[Mel_13]

lol knicks

lol hawks

[MiamiHeat]

lol
knicks are lucky if they even get Amare

[sefant77]

lol hawks

lol knicks (but dont know, Knicks wasting years and tons of picks for max JJ would be fun too)

lol Rashard Lewis being happy

[KidCongo]

more like lol hawks IMO

Knicks strikeout and look but whats different. The Hawks aren't going anywhere.

[ginobme]

That's a blessing in disguise for the Knicks

[thedong]

Lol spurstalk

[Amarelooms]

lol at the Hawks....thank God he's off the market. Cuban better not even think of a sign in trade for his punk ass with a ridiculously horrible contract

[TDMVPDPOY]

this guy has done jack and gets another max contract, way overpaid for his services for what he brings to the court, i expect clowns who earn max money = franchise players who can get their teams deep into the playoffs, not first round fodder bs.

this is going to set the hawks backwards, al horfords contract is up next season anyway...they going to let him walk?

ps. whatever happen to that minority hawks shareowner who didnt wanna pay JJ that contract he receive from the hawks when there was a 20m downpayment for first year or some ...that guy must be tin himself if the hawks going to give this clown 120m

[Giuseppe]

That's a blessing in disguise for the Knicks

Yep, yep.

[redzero]

The Knicks won't grossly overpay Johnson, so this is good for them.

[Goran Dragic]

Yeah it's great for the Knicks. They're still gonna suck and they don't have their draft pick next year. Teams really covet being in the position they're in.

[timvp]

That's about double what he's worth but the Hawks were pretty much stuck. They let him walk and the return to mediocrity would have been hastened.

[redzero]

Or they could sign Johnson and have another Stephon Marbury on their hands.

And what Knicks fans wouldn't want another Stephon Marbury?

4 consecutive AS games = jack ?
2 straight 2nd round appearances = first round fodder?
Rashard Lewis, Jermaine Oneal = franchise players?

You've been watching too much anime brah

Well they have the cap room to get another two stars. It's not like when they maxed out their payroll to get Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

New York is ed. It doesn't look appealing at all anymore. Their best bet is Miller and Boozer now.

[Spurminator]

He has the best supporting cast of any of the big free agents and his team is still only slightly above average. A lot of that was bad coaching, but JJ is not a franchise player.

[Goran Dragic]

JJ is not a franchise player.

Neither is anyone in the NBA other than Lebron, Kobe and maybe Dwanye Wade. I guess that means no one besides those three should get max contracts.

[Giuseppe]

He couldn't even have a place on the Lakers. Who, who's he's going to replace 1-6? Nobody, that's who. And the chump would never agree to chump change so he'd have no place 7-15.

He's a loser in a winner's circle.

[Spurminator]

I didn't say he didn't deserve a max contract. That's the market. But he's not going to win you a Championship as your best player.

And there are a lot more than three franchise players.

[pauls931]

That's a blessing in disguise for the Knicks

Ditto, I can't believe how one playoff series bumped this guy into max salary talks. He's a good PG/SG, but not a Chris Paul or Deron Williams.

Yeah, they'll grossly overpay Stoudemire or Boozer instead.
