He won't grab 11-12 a game, not with Crash out there getting 6-8 a night himself. But if the Croatian starts then I don't think 8-9 from Brook is unreasonable.

Harden and Monta are the only SGs I'd consider over Joe. Although Harden isn't better than Joe right now, his ceiling is pretty high. Manu is too injury prone at this point in his career and is probably the 2nd or 3rd most important player on his team. Iggy is on the same as level as Joe, being that they aren't dominant #1 options and don't take their teams deep into the playoffs. Any word on Iggy leaving Philly?

[h1]Congratulations, You Are Chris Broussard’s Source[/h1]
Perpetual late-comer Chris Broussard hasn't had a good evening with his "sources." Earlier this evening, he was comically slow on the news that Deron Williams had re-upped with the Brooklyn Nets to the tune of five years and $100 million. How did we know Williams had agreed to staty with the Nets? Williams tweeted it himself.
Then, just a little while ago, the Phoenix Suns announced they had signed Hornets guard Eric Gordon to a four-year, $58 million offer sheet. How did we all find out? Gordon released a prepared statement:
That was posted at 7:20 pm Pacific time. This is Broussard seven minutes later, from his iPad:
Six minutes after that, he tweets what is portrayed as a personal note from Gordon:
Hmm. Let's go back and take another look at that prepared statement Gordon released through the Suns:

Why do I feel like if Joe Johnson wasn't overpaid, people wouldn't be considering these guys better than him?
Sure, I would take Harden over him long-term. But, Joe is currently the better player. The same thing with Gordon and with his injury history, I'm not sure if I would want him long-term anyways.

yeah it's hard for people (myself included) to separate Joe Johnson the player with Joe Johson 'the horrible contract'
strictly basketball wise he's a top 4 SG (but with that being said the SG position is awfully weak right now)

Brook has one bad rebounding year but before that he was over 8 rpg. It isn't great but it's not horrific. It's funny how 2 less rebounds COMPLETELY changes the perception of a player. Lopez is no scrub. Hopefully his foot thing is no big deal because he's one of the most offensively gifted bigs in the league period.

You act Joe Johnson has been the model of health these last few years.
He's a solid player but that's it. Gimme Gordon over him allday.

Neither one of them have and that's my point.

Since 03-04 JJ has missed like 50 games.....
Gordon has missed more than double that in 4 years

The same with the Center position IMO. Only a handful of fundamentally sound big men left in todays game.

Well, he only missed 6 games last season. Only 24 games over the last 5 seasons. He's been pretty healthy. Gordon has already missed twice as many games as Joe in his 4 year career.Originally Posted by SneakerPro

I mean, he missed 57 games in the 11-12 season, 26 games in the 10-11 season, 20 games in the 09-10 season. That's not good when you're only 23 years old. How you've already missed over a 100 games in a 4 year career with 1 season being short? That's terrible.
What makes Joe Johnson just a "solid" player? So, we consider 19,4 and 4 "solid"? Joe does a little more than just score. He can fill up the stat sheet with rebounds and assists. Also, let's not act like he's a terrible defender. He's at least an average defender and has great size for his position. There aren't many SG's in the league (if any) that will overpower him or have a size advantage.
I'm not even sure why people would take Ellis over Joe. When has Ellis been the no.1 option on a playoff team? People have to realize that Joe was the no.1 option in Atlanta over the last 5 seasons. Did he get to the ECF? No. But, he took them to the 2nd round many times and kept the team relevant each season. IMO, he's in a similar situation Pau was in when in Memphis (except Pau was younger). People criticized Pau in Memphis because he couldn't get his squad out of the 1st round after 3 straight seasons. You put Pau next to an elite player and people start calling him the best PF in the game. Maybe people feel like Deron Williams isn't elite anymore, for whatever reason that may be. But, I feel like Joe will be a lot better with Dwill next to him in the backcourt.
