Joe Johnson Coming to Utah

I like what he will bring to our team... a better scoring option then Hill, Dudley or Deng. He will produce and get us into the playoffs
 
LOVE IT!!! LOOOOOOOVE IT! Awesome move! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Better than anybody else we've been linked to. Joe Johnson was bad on his 20M contract in 65M capspace. Joe Johnson is AWESOME for 2x11 in 100M+ capspace.

He's a bit on the older side, but hopefully he won't completely fall off the map in the next two years.

BTW an interesting bit of trivia - Joe Johnson was Rodney Hood's favorite player growing up. Here's a picture of 12 year old Rodney taking an autograph from Joe Johnson:

I can't wait for Boler/Harpring to tell this Hood/Johnson story every single game.
 
If we get the same out of Joe Johnson that Miami did last year, 2 yrs 22 mil is a god-damn bargain.
 
Look at the versatility we now have:

Three point lineup:

Hill
Johnson
Hood
Hayward
Lyles

Defense:
Exum
Hill
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

Uptempo
Burks
Hood
Hayward
Johnson
Gobert

Veteran
Hill
Johnson
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

We matchup vs everyone. Snyder has to be giddy tonight with all the possibilities.
