Amir Johnson is a Dirty Scoundrel

Who the hell does Amir Johnson think he is? What nerve! First he rips off the Raptors by sticking them with five years of his underwhelming production under contract, now he's literally ripping the clothes off of Elton Brand's back. Poor form, Amir.

Can’t quite figure out how to process that video, the first reaction is to wonder why raptors.com would even put a video like that online, the second is to question whether these guys can ever be serious about things, and the third is trying to find precedent of...

Raptors Player Reviews – #15: Amir Johnson

In a year filled with lack-luster inspiration and inconsistency, one of the few bright spots to emerge from Raptorland was power forward Amir Johnson -whom the Raptors acquired in a deal that sent Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic to the Milwaukee Bucks.

During the Raptors media day on Monday afternoon, I had the chance to chat with new forward Amir Johnson about being dealt twice this summer, how the Raptors coaching staff plan to play him a bit at small forward, if he feels any pressure entering the last year of his contract and his goals for the upcoming season.
