Although there were whispers that the Atlanta Hawks were not going to be able to spend the type of money to lure Joe Johnson back to the dirty bird city, there are reports today that the Hawks are prepared to offer Mr. Johnson the Max over six years ($119 million). Furthermore, Johnson appears to want to stay in Atlanta:
Johnson's representatives were also scheduled to meet with the Knicks and Heat as well, but Johnson's first choice is to stay in Atlanta, a source told ESPN.
This could be a big blow to the New York Knicks, as Johnson appeared to be heavily a part of their Plan B if LeBron and/or Wade decided to sign elsewhere, and also possibly a part of their Plan A, as there were whispers that LeBron considered Johnson a worthy sidekick to His Highness.
