    Damnit, my bulls lost another good asset to the team. Who is the current SF for the the Spurs? Johnson would also be good off the bench but his shot worries me.

    Johnson wasn't going to get much PT anyways, with Nocioni and Deng occupying the SF spot. The Bulls chose him over Hassell, and now they lose him, so both are gone. Good addition by the Spurs, shouldn't hurt them by bringing him in.

    Not a bad signing by SA. You'll get a lot of hustle, defense, and rebounds for him. I wish LJ3 the best luck in San Antonio.

    Good Luck to him in San Antoin he is a young energetic guy that can be a spark plug for them off the bench when Rose is not doing well. He will be sort of like what ginobli was when he was going off the bench he will take some time to develope I hope he returns to the bulls sometime in the future though like SKinner did with the sixers.

    And he'll learn more on those qualities from a guy like Bruce Bowen. Will be good for him.

    Hope he does alright in camp.
