Cobb Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution Hawks captain and All-Star Joe Johnson said he will not sign a contract extension with the Hawks and will play out the final year of his contract this season. Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Hawks extended a four-year, $60-plus million contract offer to Johnson this summer. But Johnson said he decided not to sign the extension after mulling it over during the offseason. By not signing Johnson will enter a deep free agent crop next summer headlined by reigning MVP LeBron James as well as fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.Smart move on his part. He knows that some teams are really interested in him and will pay him a lot. I'm interested to see how our front office will react when the offseason rolls around next year.

BlueDevil Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Jamal Crawford could be an ok replacement if Joe leaves.Really? sorry but if JJ leaves, look for a HUGE drop off for the hawks. The only thing that could save them is a monumental year from J-Smith. For the hawks sake, i hope he stays... or goes to the Raps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
