WTF, just heard the news re: Joe Johnson. Is this life? Here I am, all excited because a pro team is going to be playing in my neighborhood, and they trade a first round pick for Wallace, and now trade for Joe Johnson's ridiculous contract. How is this possible? How?

How?

Broadway Joe knows how to fill seats by endearing himself to fans.

 

[StickSoldier]

Bleh

Lol, he's the Clips problem now, unless he plays good again, then fuck him.

 

[Adam Blade]

Did he just show up in the gym while no one was there?

Madelyn Burke: Odom: “the first thing I thought when I joined this team was ‘ok, good, now I don’t have to play against Blake Griffin’” #Clippers about 8 minutes ago

Presser.

 

[DY_nasty]

You can't trade Tim Duncan twice in the same deal.

LOL

 

[SamuraiX-]

Oh shit. All we have on the books next year are Teague and Horford...and a player option for Marvin.

Well, damn.

When was the last time things looked so promising for the Hawks? Really happy for you guys. Hopefully Ferry can continue his masterful trolling work.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Sebastian Pruiti is currently in the bargaining phase of depression, lol

 

[jobber]

He's trolling or clueless.

Meh..The Hawks the last 2 seasons were 1 serviceable point guard away from getting to the top tier in the east.

They passed up on D Will and Chris Paul. It's their own fault.

You crazy, son. Doesn't matter when Joe's bricking treys. We weren't going to get close to beating Miami. Our ceiling was taking Boston to 6/7.

Everyone wanted D Will except Billy Knight. And then we took Sheldon.

You need a metropolis Dwight! Stop being a bitch and come win a few titles with Rose.

 

[The Frankman]

People, who has Twitter? We need to bombard Dwight's account and guilt him to play for some small market team.

Ok, but there's having the ability to mkae moves (and fail) vs. being in cap Hell FOREVER. They got out themselves out of a MASSIVE contract they signed themselves, and now they can at least operate.

I see your point.


Is Josh Smith still trying to get out of town?

 

[Talon]

Josh only has one year on his contract. I.E. We are trading the hell out of him.

Call us, Morey.

 

[Matrix]

Last I looked he hadn't used his account since April. Yea he most likely reads his tweets, but you actually think he gives a fuck what anyone thinks at this point. I don't think he even understands what the word "guilt" means.

 

[The Frankman]

lol

I swear to God after Knicks resign Lin, Novak (maybe Fields?) watch their big FA signing be Bill Walker.

... I think I will abstain from GAF the whole offseason if that happens.

Good point.

I think Ferry said he'd be willing to deal Smith at the right price.

 

[DY_nasty]

The funny thing is Deron, JJdon'tgiveafuck, Zombie Wallace, and Bropez will still have a better record than the Knicks

Can't figure why Dwight won't consider Chicago a possible destination either. It makes sense if he wants a real chance at chipping but maybe he doesn't!

Teague more than qualifies as a serviceable PG.

Do you even watch any other team outside of the Spurs?

The Hawks were going nowhere with JJ as their flagship star/leader

On June 25, 2012, he accepted a position as the President of Basketball Operations and General Manager for the Atlanta Hawks.

Holy fuck this man works fast.

In just a week he's managed to relocate the 120 millionth wonder of the world and even got decent package out of it.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

ESPN reports that the meeting between the Dallas Mavericks and Deron Williams is officially over, and that Mark Cuban, Rick Carlisle and “special consultant” and former Maverick Michael Finley made their best pitch. Williams has set no time frame for his decision, but it probably became academic when he walked out of his meeting with the Mavs and saw the news below.(JJ to Nets deal)

.

 

[Smokey]

I come home and see that Joe Fucking Johnson is about to get traded.

GM of the year awready for Ferry

 

[darkside31337]

His shoe company don't want him and Rose on the same team.

 

[The Frankman]

[Reave]

And tomorrow, Dwight Howard will say he was misquoted about requesting a trade and will ask Orlando to roll the dice this season.

 

[cashman]

So are the mavs screwed?

 

[darkside31337]

The funny thing is Deron, JJdon'tgiveafuck, Zombie Wallace, and Bropez will still have a better record than the Knicks

It's a given. JJ + Wallace is only marginally worse than Melo + Stat and the rest of the roster comparison isn't even close.

 

[Mrbob]

His shoe company don't want him and Rose on the same team.

I heard this once before too. Is this seriously the reason? Adidas?

Yeah but it doesn't even make sense now. Dwight's marketing appeal has to have plummeted harder than anybody elses ever in the span of like a year.

 

[The Frankman]

I've been waiting for the "Nets will be better than the Knicks" offseason talk to come to fruition for like 2-3 years.

I can wait a little longer.

 

[Talon]

Dwight should go to Boston for one year before hitting the FA market. Then he can come back home to Atlanta and partner up with Horford for 5 seasons of ECSF/ECF losses.

 

[Red Blaster]

Multiple Sources Broussard was just on SC saying that Dwight just staying in Orlando is a real possibility

lawl

Out to Barclays to watch my boy Dwill pass it to JJ and piss off Lopez.

I'd believe it. Lots of cap space next season. He still cares about his image and the only way to even try to repair it would be to stay in Orlando long term at this point.

Henny should resign him then trade his ass once the ink is dry.

 

[The Frankman]

Better than the Knicks! Pop bottles!

You mean.

But actually the Knicks could be worse, they could've been the ones to sign Asik to 8+ plus. How happy are you Billy King wrestled the "most stupid GM of this offseason" award away from Morey?

I've watched over 200 games in 5 months man. Every team is starting to look the same.
I gave the Hawks a pass this year because of Horford going down. Even without him, they were still a top 4 team in the east.

 

[Raziel]

How good would a Dwill/JJ combo be though?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why the fuck would the Magic even trust him at this point?

 

[Brinbe]

I can definitely see Howard being stuck in Orlando now... but wow, that'd be real awkward, especially after he already pissed off every Magic fan.

Fuck that. If he signs and stays I'd forgive him. I think most fans would.

Billy King has far and away claimed that award.

Olshey's around there for that absurd Hibbs contract.

Nash (via $9M TPE) + Sessions + Blake

Mamba + Eyenga

MWP + Ebanks + Barnes

Josh Smith (via Pau trade) + McRoberts

Dwight Howard (via Bynum trade) + Hill

 

[AgentChris]

That Joe Johnson trade has to be one of worst trades of all time. I still can't believe someone wanted that albatross of a contract on thier books.
