    If we had suggested this trade, it would've been shot down, likely.

    That time when the league zigged, and Demps spazzed.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    He can run and finish at the rim on the break + he shoots a decent % on the corner 3. Combined with some defensive ability on the wing, I think he can help us. I mean he started 40 games for the Clips last year, he can’t be total trash...

    Dude was like a top 5 pick when he came out oozing with potential. Never materialzed. He is my wife's cousin. They had high hopes for him.

    They had high hopes for him!? Funny! You make it sound like he's a failure. Dude has carved out an NBA career for himself, a profession where only a few hundred guys get to participate. It's ok if he isn't the best, nam sayin? Tell your wife that they should still love him. ��

    Anyone who is making 6m/yr has materialized.

    He's not Lebron so, I mean I'd probably disown him...

    I actually don't know how he is defensively. All I can picture is him falling down after Harden crossed him out. Can anyone elaborate on his defensive game?

    Seems as least decent if not better defensively.

    The Bird Writes had this to say.

    According to ESPN’s Real Plus Minus, Johnson rated as the 12th most effectively small forward defensively for the 20176-18 season, finishing ahead of names like P.J. Tucker, Trevor Ariza and OG Anunoby. In comparison, Solomon Hill ranked 34th and Darius Miller, 74th, at the same position.

    One thing to remember going forward, Johnson may be utilized in another trade before the deadline by the Pelicans front office.

    So man. You guys were kind of gloomy. That has me excited.

    Yeah. Hayward or Butler would be awesome. But adding the 12th defender at the position and Randle from last year's team is huge.

    Is this really accurate though?
    He is guarding bench scrubs, while someone like Tucker and Ariza are defending starters.

    It's opening gameday, Aussie. Get that realistic downer mess out of here and drink the dang kool-aid.

    Shiiiiiiiizz. Lol

    He started 40 games, and averaged 20 MPG last year, so yeah should be pretty accurate
