Pregame podcast #9 - Where Joe Johnson is Overpaid

by Seth Pollack on Jan 12, 2009 7:54 PM MST in Phoenix Suns: Game Coverage

For this pregame podcast we hear from Brett of the blog Peachtree Hoops.

Brett is an infinitely reasonable blogger as you will hear until he dropped this bomb on me. I asked with all the sarcasm I could muster if he felt like Suns fans regarding the Joe Johnson trade. The response that the Hawks gave up too much for J.J. was a bit, shall we say, shocking.

Beyond that surprising discussion point, we got deep into the Hawks and I learned a lot about a team that I don't get to see play that often. You might find that interesting as well. Or you might fall asleep listening. Let me know.

Thank you Brett.

This rumor is crap

Look at the source:

I’ve heard speculation about such a possibility around the NBA and recently heard from e-mailer Stephen in Phoenix raising it as well. It’s an intriguing proposition.

Then it ended up here where they turned it into this:

In other news, NBA.com is reporting that a Steve Nash to Toronto deal could happen pretty soon.

Great way to get traffic to your web site. That’s it.

ummm...

Trading your overachieving, malcontent all-star forward for the greatest big man of the modern era, even if he is almost 100 years old? OK.

Trading your no-longer overachieving, malcontent 2-guard for a younger, 3-point shooting slam-dunk champ? OK.

Trading your 2-time MVP, fan-favorite, he’s slipped a little but still in the top 3 at his position point guard for a younger but clearly inferior version just as the team is building momentum? That’s Toronto fan grasping at straws as their season sinks into the muck.
