Ivan Johnson agrees to one year deal

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

I like it. With Ivan and Stevenson we have attitude on the court and the locker room. Al will have to get grown around those guys. We are moving towards a tough team. Josh will be playing some 3. DS can play the 3 and Korver is a gritty man defender at the three. Anderson and James may force a trade but I like DS and Ivan both on this team.

And if you add Pachulia to that list, we have the nastiest bench in the league. Could you imagine all three of them on the floor at the same time. Bad Boys Atlanta. lol

Saw this little blurb today: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/20184669/report-ivan-johnson-signs-with-atlanta

"If Johnson can get his mind in a professional set, he could help the Hawks considerably this season, with Zaza Pachulia having struggled last season and Al Horford getting back into top condition after an injury held him out until the playoffs"..

I guess Zaza struggled last season...

That's news to me. I'm not optimistic about Ivan providing a lot for us but i hope i'm wrong. It'd be nice to see him defend the paint the way Haslem does.

He must've seen just the end of the Denver game.

Ivan signed, Williams waived. Figured that was coming:http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2012/09/17/hawks-request-waivers-on-jordan-williams/?cxntfid=blogs_hawks

I'm actually surprised that Williams got waived. I think he had a shot to be a serviceable scrub in the league.

Was iffy with Scott getting at least a year guaranteed and Ivan coming back, rotation would of been tough to crack....that and he enjoys his BBQ I hear.

I can't wait to hear Bob & Nique again.

The difficulty for Ivan Johnson taking the Hawks Qualifying Offer - he's restricted again next year too

That is good for the Hawks!

Williams was never going to contribute to the team
