Bucher just said he thinks Johnson and Amare are going to stay with their teams. He said this might be the most anti climatic free agency year when it is all said and done.

I Don't think Bucher Knows what he's talking about. I don't think there's anyway in heck JJ3 stays in ATL after that meltdown and subsequent fan reaction to his play and comments. I also think that Tellem wants JJ3 in NY for financial and professional reasons. The Guy can make more of court money and be on a team that has a better chance to win with a style that should allow him to post even better stats. I really think JJ3 wants to move on to bigger and better things.

Maybe they are trying to up his value for a sign and trade. Are there any dumb bunny owners that would overpay and sign and trade for Joe? Hmmm.

Atlanta's problem is they need to dump Marvin Williams. Then they can slide Smith to SF and Horror to PF where they belong. Atlanta would be solid if they could trade for Al Jefferson.

Horford
Smith
Johnson

Wow I cannot believe Atlanta offered a 6 yr max deal. Pure insanity. Reportedly they offered it because they are trying to sell the team and will not be paying his future salary.

League exec. says ATL owners thought for offering Joe Johnson max deal is they won't still own Hawks at end of contract to have to pay it.

Joe would have Richard Jefferson like balls to turn that deal down. Absolutely nuts that he would be offered that contract.

It's over at the Fairmont. Long Joe Johnson meeting ends at 11:45 p.m. Pacific. "We're just trying to do the best we can,'' sez D'Antoni.

Man this is nuts! I can't sleep with all this going on. Wish I could see their faces as they left the meeting just to maybe get a clue as to how things went. What I would give to be a fly on the wall at these meetings

Meh. Why are they wasting so much energy on this guy and not Bosh? I mean c'mon man. And they better sleep very well tonight for tomorrow. THAT's the big fish. Not Joe f'n Johnson.

Odds of Joe Johnson turning down an extra 30 million is ZERO.

We are getting Arenas.
