Johnson gets a lot of shit but he never had a decent PG in Atlanta and had to create most of his offense (and plenty for his teammates) on his own. He's getting up there (31) but I like the tandem of he and Deron Williams in the backcourt together.<br /><br />As for Howard, he's an immature guy getting terrible advice from the people he presumably pays to advise him. Not many more ways he can make himself look worse. If the best offer Orlando can get is the reported New Jersey offer, they should just let him walk in free agency. There is no sense in tying up their cap room with a bunch of average to below average players. Clear the cap space from Dwight and start over. Better to bottom up right away than to wallow in mediocrity for a few years.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452158972739021104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-35092545045568011962012-07-03T16:47:22.222-04:002012-07-03T16:47:22.222-04:00You're right on Fields too, Jerry.
