<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> ATLANTA--Members of the Atlanta Hawks ownership group, as well as GM Billy Knight and several Hawks players, confessed to being slightly disturbed by Joe Johnson?s enthusiastic desire to play for them. Though they love his talent and leadership ability, the team is beginning to question the character of someone so willing to leave a winning situation to play for a perennial loser. ?We?re horrible,? said GM Billy Knight. ?I mean really, really horrible. We?re the laughingstock of the league and we have been for quite some time. That makes me wonder: Why exactly would a kid with so much going for him in Phoenix want to leave it all behind and come play here? Sure, we?re offering him a lot of money, but that wasn?t even the deciding factor. He wanted to come here. He?s looking forward to it. That?s what scares me about this guy...? ...?I just don?t get it. He must be some kind of pervert or something,? said (Boris) Diaw. ?I?m glad I won?t be playing with him. My years in Atlanta were like playing in the developmental league. Nobody ever showed up for the games, nobody cared, and no matter how hard we tried we just couldn?t beat anybody. I can?t tell you how many nights I spent crying myself to sleep. Sleep was my only escape, but for the sweet, sweet caress of death. On the upside, they have some great restaurants.?</div> source
Lol, that is hilarious. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">?What?s wrong with that guy? Why would he choose to come here?? asked point guard Tyronn Lue, who was traded to the team last season. ?Nobody comes to the Hawks by choice. You come because you get traded or nobody else will sign you. Doesn?t he realize what he?s getting into? Sh*t, I?ve been trying to get out of here ever since they traded me. I even tried tunneling out of the locker room at one point, but I accidentally tunneled into coach?s office by accident. You should?ve seen the look on his face. I played it off pretty good, though. I just told him I was looking for the men?s room.?</div>
If anyone didn't get it by now then that article ain't real,Lue didn't say any of those things. That site had a headline like: Heat Concerned By Shaq?s Request To Be Paid In Pancakes "Diaw's" comment was hilarious tho.
"i tried tunnelling out of the locker room at one point" good stuff. funny, because Lue said he wants to come back.
Tho the article is a joke....it is kind of bothersome that someone would want to come to the Hawks....No offense hawks fans..but you guys are beyond terrible. I mean really? Why would he leave the Pheoniz suns for the hawks, when PHO was going to give him the same amount of money?
^^They weren't goign to give him the same amount of money, if they were he would still be a Sun right now.
hahaha funny article "he's some kind of pervert or smth" man diaw is a joker but yeah JJ is messed up..i really dont think he is worth the money he is getting. He is not a franchise player, and i honestly think the hawks got ripped off with this guy. the SUNS were going to give him the same money that the hawks are giving. But johnson told the managment staff of the Suns not to match his offer(This was said at Steve Nash's Charity all-star game in Toronto) because he did not want to be the third best option behind Amare, Marion & Nash this guys an idiot..end of story
Im not sure if that article is real but, overall i too question Johnson's decision to come to ATl theyre future looks better but theyre not to great. Tyron Lue if he really said that then thats frikken hilarious lol
lol yeah that website is obviously fake read the one about larry brown saying darko should'nt get minutes

I knew the article was fake when I saw that Boris Diaw actually had a comment. Diaw has been here for two years and yet to hear him speak. Actually people arent even interested in what he has to say because he hasnt done anything. My boy said he sounded like a Barry White/Tony Parker clone. Anyway it was still a funny article because I am still questioning why he still would want to sign with the hawks. I know the whole deal with him and the Suns but still I would have asked to be traded somewhere else. I may still be in the minority here but I am with Belkin, the Hawks did overpay for Joe.
yea, that article was halarious. I know its fake, but seriously why would any sane person join the Hawks. This one is pretty funny as well Study: Most Americans Retire Without Winning NBA Championship
