Caseys system doesn't rely much on cheating or gambling the passing lanes, so assuming JJs on board, I think we'll get a far superior defender and wing-player than we had before.

"Police observed no physical damage to JJ’s wife, and she refused medical treatment." and then she doesn't show up to court?
I call BS on the allegations. If you get hit by JJ, its leaving a mark.
DISCLAIMER: Domestic Abuse it absolutely terrible and I would never condone it.

Ronald Tillery writes a column for a Memphis newspaper called the Griz Insider. He says that the Memphis front office wanted Johnson back but the coaching staff did not because " the coaching staff views him as a high-mistake and maddening player ."

Kobe still gets called a rapist and even on this board someone called Chris Andersen a pedophile.

Yeah I don't mean to be so pessimistic but what reasons are there to believe that Johnson is truly a changed man aside from the mandatory soundbites from Masai, Casey and JJ this offseason when he was signed?
He played his way into the doghouse in Memphis this year after playing himself out of the entire league the year before. Oh, and he's two months removed from a domestic assault charge. We can talk about his wingspan, his shot blocking abilities, his defensive prowess and what he'll bring to practice all we want but until he displays the skill of not being an idiot I'm going to hold my breathe.

Did he really got himself into a doghouse though? Prince came back from injury and they have Tony Allen, who can't shoot either. You can't have two guys on court who can't shoot. Mike Miller was playing great for them. I mean it's no wonder he got buried on a bench.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

As I said in the signing thread, he had a dispute with Joerger and saw his playing time massively go down from there.
The fans in Memphis really don't like Joerger and would have prefered starting JJ over Prince all day. (even though the fit alongside Tony Allen is just horrible from an offense standpoint).Myself (March 2014):
The raptors are a tremendous young team and will win a championship in the following five years.
