries where at-home poultry farming is a major food source, like Haiti. “Not only is it a good way to connect with nature, but a

way to connect with their own culture,” Elizabeth Bee Ayer, who runs a chicken apprentice program in Crown Heights, told Metro. For Stein and his family, who now have five chickens, the upkeep of the animals is about the same as a pet hamster. They must be fed each day, and their coop must be cleaned about once a week. They collect between 10 to 20 eggs every week. For many urban chickeners, the birds become family pets. Stein’s chickens are affectionately named after the mothers of his friends: Sandy, Shirley, Rosie, Rhonda and Rosaline.

Plenty more room for farming in New York City NEW YORK. Urban farming is gaining popularity as more New Yorkers are increasingly interested in utilizing whatever green space they have. “I think people find ways, living in the city, to be in touch with the source of their food and have a connection with nature,” Ayer said. Although urban farmers report a growing interest from New Yorkers wishing to learn how to keep bees, chickens or gardens, there is still a

Children learn about chickens in Brooklyn.

Urban beekeeping has become another popular rooftop or backyard activity, especially since it was legalized in 2010. But honey harvesters say it’s a much bigger commitment than most people realize. Bay Ridge resident and beekeeper Jimmy Johnson told Metro that although beekeeping is a hot urban trend, its popularity could backfire. “Every little hipster is keeping a beehive, and it’s all going to go down, because it’s more work than even I realized,” Johnson said. “In the city, there is only so much pollen and nectar, and with the spike of hives, there isn’t

the nectar to support that.” For those who are willing to make the commitment, beekeeping is about more than just tens of pounds of honey per year. Ayer, who keeps rooftop bees collectively with the residents of her Brooklyn brownstone, said it provides a sense of community while educating the neighborhood. “People love it,” she said. “Kids want to come up and see them, our neighbors love the honey and many people want to learn about it.” CASSANDRA GARRISON

How to get bees and chickens into the city NEW YORK. New Yorkers interested in raising chickens or bees will have to look outside the city limits. Urban chicken farmers often order their birds from hatcheries. Eggs, chicks, pullets (young hens) or fullgrown chickens can all be shipped through the mail. Breed is an important factor depending on whether the birds will be raised for their eggs or as pets. Elizabeth Bee Ayer warns against keeping

chickens on rooftops, because of the lack of soft ground for them to peck. Instead, she recommends small backyards or community gardens. Live bees can be ordered from an apiary, or bee yard. It costs about $350 to get started, according to Ayer. An urban beekeeper needs to order tools, a hive, about 10,000 live bees and a queen – shipped in a separate box, often with a couple of assistant bees. METRO/CG

Con Ed dispute heats up as temps soar In the midst of a city heat wave, Consolidated Edison told about 8,000 unionized workers not to come to work Sunday after the power utility company and union leaders failed to agree on a contract. In the meantime, the company assured customers that managers are taking over maintenance duties.

Labor dispute Company walk-in centers are closed, meter reading is suspended and non-emergency major construction projects have been “limited,” according to Con Ed, which services 3.2 million people in Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Westchester and Queens.

Con Ed spokesman Alfonso Quiroz confirmed that talks ended early Sunday. Con Ed reportedly suggested extending the current contract for two weeks so that sticky negotiations over pensions and health care could continue, but union leaders refused. Con Ed officials asked all 8,500 unionized workers not to report to work on Sunday, sparking concerns over possible power outages as temperatures hit almost 100 degrees. “Con Ed took the extreme measure of locking out its unionized workforce, putting the city of New York and Westchester county in peril,” union spokesman John Melia told Reuters. Quiroz said the two-week extension was still on the table. DANIELA BERNAL

Support for Obamacare rises after Supreme Court blessing LUKE SHARRETT-POOL/GETTY IMAGES

Voter support for President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul has increased following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling upholding it, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday showed. Among all registered voters, support for the law rose to 48 percent in the online survey conducted after Thursday’s ruling, up from 43 percent before the court decision. The survey showed increased backing from Republicans and, crucially, the political independents whose support will be essential to winning the Nov. 6 presidential

