I understand the premise that letting JJ go and getting Finley isnt TOO bad short term (although finley is not a starter on a champs team IMO and he is no where near as versatile) but i am one of the people who thinks Joe is going to grow into one of the top 3 players at his position and a top 10 -12 player overall (by the way in my suns world amare in numero uno on that list) in just a short amount of time. But to all of you who are looking at Atalanta and saying "EEWWW" or no way he will go there you have to look at it from a players perspective.....
$$$$$$- we can offer more but if atlanta is offering as much as they can and the suns are offering more but not the max....well athletes are humans to. they want to be needed and that goes a long way.
Focal point-JJ immediatly becomes the focal point of this team and with two young forwards in Williams and Smith they could actually be pretty formidiable in a few seasons. JJ gets the bulk of the shots and they could him in the backcourt with salim and not really have to worry about defense (and mark this down salim WILL be starting for that team by the end of the year) JJ would score 25 a game with 5 and 5 in the other big categories. But more importantly its his team and he will get the credit for turning around the franchise, no matter how good williams and smith turn out to be.
Atlanta- Every young black athlete would love to live in Hotlanta and remember the proximity to arkansas. Joe is a big family guy and he relies on the familiar more than most athletes.
Saying all this, the guy is my favorite player in the league and i will be pretty devastated if he leaves no matter who they bring in. If joe reads these posts, please dont go man. You and Amare could be next big thing and be the definition of a franchise with no rings currently. the suns need to step up and get him signed because im going to be pissed if i have to read atlanta scores on the bottom line next year and i see this: J Johnson 28 pts 6 asts 5 rebs GW FG w/ 2 secs left. And trust me we will be seeing that ALL year.....
