    They might as well give it to him cause the Hawks wont be any better without him, I dont see this being a L just cause he had a bad playoff series he still played well during the season, just need more help

    Max Contracts Shouldnt be Thrown out Just because someone is a good regular season player, or a One Dimensional Player , My Definition of a Max player is someone who Can get you to the championship, someone u can build around for years...

    Joe Johnson is not that type of player, he doesn't Dominate, he doesn't Play defense, he's a Glorfied Number 2 player.

    As a Laker fan...I'M LOVING THIS OFF-SEASON.

    So long as Lebron stays his ass in Cleveland and doesnt end up anywhere near D. Wade we can get that 3-peat

    Of course thats why I said they need help, but they aint trying to let him go which is why that offered him that big ass contract they think he's worth it, and if Rashard Lewis can get one so can Johnson

    I still think he leavin though

    If they give him all of their money how will they pay the other guys?




    Terrible move by ATL though, I know they need to keep him because no one else is goin there but really? They would be better off signing to 8-9 mil players with that. They could pick up a lesser named SG to give em the same if not better playoff production.

Mike Bibby Starting and he looks so slow and Old out there............ this is why certain teams stay the same way , now you see why.

    Give him close to the max offer. I do think the Hawks need some front court scoring too.