Thirty-eight percent of independents supported the healthcare overhaul.

election. Thirty-eight percent of independents supported the healthcare overhaul. That was up from 27 percent from a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken days before the justices’ ruling. “This is a win for Obama. This is his bill. There’s not really any doubt in people’s minds, that it belongs to him,” said Julia Clark, vice president at Ipsos Public Affairs. “It’s his baby. It’s literally been labeled Obamacare. ... Maybe it works in his favor now that there’s a little bit of a victory dance going on.” Republican opposition to the law stayed strong, if somewhat weaker than before the high court ruled. Eighty-one percent of Republicans opposed it in the most recent survey, down from 86 percent in the poll conducted June 19-23. REUTERS

After ruling, will states be ready to act? Policy experts question whether enough U.S. states will be ready to implement the health care law when it takes full effect in 2014. Up to now, most states have avoided decisive action to build the private insurance exchanges that would extend health coverage to an additional 16 million Americans. Governors in largely Republican states who oppose the entire law may still refuse to act on the exchanges, requiring the federal government to step in to operate them. REUTERS

Health care reform is being called a “win” for Obama.

Chinese astronauts have groundbreaking stay on the country’s new space station Their mission is latest installment in China’s ambitious and emerging space program And it’s not all in the name of science Last weekend three astronauts, including one woman, blasted off to China’s new space station, rather immodestly called the Heavenly Palace. And China has even grander plans for outer space. “Space is a top priority for China,” said Professor Walter Peeters, President of the International Space University. “But it doesn’t have access to U.S. space technology, so it’s developing all the technology on its own. In 2020, China will have the most autonomous space station in the world.” The current mission, Shenzhou 9, is China’s first manned space mission dock-

ing with the Heavenly Palace (Tiangong in Chinese). Though Tiangong is much smaller than the International Space Station, China is the only country in the world that has its own space station. “This is techno-nationalism,” said Jill Stuart, lecturer in Space Politics at the London School of Economics. “Pride and glory plays a role in every country’s space program, but especially so in China’s.” But China’s space lust also has pragmatic reasons. “I once asked a Chinese friend, ‘Why are you putting so much money into space?’” Peeters said. “He answered, ‘Because

we want to sell cars.’” Indeed, Chinese industry stands to benefit greatly from the country’s space exploration. “One can use frontier technologies from space exploration in commercial sectors,” according to Professor Lan Xue, dean of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University

in Beijing. “If a company had to do that kind of research on its own, it would be extremely expensive.” In other words, China wants its space program to do for its industry what NASA’s memory foam did for US airlines. “But why doesn’t China skip the space station and go directly to Mars, or mine resources on the moon?” Stuart said. “Having Chinese astronauts on the moon would really shake the Americans up, especially since they don’t have a space shuttle anymore.” ELISABETH BRAW METRO WORLD NEWS IN LONDON

The Chinese space shuttle blasts oﬀ for the Heavenly Palace.

Using space to monitor crops, feed growing population Competition has always been a key factor in space exploration. But now countries are launching space programs not to put a man on the moon — but to improve their economies. “Space isn’t a priority for

Russia anymore, but India and Brazil are investing heavily in space research,” Walter Peeters of the International Space University said. “India does it because it needs water and food. It’s developing a whole infrastructure based in space for its booming population.” Indeed, India uses satellites to track their crops to see when they’re ready for harvest: much cheaper than maintaining a huge staff on the ground.

Problems The U.S. doesn’t own the moon or any other part of space. That’s the challenge as an increasing number of companies set out to try to mine minerals from space. The growing interest in space resources means we’re running out of space in space. The orbit already hosts thousands of satellites — and a layer of space junk now surrounds the Earth.

She earned her diploma after giving birth twice during two jail stints, she says. “The fact that my two kids have been born here totally changed my point of view,” says Duarte, who was charged in 2010 with attempted murder and is awaiting trial.

