Although it is not yet official, it appears that Joe Johnson will be spending the next six years as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. Reports have come out of Atlanta that the four-time All-Star will resign with the Hawks for approximately $119 million over six years. Johnson's agent Arn Tellem published an article on the Huffington Post Website on Sunday, citing Johnson's loyalty to his community and teammates as the deciding factor in his decision.

Joe Johnson Agrees to Hawks’ Max Offer 2010 nba free agents, Joe Johnson | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Hawks, Knicks, NBA Rumors, NBA Transactions, NBA Free AgentsFive days after reports surfaced that the typically conservative ownership of the Hawks would be willing to pony up $119 million over six seasons to keep Joe Johnson, the All-Star two-guard has agreed to stay in Atlanta.

by Sam AmickFiled under: Hawks, Knicks, NBA Free AgentsWhen Atlanta offered Joe Johnson a maximum contract worth $119 million over six seasons on Thursday, the mere fact that the Hawks were so exorbitantly generous was supposed to be the end of the surprise. The double-shocker was that the 29-year-old guard didn't immediately accept the deal. But after some deliberation about whether it'd be better to play for New York or Chicago, two sources close to Johnson told FanHouse at 6 p.m. Pacific Saturday that he will make his final decision in the next day and that "barring a major change in the ...

If Knicks Can’t Get Joe Johnson, They’ll Settle for Mike Miller 2010 nba free agents, Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson Knicks, Mike Miller, Mike Miller to the Knicks | Comments Off
by Matt MooreFiled under: Knicks, NBA Rumors, The Bonus, NBA Free AgentsWhen Joe Johnson was primed to hit the big free agent market, most knowledgeable hoops writers rolled their eyes. It's not that Johnson isn't a good player. But he's 29, inefficient, and simply isn't at the same level of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the other max free agent. But there are times when that line of thinking can go too far. Such as thinking that Mike Miller is an acceptable substitute for Johnson. Which, naturally, is exactly what the Knicks are thinking of doing. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Knicks, Raptors, Suns, NBA Free Agents There is no one -- I mean, no one -- who doesn't believe LeBron James should get the most money an NBA player can be legally tendered. This generosity, of course, comes with limits, and these limits are called the salary caps. James is only eligible to earn X amount of money, based on the reigning Collective Bargaining Agreement and LeBron's tenure in the league. Bored yet? Here's the simple part: The NBA sets parameters for how much superstars like LeBron can be paid. The question is, what ...
