PaceRam Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Just curious if anyone knows if Joe Johnson was at Larry Drew's Press Conference. Probably no big deal if he wasn't but I would think if he was then that would show a lot of respect and support for Drew by Johnson and possibly could be a sign that Johnson is at least willing to talk to Drew and the Hawks about returning (of course, I do realize that most of Johnson's decision will come down to money).

Premium Member NineOhTheRino Posted June 15, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) No. JJ rarely attends non-mandatory events. In fact Joe didn't attend a few home games when he was out with a thumb injury. This case Joe probably doesn't want to give any signals of his FA plans. No sure but isn't he still on the team until July 1st? Edited June 15, 2010 by NineOhTheRino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksFan87 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 oh , I didn't see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I think the players like him. Bibby not being there is a small disappointment; JJ not being there is expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Last I heard, Joe was in LA over the weekend for a Jordan Brand event, doubtful he would fly the red eye for the press conference for many reasons. Possible Bibbs was with him considering that he's part of Jordan Brand also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe is not a team player and does not care about the team. Every game he missed, he wasn't even on the bench. Rare interviews from him aswell.

StateHawks46 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 This is what really irritated me with Joe.... Joe is not a team player and does not care about the team. Every game he missed, he wasn't even on the bench. Rare interviews from him aswell. Bingo. That's what I've in Joe for a few years. Joe's attitudes on and off the court is probably what is hurting team chemistry. He is a great player and we need him back. However, his attitude need to change. I don't think it will so I don't want to see him in a Hawks uniform again. Bibby was there. The pic from the AJC. He is on the right behind Mario West.

DrReality Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Drew said on the radio this morning he hasn't talked with JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSmith Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Would you guys relax. He might have been out of town... Crawful already said that Joe was in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member NineOhTheRino Posted June 15, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Drew said on the radio this morning he hasn't talked with JJ. probably good that Joe wasn't there. That was LD's time to shine. Had Joe been around all the attention would have shifted to his pending FA status.

AHawks89 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 No Johnson was not there, nor was Joe Smith. Everyone else ended up showing up before PC ended. From AJC: Hawks players said Drew will offer a distinctive style and approach different from Woodson. By the end of Drew's news conference, every player on Atlanta's 2009-10 roster except for Johnson and Joe Smith had filed in to show support.

HAWKSFAN89 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thats real cool and all, guess that shows his loyalty to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 lol Joe doesn't know what loyalty means, even if he goes to Miami there is no gaurantee it will work, or that they will beat the the top 4 teams in the east. Their big men will still suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99PROBL3MS Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Wow do you guys really think JJ is that bad of a guy? If you were him, would you have been there knowing you would be asked 1,000,000 questions about free agency? It would have been a huge distraction for Coach Drew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
