    But seriously do you guys think we are going to dangle Johnson in front of other GMs to entice them?

    I agree. Johnson has range to 3 with the ability to finish high above the rim. As with any rookie his defense isnt very good, but with some added weight and conditioning I feel he could be a surprise for this team. Canaan is a nice player, but he doesnt have the physical tools that Johnson has.

    fwiw: Morey has two Johnsons as members of the Vipers, and the other one is longer.

    Are any other GM's even interesting in probing Johnson?

    A hardened/Johnson is something I believe will push our backcourt further. Johnson should watch film to work on his positis

    At the NBA trade deadline, other teams will most likely be evaluating one another as potential partners. We're fortunate to have a Johnson to dangle out there.

    McHale also started an undrafted rookie in Tarik Black over the veteran Joey Dorsey. I really don't know where the myth that McHale doesn't play rookies comes from.

    I've seen Johnson play all 3 slots, so extended minutes at the 2 slot shouldn't be a problem. Where he lacks in size he makes up for with strength and athleticism, I just wish McHale would give him a chance to bust out. I'm sure Johnson is dying get out there and do what he does best -- elevate and play hard. Given the chance, before we know it, our Johnson will have a compilation of facials all over the internet.

    Harden-Johnson in the back could do a lot of penetration and explosive finishes at the bucket.

    It's obvious at this point that Johnson doesn't measure up. However, once he learns to play with more patience and shoots at the right time, there will be no stopping him.

    Hard to believe he could ever be that solid.

    I'm glad someone said it. We've all been thinking it.

    Give Terry a sabbatical until the trade deadline and run with Cannan/Johnson see what we got.

    Rough outing for the C-Ball but man he was fire earlier.

    I definitely think Harden could rub off on Johnson, as long as each guy gets enough touches

    Maybe semi-solid then? He definitely won't be a complete flop.
