Agent: Johnson chooses to stay with Hawks
Basketball Betting Lines
07/04/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arm Tellem, writing in his weekly sports
column for the Huffington Post, said Sunday that free-agent guard Joe Johnson
intends to re-sign with the Atlanta Hawks.
Johnson received a six-year, maximum dollar contract offer from the team he
has played for since signing as a free-agent with them in 2005.
According to Tellem, Johnson came away impressed enough from his meeting with
Larry Drew, the Hawks' new coach and former Atlanta guard, and the owners of
the team and their commitment to building a championship-caliber team to turn
down the chance to play elsewhere.
The 29-year-old Johnson had also entertained offers from the Chicago Bulls and
New York Knicks.
Johnson led the Hawks to 53 wins last season and a first-round playoff victory
over Milwaukee in seven games before Atlanta bowed to Orlando in four games in
the second round of the post-season.
He averaged 21.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in 76 contests
last season
Over nine seasons with Boston, Phoenix and Atlanta, he has averaged 17.6
points, 4.2 boards and 4.5 assists per game.
