Goodbye Wesley Johnson Signs with Clippers 

Post#1 » by EArl » Tue Jul 7, 2015 8:41 pm

Free agent forward Wesley Johnson will commit to a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, expecting to finalize his agreement on Wednesday, league sources told RealGM.

Johnson is expected to sign a veteran’s minimum deal worth $1.1 million, sources said. In Johnson, Doc Rivers has landed the commitment of a clear improvement on the wing, an athletic upgrade capable of spacing the floor and finishing at the rim.

Wont miss his play. Head scratching at times.

Nice guy still with a lot of potential but just couldn't get it together.

He plays best when he doesn't have to think, hopefully CP3 will make the game easy for him.

Clear upgrade lol .... Dude ain't better than a 35 year old Matt Barnes on either end or with his effort. Can't wait to play those clippers now, no 3 point and dunk assault. Paul Pierce better save all his juice for the playoffs to carry their choking asses :lol:

I said to my wife, Wesley Johnson left Lakers and went to the Clippers. She said, "who? The Jimny the Cricket guy?"

Bye Wes! Have fun!

See ya! Be good now...

At least he wasn't your first round pick.

He will probably be better for the Clippers. Im glad he's not coming back. Byron may have started him.

I would say "good luck," but I would be lying.

I think he only hung on for so long because Kobe liked him as a practice defender for himself.

Just a thought, most of us thought of Wes Johnson as not an asset. Can anyone say anything that he does well that our rook Anthony Brown can't immediately replace? Off hand, I'd say Anthony Brown already has a better outside shot than he does.

Why can't the flippers admit they just want to be the Lakers? They resort to recycling our scrubs not once but many times. :lol:

Wes was frustrating at times because of his inconsistent play but I liked him.
He is atheletic, and gave us hustle and hard work.
He is an okay defender.
I wish him well, but wish he'd gone to some other team other than the Clips.

He is an average defender
