Full of hope and exuberant for Johnson’s debut. I was unimpressed during summer league, but would still rather have him than a couple of “hmm’s”.

As a Raps fan and an Amir fan, I’m thrilled. I had a bit of faith left in Roko, but the guy is 25 so I’d be quite surprised if the latter became more than a decent backup. I wish him well, but I don’t think the Raps will miss him.

As for Delfino, well, yeah, he’s alright. Expendable to the Raps. I don’t really think he’s worth giving up on Amir Johnson, but, as you said, he was kind of expendable to the Bucks.

We all agreed it was great to see a veteran get in there and get his hands dirty. How inspiring of him to take the steps to get in sync with his new teammates. He’s showing how serious he is about coming in and competing for a starting job in Milwaukee. And then Johnson arrived in Vegas. That’s when things quickly unraveled for Amir. Sure, he looked great catching lobs from Brandon Jennings. They looked to have developed some instant chemistry. But how hard can it be for any athletic power forward who wants to run to develop chemistry with a point guard who’s always looking to get out in the open court and throw lobs. It’s easy to imagine Hakim Warrick filling the role just as nicely. And with less fouls. Oh those pesky fouls. Johnson’s longtime nemesis in Detroit crept back up during summer league. In a league with younger players it was probably of fair importance to the Bucks staff that if Johnson was going to play he’d better show at least some ability to stay out of foul trouble. He did not. Johnson’s best efforts were a couple six foul affairs that came in twenty-five and twenty-three minutes. Add the less than spectacular summer league experience with the newly acquired Hakim Warrick and what do you get? Apparently Carlos Delfino." [...]
