You flamed me so hard for suggesting that we try and acquire Barbosa for Smith. You made me feel unwelcome on these forums, and I have not posted here in a while, and will continue not to post here. But this needs to be said. You're a jerk first of all. Maybe you feel it was a bad trade, but I still think that the Brazillian Blur would be a great fit for our team. He was making plays for the Suns today, and he was also scoring at will. Make him a starter on the Hawks and I think he would help our team out a lot, bring a winning attitude. His performance today showed exactly what I was trying to tell you. But you know everything, of course. Peace.

This is just so i can have 50 posts and leave on an even note.

We don't bash other new members; but when you come out trying to trade our 2nd best player who is only 21 years old (and is putting up PRIME AK47 numbers) for trash, and claim you know what you're talking about, you will get slammed for it. I'm sure you're cool in real life or whatever, but the trades you have proposed are ludicrous to say the LEAST. After that you come and say we should sign Shaq, it's hard to take you seriously.. If you feel we don't need Smith, that's FINE, but don't underestimate his trade value. Like I said that's fine that you guys disagree with me, but their is a way of being civil. It's soo cool to be a tough internet thug (not necessarily you Atlas)and personally attack someone for their views. Whatever you know what this is a message board, and I'm going to stop posting here, because I can't express my views without either being labeled some other former poster, or being harassed for my opinions. What happened to the good ol' US of A? This is joe_johnsons last post on hawksquawk... I never intended to piss people off the way I have been. So I'll do you all a favor and leave.

You know a couple of years ago The Magic had no pg and no center and ended up winning only 21 games.I Guess McGrady didn't make enough impact on his teams success either. Oh right... Smith >>>>> TMac because we've won more than 21 games. Good job.. you just proved his point.. And I guess in a "sense" (lol) he's proving mine.

The way he said let's make a bet and if you're right I'll never post here again. And the most obvious being calling the JJ trade a fleecing. This is hilarious. I agree on all counts. Also I find it hard to believe anyone who watches basketball at all would suggest the Hawks sign Shaq as a free agent. If you actually go back and read what I said, it was not this offseason. I was just saying how good he would be for our team, and the winning attitude he would bring. It's very unlikely... But these people are making it out to sound like I said let's go after him this summer. Actually you were talking about this summer, as can be seen by your quote. Quote: I think we should go after Shaq via free agency. We have the cap room to get it done . This guyh is a consistent winner, and I think he would like to end his career mentoring a young team. click Since you referenced our cap room you were clearly talking about this summer. Funny thing is we DON'T have the cap room for Shaq by a long shot. And our cap room will be gone in a year or two because he have to resign Smith. Your complete misuderstanding of our cap situation makes is another reason why your identity is questionable. And the idea that Shaq would like to mentor a young team is ridiculous. He is only interested in the playoffs and championship rings. No, because he becomes a FA in '10. And If you look at the structure of our contracts, we don't have any contracts going that far. So, with the right plan you could make a run at a big free agent in that year, and that's assuming that we do sign Smith. Hrrrrrk.

Quote: Numbers across the board in the way Smith is, at the age of 21. In other words, a PRIME AK47 at the age of 21. You do know who AK47 is right? That's an unfair thing to ask... Smith is a unique player. There are players at the age of 21 that have had way more of an impact on their teams success, but they are not Josh Smith clones.

Quote: Quote: The fact that you think we should sign Shaq this offseason tells me enough of your basketball "knowledge." I agree. Shaq isn't a free agent and even if he was he would never sign with a team like Atlanta in the position we are in. I will feel bad if he's not phx_suns but my guts are telling me he is. We'll see if the mods check some stuff. The funny thing is, I'm actually not phx_suns.. I don't know how I can prove it to you, but your gut is wrong on this one.

Quote: Quote: Name the last player at the age of 21 or less putting up numbers like that across the board, I'll wait.. I'm still waiting.. In what sense? Like similar numbers to Smith? Or better in other categories, but maybe not the blocks? Sorry, your request is vague.

Quote: I think Joe's biggest issue is that he isn't very bright when it comes to basketball issues. I think I will move along rather than ever read one of his posts. They are just too far out there. I always wonder why people who don't know jack about basketball post on this board. Why not post someplace where you might have some knowledge? Like a computer board or something. now you're being just rude. You could have easily just not said anything. It's really easy to be rude to people over the internet.

Quote: Quote: Diaw when he was a restricted free agent Diaw was never a RFA. no Johnson was the RFA was what I meant.

Quote: Quote: So let me ask you something, do you know everything there is to know about basketball I know far, far more than you my friend.. hahaha, the mere fact that you would make that assumption makes me wonder what you really know. Knowledge is definitely a concept that is thrown around rather loosely.

Quote: Quote: Quote: I'd like an admin or mod to check joe_johnson's IP and make sure he's not phx_suns under an alias or IP masking. Thanks. I'll make you a bet... I give any administrator permission to look at my email/ip/any information and disclose it to any user that thinks I used to post here under some other alias... If I am this other poster, I will never come back here again, but if I am not, you owe me an apology! Deal? I'm just a hawks fan, that has different views than what are popular here. Is it illegal for me to express my opinion?? I've never been rude or called anyone a name on these boards, yet i've repeatedly been harassed for my opinons. To me I see the Hawks franchise in a state of disorganization, and I truly think that people on these boards are over valuing Josh Smith a lot. You already said you consider the trade "a fleecing" so how much of a fan of Johnson can you be? Your syntax and wording is exactly the same as phx_suns not to mention the underlying scorn for Johnson and the Hawks. I hope the mods do check on this. If I'm wrong I'll apologize but if you masked the IP or are posting at work versus posting at home as you did before they can't really check it. I am calling you out now before we get to the lottery selection because there's no doubt in my mind you are phx_suns. Just come clean. Let me clarify, it's not a fleecing because we got Joe Johnson. He's an allstar, and by far the best player on the Hawks. It's only a fleecing because we gave up our picks and Diaw when he was a restricted free agent. We simply didn't need to give up that much. Nothing against Johnson as a player. Secondly, I have no idea how to mask an I.P., and if you look at some of my other posts, I have been posting at all different times of the day, so it's not at my job.. But seriously why do I even need to justify to you people that I"m not this phx_suns poster. Like I said I've notified the mods that you're accusing me of being this poster, and i've given them all an open opportunity to clear my name.