Challenges One of the most difficult challenges is developing a coherent curriculum in a jail that is designed to house inmates who are serving less than a year — or in many cases are jailed only a few weeks while their case is resolved and they are moved elsewhere, says Nick Marinacci, the school’s principal. With such a churning population, semesterlong projects are a difficult undertaking. Instead, the school tries to chop up its curriculum into weeklong chunks. “I tell my staff, ‘Teach like there’s no tomorrow,’” says Marinacci, who oversees 14 teachers and three assistant principals.

“I don’t want you ever to touch foot in this place again,” education chancellor Dennis Walcott told the graduates.

uation ceremony was much like any other taking place in high schools across the city. Inmates dressed in yellow or blue gowns and mortar boards approached the podium to their parents’ cheers and shouts of encouragement. Even tough-looking jail officers

cracked smiles. Clutching his diploma, Jamar Allah, 19, said he had dropped out of school, like nearly half the students at Rikers. He has been housed at Rikers since May on burglary charges that have since been re-

duced to criminal trespass. Allah says he plans to enroll at a community college to study culinary science and business management. But that will have to wait. For now, he is in jail, housed in a 60-bed dormitory until his Oct. 1 release date. REUTERS

Katie Holmes gets feisty in divorce ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

We all knew that when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got a divorce, it was going to be a weird one. What we didn’t expect was that after five years, Katie would snap out of her dead-behind-the-eyes trance with so much fight left in her. Before filing for divorce on Thursday, the actress had already rented a separate apartment for herself in New York. Although she does occasionally live in the city, it could have been a strategic move: She’s requesting sole custody of 6-yearold daughter Suri, which is more likely to be granted in New York than Los Angeles, where joint custody is more popular. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest,” Holmes’ lawyer said in a statement Friday. The “best interest” part is, reportedly, a reference to the Church of Scientology, which Holmes doesn’t want Suri raised in. Although a high-profile member while with Cruise, Holmes is now afraid that she is considered a “threat” to the or-

Talking points

In statement released by his rep, Tom Cruise claims he is “deeply saddened” to learn of the filing, which happened while he was shooting on location in Iceland. And yes, while we’re also hesitant to believe Cruise feels real human emotions off camera, it does seem possible that he wasn’t expecting the filing: Sources tell Us Weekly that the family was recently spotted having fun at a Reykjavik restaurant. Just last month, he was being closer to cute than couch-jumping-crazy when speaking about his wife to Playboy. “She is an extraordinary person, and if you spent five minutes with her, you’d see it,” he said. Well now, this is awkward: Tom Cruise-as-robot is one of the few sacred truths of this page. Katie, we don’t have much over here — please don’t take this from us.

DARLING DENISE

LIONSGATE PUBLICITY

‘Madea’s Witness Protection’ star Denise Richards gushes about director and actor Tyler Perry

s she munches on Peanut M&Ms, exchanges a quick word with her publicist and taps out a lightning-fast text message — “I’m so sorry, just making arrangements with the kids,” she blurts — Denise Richards is every bit the multitasking mom. But in a matter of hours, she’ll dial up the glamour, working the red carpet for the premiere of “Madea’s Witness Protection,”

Amiable exes? Richards guest stars on ex-husband Charlie Sheen’s highly anticipated comeback sitcom, “Anger Management,” which made its FX debut last week. “If it gets picked up, I’ll be a recurring character,” she says enthusiastically. “I think people will be surprised to see Charlie playing a different character; it’s not what they’re expecting.”

the seventh installment in Tyler Perry’s ever-expanding franchise. Released nationwide on Friday, the raucous comedy is centered on George Needleman (Eugene Levy), an honest but absent-minded Wall Street CFO who learns his firm is operating a mob-backed Ponzi scheme. When Brian, a federal prosecutor from Atlanta (Perry), places George and his family in the safest hideaway he can think of — his Aunt Madea’s down South — what unfolds is a whacky collision of cultures, punctuated with brazen oneliners, courtesy of Perry’s fearless, larger-than-life matriarch. “I haven’t seen [the film] yet,” confesses Richards, 41, who plays George’s aggravated second wife, Kate. “My girls won’t be embarrassed? Like, ‘Mom, you’re acting really weird’?” she asks with a selfconscious giggle. She’s asking about an especially outrageous scene where Kate channels Madea’s thunderous, trademark holler in a last-ditch effort to discipline

her spoiled stepdaughter (Danielle Campbell). “Thank God they sprung that scene on me on set, otherwise I would’ve gotten myself worked up,” she admits. “It was intimidating. I was imitating Tyler Perry imitating Madea.”

