ATL Hawks looking for a Center

[Jajwanda]

Well if he's that great of a player the Lakers would certainly consider a deal including the incomparable Metta World Peace for him and salary filler.

I'm going to advocate for Petro, so all the Hawks fans that may read this know what they're getting:

-good passer with uncanny court vision and handles for his size
-smart, physical defender...very good at playing defense without fouling
-good hands
-ELITE midrange jumper
-excellent footwork and offensive skills in the post...with 30+ mpg, he would get you 15+ ppg easily
-high BBIQ

Clearly, Hawks fans, he's an extremely gifted and valuable player, I would have preferred to use him to land Howard, but since it doesn't look like he'll be traded, I could be persuaded to go for a Petro for Josh Smith trade, but draft picks would have to come our way of course...

You don't even need to write all that, just link them to Petro's site.

WHEN YOU DESCRIBE the prototypical NBA center, he is not complete without superlative size, strength and athleticism. He’ll fight for the tough rebounds in the trenches, but is just as quick to burn you with a shot from 15 feet.

Johan Petro possesses all of these skills and more, and bears all the promise of fulfilling his vast potential.

That's hilarious

My favorite part is this "Johan was one of four free agents introduced by the Nets on the same day as the franchise builds a bridge from their current home in New Jersey to their future in Brooklyn, New York. The contract was evidence that they want Johan to be a part of that future."

It's like he's trying to convince himself that it's true...

Petro is awesome, come on guys, let the Atlanta fans know how much they want him!

You two are terrible people.

So I was curious to see if Petro had any talent before coming to the Nets, since SOMEONE must have seen something in him. I almost feel bad for the guy, because he seems like a nice person off the court.

Anyway, I looked up "johan petro highlights" on youtube, and the first two videos are of him getting rejected by Dwight, and him missing a dunk.

But just so people know that Petro has done good things before:
