Huge for the Hawks to get their main man back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 A guy who averaged 13.8 points in the 2nd round just got a max contract. The world today.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 At least the drama is over. This is what he plans on doing next according to his agent: For his next act, Joe plans to actively recruit other top free agents to Atlanta, a place not unlike his hometown, where he feels comfortable and appreciated.The Huffington Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 This will go down as one of the worst contracts in NBA history. Srs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Fly High Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 NO TOO MUCH MONEY FOR HIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I was shocked that the Hawks offered him $12M a season back when he was leaving the Suns. He has only slightly improved now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Crazy. There are only 3-5 players in this league worth a max contract. Joe Johnson is not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsguy9695 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Great move on Johnson's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Great move on Johnson's part. lol HELL yeah he is going to be making 20+ million when he is 35 years old. Signing JJ was a good move on the Hawks part but signing him to a 6 years 120 million dollar deal was a terrible move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STL10 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Worst contract in NBA history. This will even surpass T-Mac's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 A lot of money for a 2nd option player on a championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wow. I don't see any way Joe Johnson could have went elsewhere with the Hawks' offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 He's a fantastic player but wow. The Hawks will regret this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Noooo! Hawks would have been better off signing Childress and 2-3 other role players using the money instead. Ah well, this is the Hawks management we are talking about here so it come at no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenIverson#1fan Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 There arn't many teams out there that he can sign with that are better than the Hawks. He has a great team and a great [expletive] contract, what more can he ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great team and a great [expletive] contract, what more can he ask for?I wouldn't go that far bud. We may have finished well in the standings but we did get ROCKED by Orlando. There is a pretty big gap between us and the big boys like them and Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great team and a great [expletive] contract, what more can he ask for? IMO, this current Atlanta squad has reached their ceiling. They're not going to be better than 3rd in the East. IMO, a Bosh/Wade tag team in Miami will be better than the Hawks and the Bulls, depending on what they do could be better as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