ichards sings praises for Perry, marveling at his seamless ability to write, direct and simultaneously play three characters (in addition to Brian and Madea, Perry also portrays Uncle Joe, Madea’s eccentric, livein brother). “He’s so sexy, he’s got this great presence,” Richards gushes, describing Perry’s charismatic offscreen

persona. “And to go from that to Madea and Joe telling fart jokes … I’m like, how does that come out of you?” The cast, which also includes Doris Roberts, John Amos and Romeo Miller, shot exclusively in Perry’s Atlanta studio, or “empire,” as Richards dubs it. “There’s a different feel when you’re on location together; no one has their families to go home to,” she explains, though she was eventually joined by her three daughters. “But people could not be nicer. We had that camaraderie.” AARTI VIRANI letters@metro.us

How to go about finding a therapist I’d like to start seeing a therapist. How do I choose someone? I'm a little nervous to tell all my secrets to a stranger.

inding the right therapist is a bit like dating — with a few exceptions, as you can imagine. I’m not recommending skipping from therapy couch to couch until you find the perfect match. But unless the professional sitting before you gives you the willies, I would suggest giving him or her at least three visits to see if your comfort level increases. But even comfort can be tricky; if your new therapist reminds you of the mother you hate, it could be a good match — she might help you access and work through the thoughts and feelings about your mother that always trip you up in relationships. What happens in the room between client and therapist is often a reflection of what happens outside the room between clients and their signifi-

cant relationships. A good healing relationship with a therapist can be a powerful thing. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

KIM SCHNEIDERMAN, MSW, LCSW

Here are some basic considerations:

WWW.NOVEL-PERSPECTIVE.COM

Make sure the therapist has the appropriate mental health license, which varies from state to state. This includes Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He or she might have a Ph.D. or PsyD in Psychology.

Your secret’s safe Only under certain, specific circumstances do therapists break confidentiality: Suspected cases of child physical and sexual abuse, past and present (the past is required in case the abuser still has access to children) Serious threats to harming yourself or another person When sharing information with medical professionals, insurance companies and anyone else you designate When seeking consultation from other mental health experts, who are legally bound to keep the info confidential

While it’s generally not a good idea to see the same therapist as a relative (unless it’s a family therapist), it helps to get referrals from trustworthy sources. If you want to use your insurance, there are also several online sites (e.g. Psychology Today) that match you with therapists who take your insurance.

Inquire about treatment approaches and specializations. Most therapists can treat depression, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship issues. But if you need help with a cocaine addiction, go to a treatment center or find someone who is a credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, make sure your therapist has experience treating OCD. A little research can go a long way. – Kim Schneiderman, MSW, LCSW, is a psychotherapist and former journalist with a private practice in New York City. She is currently working on her ﬁrst book, “How to Be the Star of Your Own Story: Writing the Path to Personal Transformation,” based on the therapeutic writing workshops she’s taught at the 92nd Street Y and JCC in Manhattan.

Interview

Growing — and blooming — on the ‘Career Lattice’ In 2004, Joanne Cleaver was the deputy business editor at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and envisioned herself staying there for decades. Just a few years later, the newspaper industry was in a free fall and Cleaver found herself laid off. But her unorthodox career path — mixing an entrepreneurial approach with freelance and staff positions — allowed her to adjust to the changing media landscape. And she’s sure that versatility can help your career, too. Her new book — “The Career Lattice: Combat Brain Drain, Improve Company Culture, and Attract Top Talent” — was released by McGraw-Hill last month. Today, Cleaver is president of the Chicagobased media-consulting firm, Wilson-Taylor Associates. Why is the traditional career ladder collapsing?

