So he's going to come off the bench on another mediocre team? Don't get it.

I'm sure people are going to hate me saying this, but I don't think Williams gives a lot worse production the Johnson on a per minute basis. Worse defense, not the rebounder, and obviously isn't a real PG, but I just don't feel like Johnson's value is all that high.

Good pickup

I rather have Williams at what he's making than Johnson with that contract that's for sure.

Man.....come on.

I get that people think Joe Johnson is overpaid, but this is just ridiculous.

It's not even about the $. He's just plain over rated on top of being over paid. He is consistently awful in the playoffs. I'd definitely take Johnson over Williams, but the difference is not large by any means.

Production is very similar. Joe is not a good rebounder for his size and doesn't get to the line at all. I would say Lou is just as good of a scorer as Joe. Maybe even better considering he gets to the line consistently.

Oh I forgot Joe is an all-star and Lou isn't.

Joe averaged 18/4/4 on 45% shooting last year during the regular season, and 17/3/3 on 35% shooting in the playoffs. How good do you think he is exactly?

Not to mention that he has no basketball IQ and is merely a decent defender.
