GABALLA Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 So, either I'm just lucky or I just make more scene than half the people on this site. How about this, I'm a GSU student and while leaving class an hour ago I'm walking to my car parked across the street from Walters shoe store and guess who I see stepping out of his car and heading towards me.....Joe Johnson! Now this had to be too good to be true, the first thing that popped into my mind was lets see what JJ has to say about trading Josh Smith. So as he crosses the street and comes towards me I shout "HEY JOE JOE, WHAT'S GOOD" he replies "hey what's going on man", we exchange pleasantries and he proceeds to walk into the store. So I go in with him and he says he will take a pic for me and give me an autograph, now that was cool and all but I had one thing on my mind and one thing only... what are the hawks off-season plans and his thoughts on smith. After the pic and autograph we just talking about shoes, basketball, etc and then I asked him "so what do you think will be some of the hawks moves to come up?", he says "Well I'm defiantly going to try and get some guys to come to Atlanta, I think the fans deserve it from me and the team." After his reply I was just yeah that what's up and then I asked him "So what is this nonsense about trading smoove" and he proceeded to give the most bull**** look you have ever seen, it was hilarious, then he said "what do you think?" all I could do is lol and sarcastically say right! So in more words or less he basically called Bull**** on the smooth trade crap and said not a chance in hell!!! Topic Over. I know that kills some of you "FANS" hoop dreams but dreams are meant to be broken lol so go to sleep!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, I'm sure JJ knows EXACTLY what Rick Sund is doing 24/7 regarding who is contacting him about Smoove and what Sund thinks about Smoove. As for the rest of your story, cool bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenzy Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ok, he could have just given you that look because he didn't want to speak on it. Thats cool though that you got to meet him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 You would have to think Joe requested some trades, or something to happen. You don't give a guy 120 million dollars, and not let him know what's going on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cool story bro. You should of asked him who is he thinking of calling to bring to the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.........but this proves nothing. NBA players simply don't tell people they meet in a shoe store the inner working of their locker room or their inner thoughts on their teams roster. Glad you got to meet him though and glad JJ is so cordial to fans in public. Edited July 6, 2010 by coachx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted July 6, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Soon as I get my $120 mill I'm heading straight to Walter's, first place I go. That aisle of lime green Air Force Ones is mine. ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhay610 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hmm I'd like to hear how Joe is gonna recruit guys when we are capped out. Maybe he could forgo or defer a few of those Brinks trucks coming his way. :snowballfight: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 6, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'll feel a lot better about this thread once he posts the picture w/ Joe. But until he gets his picture taken with Sund and gets that "b-s" look from him, I think I'll wait to see what happens. Joe's opinion matters. But ultimately, he doesn't get an actual vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GABALLA Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I call horse s*** on this one That's fine I knew some people would, I know where I was and what happens. me and my friend both took a pic with him with my homeboys blackberry. it doesn't really matter because now that I think about it he might of just been talking, so I don't know only time will tell... but his face did read bull.

GABALLA Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 i dont bileve it i think its made up show us the pics and autograph seeing as much as you believe everything you read about trades and your hoop dreams, out of all the people you would be one of the ones to hear about an actual event and question it. Why am I not surprised!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank966 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Nice. I met Smooe last yr at the Apple Store and he said Bibby was a goner. A few weeks later he signed long-term. Players on hear what is on the internet unless its one of their budies. And Smoove has no idea if he is being shopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsuteke Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 No. Wrong answer grasshopper. The correct move - if you don't have a pic - would be to find a pic of jj and some random shmuck on the internet and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
