Joe Johnson: I rejected the Suns quotation of 45 million, and the Eagles finally gave me a contract of 70 million.

Recently, former NBA player Joe Johnson talked about leaving the Suns on "Nightcap".

Jo Johnson said: "It was my contract year. That season, the Suns brought in Nash and Quentin Richardson, and the Suns gave them a big contract. The team said that the summer would get my contract, so it would seem like the next summer. At that time, we didn't know that we would be the best team in the league.

"The Suns gave me a contract worth 45 million, and I refused. I thought I would get more than 45 million. We ended up playing well, and although we lost in the Western Conference Finals, I got a 70 million contract from the Hawks. ”

On August 20, 2005, the Hawks sent Dior and two first-round draft picks, signing first and then getting Joe Johnson from the Suns, with a contract worth $69.67 million in five years.
