the way joe has talked about amir, being priority 1a, there's no way he lets him go. mccoskey seems to have a problem with johnson.

I don't care one bit what the financial consequences are to re-signing Amir. On this issue I come really close to saying if he goes I go.

I just don't want to acquire another 2 year band-aid while watching a potential future starter leave the organization.

Joe said he is right behind Chauncey as far as his priorities go. I will take his word for it.

I'm not packing my bags, yet. Maybe the comment was intended as a negotiation ploy aimed at keeping Mr. Big Shots $$$ demand down.

Hog, you're right on. McCoskey basically has no johnson, so he rags(pun intended) on Amir Johnson.

We all heard Joe say that Amir does things no other Piston can do. Joe will NOT let this kid get away... PERIOD!

Right on!

Really, Amir is our 3rd first round draft pick this year.

Amir is the real deal. You match any offer, no matter what.

You are preaching to the choir my man.

I see no real ceiling on his abilities... Ok maybe I'll cap him at 2nd team all NBA someday.

I'd be just fine with Starting Amir and Sheed next season at the two power spots.