We’ve seen a shift toward team structures in organizations. Companies will have a team devoted to a project, and that team will disperse and reform for another project. Also, during the recession many organizations eliminated entire layers of management, so each rung of the ladder has become much steeper in

many cases — and more incapable of developing talent. Is there a silver lining in any of this?

Now we know we’re on our own, and there’s a certain freedom in that. The “Lattice” provides structure for channeling the ambition that you have. You don’t have to rely on what your human resources department tells you. You don’t have to follow in anyone’s footsteps or flounder around accumulating certifications that lead nowhere.

Finding a little freedom at work O

n July Fourth, most of us will have a day off to celebrate our freedom — usually with fireworks and hot dogs. But what about your freedom back at the office? We asked experts how we can spend less time chained to our desks and more time flexing our creative muscles.

What’s the ﬁrst step in designing a “Career Lattice”?

Get flexible

First, you have to inventory your skills. Your job description describes what you need to do to accomplish your job at your organization. But you bring more than that. You have skills and aptitudes that could shape the acquisition of a new skill. So you need a 360-degree inventory of everything you bring to your career. Then you can begin to mix and match your technical skills, experience and natural talents to position yourself for a lateral move. And the more lateral moves you make, the more pieces of your skill set will be validated. BRUCE WALSH

“Flexibility is freedom,” declares Allison O'Kelly, founder/CEO of Mom Corps. She suggests learning your company's specific options for flexible schedules before approaching your boss. “Check with your human resources department before speaking with

your manager, to see if there is a flexible work plan in place. Before diving in headlong, educate yourself on the mutual benefits of flexible work options and be prepared to do the same for your manager.”

Telecommute Heather R. Huhman, founder and president of Come Recommended, is a firm believer in telecommuting. “Many employees are beginning to telecommute to improve their work-life balance,” says Huhman. “Many jobs require work that can be completed from home, so talk to your boss about testing out telecommuting for a day or two.

We are getting no help from the television newscasters in understanding what the Obamacare issue is all about. First, it is not the president’s job to create laws. Second, the “law” is unconstitutional in that it is not the job of government to be involved with health care. Practically everything the government in Washington touches is made worse: public education, government spending, wars, housing, just to name a few. Health care should be locally controlled or be influenced by state governments not the federal government. And one more thing, Romney says he will “reform” the health care law. What a phoney conservative! He should be seeking to abolish the monstrosity not

The Affordable Care Act frees an employee from “job lock,” the reluctance to voluntarily terminate employment for fear of losing health care benefits, particularly if one has a pre-existing condition. Now, it will take more than company health insurance to hold a valuable, experienced employee who should be better paid or better treated. GLENN HAYES, KEW GARDENS, N.Y.

Romney says that if elected he would repeal “the debacle that is Obamacare.” In supreme court justice Roberts’ decision on the affordable health care act he states that the blueprint for “Obamacare” was laid out by the former governor of Massachusetts. Mitt Romney!

I disagree on one point. The flag is a sacred piece of our national history, but that does not stop people from other countries from proudly displaying their country’s colors in whatever garments or accessories they choose, because that is the very nature of America, freedom of expression. So if one chooses to wear the red, white and blue, then what’s the harm? One can wear the colors of the flag, but not the flag itself; and, if you so choose, at least make sure that it’s made in America! ANTHONY

The Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is Constitutional. But is it the right call? As a nation, we are in a sluggish economy and millions of people are out of work. In my opinion, if you force small businesses to insure all their employees, they will not look to expand or hire more workers. In addition to that, if you force those who cannot afford insurance to buy it, even at a reduced rate you create a hardship. A person might be forced to make a choice between housing and food to pay for insurance. That, in my view, is just not the right way to go.

VASSER, SAINT ALBANS, N.Y.

Our soldiers wear U.S. flag patches on their shoulders as part of their uniform. This has been a long-standing tradition, and it was declared mandatory in 2004, with allowances for camouflage. Are we therefore to say that the U.S. military uniform is unpatriotic?

