Hawks Interested in Resigning Ivan Johnson

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

In an article about Teague's return:

The Hawks’ return of Kyle Korver and signing of Paul Millsap should be lauded moves, and they reached agreement with Elton Brand on Tuesday. Even so, the Hawks maintain interest in re-signing Ivan Johnson, a league source told RealGM.

I hope they bring ole 9 to 5 back. He was our energy spark off the bench and I am thinking Brand will used as our backup center.

I hope he's only a backup plan to bringing in a legit weak side shot blocker / rim protector.

One can't have enough PFs.

Carroll/Ivan combo would be fun to watch but I do agree with nitte... Seems like we're getting a few too many PF's.

I would have rather we gone after Jeff Pendergraph than Ivan. Unfortunately the Spurs just snatched him up on a 2 year deal.

I love Ivan But I feel like its Scott's time to shine hes a lot more fundamentally sound and could possibly get time at the 3 this season too

Mike Scott should be the one coming back.

LOL back to back posts by guys with the same thought about Scott who have Jenkins as their avatar in nearly the same pose...

Brand said he is playing center with only spot pf minsSo pf is Millsap/horford/Scott but Millsap/Scott will play mins at sf as well

I think it need to whip ip a new JJ12 avatar/sig and join the club! lol

I'm looking for a new avatar perhaps I will join them...although I'm leaning heavily towards German chocolate right now...or maybe even cow Korver

He (Brand) averaged 2.1 BLK per 36 mins last year and so I guess he is the shot blocker/rim protector.

Brand is a man defending shot blocker. He's not really a weak side shot blocker who can roam and block like a Dalembert / Tyrus Thomas can.

Brand/Ivan/DMC on the floor at the same time would be fun to watch. And no fun to try and penetrate.

yeah we need more PF's. after that let's trade for a PF. Then next year we can draft a PF so we can address our PF position..

FYI the Spurs had 4 guys listed as PF's last year and 2 guys listed as C's. Diaw could slide down and play SF (like Scott will regularly and Millsap will from time to time) and Splitter played most of his minutes at C (like Brand will regularly and Horford will from time to time). I can see a big need for another 4/5 but probably not someone who is strictly a 4.

Drew Gooden was just waived.

It was just a joke

Yes I understand you were joking but you clearly feel that we have too many PFs.
