Joe Johnson Coming to Utah

[Siro]

2 year 22 million. :/

 

[SCS]

I'm fine with this deal, he's going to provide some good depth.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Hmm. Alright.

I like it. My three goals for Utah were:

1 - starting PG. Check. Enter Hill.
2 - Get a starting level wing to push Hood. Joe Johnson is that. He may not beat out Hood, but he is good enough to start. I like it.

All that is left is #3: A backup big who can hopefully hit a three.

I like it.

Hood's first autograph

 

[kabenac]

Not terrible. First time in a long time he'll be coming off the bench - reduced minutes could help his game. Bolstering our bench. Plus he's been healthy the past few seasons.

 

[Hedda Gambler]

So we`ve added Exum, Hill, Mack and Johnson to the team that started last out last season. This could be very good.

Hopefully that is Lyles. . .

Not sure Mack is returning.

I'm much happier to have Johnson at 2 yr/$22million than Jared Dudley at 3 yr/$30 million.

 

[FabioJazz]

Just 2 years. Nice deal.

Joe Johnson was a great player. At this moment he could be a good piece in the second unit. I like.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He can shoot, so cool.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

A bench lineup so far of Exum/Burks/Johnson/Lyles/Withey

If Lyles and Exum turn the corner and start showing us their game this could be a deadly 2nd unit.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

What, no Durant? DL sucks and should be fired.

 

[Rgiss]

Gave him 8 Mill less than what we offered Dudley.

I get hyped easy, but HYPE

 

[Kyoto]

Nice, I thought he was brutally underrated while with the Hawks. It was a lifetime ago that he was an all star but he can still play. Nice pickup

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

Seriously though, can't wait to hear the takes of the chronic complainers.

If Johnson can do what he did in Miami, it wouldn't shock me if he started. 52% FG, 42% 3pt%, 13 pts/game. Let him start, play 25 mins a night. Have Hood command the bench unit and play 30 mins a night.

Johnson could come in and spread the floor and open it up. You'd have Hill, Johnson, Hayward, Favors, Gobert. Johnson would give Favors and Gobert a lot more room in the paint.

 

[FabioJazz]

A lot of improvement
In:-> Joe
Out:-> Chris
