If you watched the games you would see that he would settle for jumpers. His creativity with the ball is lacking. With Jump shooter sometime a a hand in the face is all you need and in the playoffs the intensity goes up and he couldn't handle that intensity. I say Pass on Johnson don't even bother to bring him in not worth the money even if LeBron wants him. Chandler is better IMHO he is more versatile better defensively and more explosive next year Chandler gives you 18-20 points per game.
Joe Johnson has great handle. His issue is he moves like Ron Artest.
Interesting how you acknowledge a player has a problem and shows major red Flags yet you'll still clamor for them. Dude is playing like an Old Man. He 2 series to show what he has Top/Premium value in this league and he floundered big time.
I have stated my view numerous times on Joe Johnson already. If we hadnt trade our future picks I would have preferred tanking and doing a natural rebuild. Since we traded the picks there is no incentive to be bottom feeders for the next 2 yrs. Therefore Im all aboard for any guys that will at least get us to the playoffs for the next 2 yrs.
This is akin to you dumping a nice looking woman with Potential. Suggestions arise that you go after say someone like Alicia Keys. Only for you to say Alicia keys isn't that hot because you see Around The Way Girls like her in the Hood everyday, you're looking for something better. You end up settling for a woman slightly better than the one you gave up, who is missing a lot of what you like in a woman and isn't better than Alicia Keys nor clearly better than any of the ones in the hood. LOL @ CAN I BUS
I'd rather go the Golden State Warrior route and comb the D-League. Make smart decisions with the money instead of treading waters on Maxing Out a talent like Joe Johnson. Let Gallo and Chandler be our cornerstones until we acquire our assets back.
