I haven't seen one fanbase that actually wants to sign JJ to a max deal.

 

[The Young One]

Knicks are supposedly gonna offer him a max.

 

[Mexi]

^looking like around 5/92M

i read somewhere it says he would take less, but i misread. just means the hawks can offer him a max of 27M more than the Knicks max

stupid. Johnson is good, but damn. he'll be 29 next year, and soon that contract is going to be a pain

Walsh is under a lot of pressure. he HAS to make a splash. too bad

Cavs coaching search is nearing an end, sources say, with Brian Shaw scheduled to meet in Cleveland this afternoon and tomorrow morning. 14 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Dont know if this was already posted...

The Magic are believed to be active in trade talks and Ken Berger of CBS Sports writes that acquiring Gilbert Arenas from the Wizards is a "definite possibility."

Orlando general manager Otis Smith has a good relationship with Arenas, but center Dwight Howard might question how Arenas fits in with the team's scheme.

Im guessing the package would include VC, but Idk how well this would work for the Magic since they already have Nelson, unless they planned on puting Gil at SG, it could work since they run a "small" line-up.

 

[The Young One]

Eh I dont really like that trade for orlando at all. Gil just wouldnt really fit imo.

The key line in Wojnarowski’s story is this: “Johnson is determined to get the sixth guaranteed season on a contract that could only come with re-signing in Atlanta or a sign-and-trade arrangement, sources say.” This is along the lines of what I’ve been saying all along, that guys just don’t leave $25-$30 million on the table. The signals being sent out by J.J,’s camp are clear: If Atlanta offers the most cash, Johnson will re-sign. If not, he will look elsewhere. What’s not clear is if the Hawks are willing to pay J.J. the max if that’s what it takes to keep him.

He's not worth a MAX I don't think.

 

[$tunna]

He's not worth a MAX I don't think.

He's gonna get it from somebody tho. I kinda doubt him going to the Knicks tho. The expectations for him would be too much. Plus NY fans are alot more harsh when you play horribly then ATL fans lol.

 

[cruzg24]

I hope we dont get Joe Johnson, he isnt leader material. And right now we need a leader like Lebron, Wade, or even Dirk.

SMH, you should take anything you can get, YOUR THE KNICKERBOCKERS.

New Warriors jersey:

Meh...better than the "Rocketeer" era sh_t. Still can't believe they are using the SAME exact font .snowy used in his Warriors' re-design concept, back in 2009.

Those are sick.

Maybe someone from the Warriors' front office is on SI? :huh2:

 

[Mooche]

I like that design for the jerseys. I think they look real nice.

snowy has said this before, these teams are getting lazy when it comes to fonts. look at the Thunder

but the jersey is cool. reminds me of the old ABA Nuggets, with the logo just slapped on

mixed with the old rookie Reggie Miller Pacers uni mixed with todays pacers unis

and http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=yffglwo7zwrcec667yrviopl6

but its cool overall. gonna look pretty sweet on their new court....which they copied from the old L.A. Forum

Livingston to the lakers...you heard it here first.

would be pretty sweet

i love Shaun. ever since I first saw him on his draft. his highlights were nuts
always loved him with the Clips too

he improved his shot, and has always been a solid defender. i hope you're right

Amare to Blazers?

 

[cruzg24]

Amare to the Knicks?
