The question comes around as to what would we look life if we still had Joe Johnson? I would bet he could be counted on for some solid play in the playoffs and even a win or two. What say you?
What If We Still Had Joe Jesus?

He was horrible this year. And doesn’t fit the team.
No thanks. As much as he did for us last year, there’s a reason we were a lot better without him on the floor and a reason we’re better with Crowder. Last year worked good because he could kinda be the guy that Hayward couldn’t at times and it was easier to hide his deficiencies. Now, not so much.

You do mean better WITH Crowder?

Love him for what he did for us last year, but we were no doubt worse with him on the roster this year. More JJ would've probably meant less Royce, Jerebko, and possibly even some less minutes for Ingles playing that point forward role. I'm pretty positive we wouldn't have 47 wins today.

Different team this year, so I don't think so. He was one of the biggest defensive liabilities on the team this season and his shot wasn't falling. Maybe he could lock in for the playoffs, but this team is such an integrated machine that he likely would be a net negative. I love JJ for his play last year, of course. But we seem better off without him for sure.

No. They traded him because the entire team plays better with ball movement and he was a ball stopper who didn't play defense. I'm grateful for what he did for the Jazz last year. But Johnson did not fit with this roster and we are better off without him now and going forward.
JJ got washed this year, sad to say. I hope he has another big playoff moment to end his career on a high note.
It will be a shame that he requested a buyout from us only to sign with a team who will be ousted by us in the playoffs.

I hope he is relied upon to beat the Jazz in the WCF and falls flat on his face.
But that might be wishful thinking.

I feel better about letting Joe go for his ring and giving his minutes to Jerebko

But he still is crafty. I see that the Cavs are signing Kendrick Perkins for the playoffs. A vet that knows all the tricks.
And we waived Kendrick Perkins.
