Good fit for the backup PF and small ball C role. He also brings a lot of toughness to the team.

wait... this James Johnson?

Watch on YouTube


Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! To me this is an upgrade to Jeff Green. Not the shooter green is but tougher, more athletic, competes more on the glass and is just a complete DOG. He wasnt terrible for three from miami 35% range or so. not broken shot. but even if he clanks it at 30% dude is tough as nails.

Love love love love love this singing.

Downgrade on offense from Green but will be about the same defensively, slightly better on the glass and more "dog"

Happy to have him on board

Let me show yall exactly why I am so happy to have this guy here

Johnson is legit. He's not just "NBA tough", he will legit kick someone's ass if they try him. And he fights for teammates. Sean Marks saw the crap that went down in Game 4 of that Bucks series and knew what time it was.

Uncle Jeff replacement.

Green is a better scorer/shooter, but Johnson is a far better defender/rebounder/playmaker.

We needed this type of move after losing Uncle Jeff. Good job Marks.

Exactly! 3 G's we need in this team, just like mercenaries in action movies! :lol:

Gold - KD, Harden & Kyrie
Guns - Harris & Patty
Goons - Blake, Brown & Johnson

6' 7"/240 and a blackbelt in martial arts.

Definitely one of the toughest guys in the league. A dude you DO NOT want to tangle with.

Too many times last year teams took liberties with our BIG 3, dirty plays, but JJ makes sure those days are over.

That's another body to throw at Giannis, that's why they signed him even though he is clearly past his prime. He matched up with Giannis quite well in the past.
