This guy gave up 10 million dollars to not play for the Kings. The Kings should feel insulted about this.

ISO Joe is just hoping to ride some coattails to a title, no reason to be insulted because a guy is ring chasing...

I love how ISO has become such a dirty word on Realgm. As if playing some ISO ball is akin to being an old racist or something. Oh Millennials.

In reality, he's not "giving it up", not all of it at least. I'm pretty sure they agree to pay a % of it in the mutual agreement that they want to go their own ways. So...

Another former coach-player reunion! Kumbaya!

Let's see if Rose and/or Noah would reunited with Thibs.

Already 36, he was still pretty good with the Heat, (52%FG 42%3pt) but not so sure about now. (42%FG 27%3pt)

If the Rockets get Wright as well then the Warriors are shaking in their boots behind closed doors.

The Rockets are a legit threat but it’s not going to be because of Brandan Wright and Joe Johnson...

ISO Joe is his nickname, no malice at all. Isolation ball is great when needed, in crunch time for example. I am also not a millennial so get over yourself.