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. You’re likely to be quite imaginative, which is all well and good, as long as you don’t view life’s developments more negatively than positively. Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. If you find yourself feeling a trifle envious or jealous of a close friend, make that energy into a motivator, no matter how painful it is to do so. Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. You could get everyone frustrated with you if you vacillate too much on an important issue and fail to take a stance. In order to command respect, be decisive. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Usually

Tiger takes win Tiger Woods took over sole possession of second place in alltime PGA Tour wins with a victory at Congressional yesterday. Woods shot a 2under 69 as Bo Van Pelt bogeyed the final three holes to finish one stroke back. Woods now leads the money list and FedEx standings this year. It was Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 74th career win, breaking the tie he held with Jack Nicklaus. Sam Snead holds the record with 82 victories.

Torre backs Clemens for Hall of Fame Former Yankees manager Joe Torre returned for yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Timersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day and, unsurprisingly, he was asked about Roger Clemens and his chances for being elected to the Hall of Fame. Clemens was recently cleared of eight perjury counts, but faces his next test in January when he is eligible for the Hall. It seems unlikely based on how extensively he was named in the Dec. 2007 Mitchell Report. Clemens won 83 games with Torre as manager from 1999-2003 and in 2007, but admitted that the questions will always persist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is [a Hall of Famer] to me,â&#x20AC;? Torre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make other people look at him that way. I can just tell you the way I feel. There is a question mark. There always will be.â&#x20AC;? Torre also said that like many Yankees, he disliked Clemens when he was an opponent on the Blue Jays and Red Sox; but once he joined the team, Torre said he regarded him like a son. METRO/LF

Rangers make minor, early moves

NYC’s #1 FREE DAILY

The first day of free agency was more notable for what the Rangers didn’t do than what they did, but they did add an infusion of toughness in the wake of Brandon Prust’s apparent exit. Prust, who led the team in penalty minutes as the squad’s main enforcer, reportedly signed a four-year, $10million contract with Montreal. That left the team with the immediate need to fill a

Asham signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Rangers. Prust made $800,000 last season, but wanted a large raise.

physical hole on their backline. They addressed it by resigning the 6-foot-4 Stu Bickel to a one-year, $1.5-million deal and adding former Penguins forward Arron Asham and Islanders brawler

Nets re-sign Wallace, look at Johnson trade Brooklyn brings back player acquired in midseason trade Now set sights on enticing Williams to return GARY DINEEN/NBAE/GETTY IMAGES

If you are going to surrender your top 10 pick for someone, it had better be for more than 16 games. Luckily for the Nets, that appears to be the case; they have reportedly come to terms on a four-year, $40-million deal with Gerald Wallace on the first day of the NBA’s free agency period. Deals cannot be officially signed until July 11. Brooklyn traded their top pick in last week’s NBA Draft for Wallace with 16 games remaining in the season, only to see him opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. Wallace averaged 15.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game on the Nets. While they have a deal with Wallace, the biggest fish of the season, Deron Williams, will reportedly speak to both the

Nets and Mavericks today. Williams will reportedly only sign with one of the two teams. If the Nets are going to entice Williams, they will need to add more talent and one of the rumored moves could come with the addition of former all star Joe Johnson of the Hawks. Dwight Howard appears to be out of reach, despite declaring his desire to be traded to the Nets, but Johnson is more reasonable. The Nets hope to pull off a trade for Johnson — once receiving assurances Williams will re-sign — including the expiring contracts of Johan Petro and Anthony Morrow. The sticking point on any deal is MarShon Brooks, who the Hawks want included, but the Nets are reluctant to part with. Wallace

Michael Haley. Asham had five goals and 11 assists last season in Pittsburgh, but also a healthy 76 penalty minutes in 62 appearances. Haley meanwhile is more fighter than skater, as he totaled 125 minutes in the box with Islanders’ minor-league affiliate Bridgeport last season. He likely won’t see much ice time for the Blueshirts unless his particular skills are required. MARK OSBORNE
