What do you expect from Joe Johnson? What is a acceptable contribution from Joe?

Well Joe has a big contract and Joe has been a 5 time all-star. Joe did not have the year he was expected to have last year. I expect a bounce back year from Joe. Joe is a vet and can be counted on.

I expect Joe to give you 20pts 5assists 5 rebs in about 35 minutes of play.

I don't think you can really blame Joe for his down year, he did have elbow surgery in December and came back 2 weeks earlier then he was suppose to; Despite his absurd contract Joe is still our best player and go to guy; and I don't think this contract has to handicap us, I've been saying for weeks now keep him for 2-3 years and then when his game goes downhill we amnesty him. Now on to my predictions I think Joe will get 21-22 ppg 5 assists and 5 rebounds, he'll get some consistant assists from Teague and Hinrich and he won't be bothered by that elbow, I think this year he doesn't try to do too much and lets Josh and Al get in on the act with him in the clutch; Joe will be valuebal to us and I think he'll lead us to the 2nd round in the playoffs where the Hawks will put up a fight.

Looked good in Pre-season GM 1.
