I think you may have jumped the gun a bit. It's best to wait until someone pulls that shtick to complain about it.If the Jazz got Durrant, the same people would say its horrible and stunting Hayward..its their shtick
I think I'm a fan of this, so long as he doesn't always start ahead of Rodney. I'm pretty sure he'll know his role though.
Man our bench offence just got so much better. Maybe he plays the 3 next to Alec?
Seriously though, can't wait to hear the takes of the chronic complainers.

Hood hasn't improved much.
Wow. If Stifle can't find anything to bitch about I'm not sure anyone will be able to.Well, surprise. I like the signing. Like the number of years. Decent price, too. Sends a message to current teammates and agents that Jazz are going to be wise with their money.
Johnson shot 44%/38% last year. He's no longer an all-star but can still be a scorer when needed. I assume he'll come off the bench, but he's capable of starting if Hood goes down. Certainly an upgrade over Johnson or Jingles.
Lindsey surprised me with this signing.
Flagrant, church-burning, flag-burning lie.
A lot of optimism right now, and that's great. But mark my words, JF will sour on him within a month.
Personally, I think it's an okay deal. A 35 year old chucker with decent stats for 11m. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Why do you say that?
Part of me is worried we are getting a good player just past his prime like with Raja Bell and Josh Howard. Guys I would have loved on the Jazz 3-4 years before they came. Hopefully he still has a little left in the tank. I was never as big of a fan of Johnson as a #1 or #2 option earlier in his career, but he's got a lot of talent. Has enough size to play the 4, and has/(had?) enough athleticism to play SG. Great fit if he comes in with the right attitude to mentor some of these guys. Is a career 37 % 3pt shooter. Could be higher as he probably won't be asked to create his own offense so much. I like the signing, especially with a 2 year deal.
How good of a defender was he last year? Is that something we need to worry about?
