SpearsNBAYahoo

Toronto Raptors have reached agreement to sign centre Amir Johnson to a five-year, $34 million deal, agent Kevin Bradbury tells Y! Sports.

[benefactor]

What the hell is wrong with these people?

[resistanze]

:lmao

[spurs_2108]

Who the hell is this guy and is he worth it?

[noob cake]

6.8m for Amir???????????????

No wonder everyone is opting out.

[MI21]

That is a ridiculous contract. Amir has potential, but come on...

[RsxPiimp]

6 Pts 5 Rebs lol


I guess Richard Jefferson knows what he's doing. If Amir, Salmons and Gooden can get these figures, then I would be shocked if RJ dont get at least $45 Mil.

[slick'81]

That is a ridiculous contract. Amir has potential, but come on...


agreed he could improve but a deal like this on straight potential no wonder their the raptors

[Goran Dragic]

:lmao Bryan Colangelo

[Brazil]

the numbers are crazy

now I look like a fool when I thought rj was stupid for opting out

[Dro210]

I was a big fan of Amir and his potential when he was in Detroit. I didn't really get to see him play in Toronto this last year.... but $34mil? lol. No way.

[resistanze]

:lmao Bryan Colangelo

I think it should be clear right now that he hates Toronto and his only goal is to set the city back another decade. Maybe in an attempt to relocate the franchise.

89 million between Turkoglu and Amir Johnson.

[Cane]

What the hell do they put in the water in Canada.

[j.dizzle]

What recession? :lmao

This spending dates back to Phoenix, it's just the way he is. If not for Isiah Thomas the Suns woulda been a lottery team the last 6 years.

[JamStone]

Wtf

[resistanze]

Somebody fucking shoot him.

[Chieflion]

Fail.

[sribb43]

Wonder what kind of deal I can get this offseason? :lmao

[scampers]

Wow... go Amir.

But :lol Toronto.

Now he wants to pawn Hedo off on sombody else.

[resistanze]

All I could do is smh. I didn't think anyone could surpass Ryan Babcock in the shitty GM department. His moves in the past 3 years are worse than when Babcock traded Vince Carter for a bag of Skittles.

[baseline bum]

I thought this was a troll thread like Lefty's Gasol trade, but it's fucking legit! What the fuck?

"step away from your crack dealer" is sooooo 2008.....oh wait...

Imagine what it was like having a decade with him as GM when he took over a team that was a blown 3-1 lead away from winning a title.

[The Franchise]

Imagine what it was like having a decade with him as GM.

I thought his daddy was calling the shots in Phoenix?

[Danny.Zhu]

That's crazy. Everyone gets overpaid.

[timvp]

I knew BC was a horrible GM ... but damn. At least this makes Bustnani's contract a bit prettier in comparison.

Amir is a fun player to watch and still has potential ... but damn.

Damn.

[Goran Dragic]

I thought his daddy was calling the shots in Phoenix?

No, daddy decided to hand him the job in 1995 right after the Suns would have won a championship if not for Barkley deciding to get drunk the night before games once they took a 3-1 lead on Houston. Fuck you're a Rockets fan you don't need this explained to you.

He kicked off his illustrious career in Phoenix with the infamous Dan Majerle for John "Hot Rod" Williams exchange. The Suns finally got the big man they needed :lol Only a year with him as GM was needed before they dropped from contention and traded Barkley for scraps.

[timvp]

This is almost as bad as the time Colangelo used potential cap space to absorb the last year of Rasho's contract. I'm still stunned that's how he decided to use cap space.

Rumors is that he's calling Amare...:lmao

Yeah fucking right.

[The Franchise]

I checked the Raptors board at realgm, and they actually think it's a good signing. I guess if you are used to receiving 10 inches, 5 doesn't seem so bad. :lol

[Goran Dragic]

So do the Raptors still have the cap room to give Channing Frye that deal he wants, BC would be doing the Suns a huge favor :lol

[tomtom]

What the fuck is going on :lol

[Chieflion]

More than Drew Gooden. This is hilarious.

[sefant77]

I thought they would finally try to get Gortat out of Orlando. Getting a real center so they can move Bargnani to PF.

[Agloco]

lol full MLE+ a bag of chips for Amir

[spursfan1000]

Lmao raps!

[angelbelow]

damn that sucks

[MavDynasty]

the fuck?

[jonnybravo]

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Owners: "ZOMG WE NEED A CAP!"

Seriously, 90% of ownership and GM's need beatings. It's so gd stupid.

In a year, you'll hear these same bunch of billionaire dirtbags cry about how much players make and how broke they are. The sad part in all this? The vast majority of you fucks will side with the owners.

[ata]

Colangelo seems to be Isiah Thomas 2.0
I've already written earlier this year: Toronto is one of worst managed NBA teams

[EricB]

Uh, Jason Kapono ring any bells? :)

[Kamnik]

I am a 6 foot 2 center... maybe I could get 1-2 million a year?

DO IT RAPTORS!
