Atlanta Hawks decided on Thursday to cut Amir Johnson’s contract from three years to two years, and it’s fair to wonder why they did it. There are a lot of reasons why Johnson may or may not be a good fit for the Hawks, but one of them is not why you’d cut him: He’s a good player in the second unit.
Johnson’s deal reportedly had a $22.4 million salary cap hit next year, but Atlanta’s salary cap is projected to be just over $89 million. The Hawks should have plenty of room to sign free agents like Lance Stephenson, Thabo Sefolosha, and James Johnson, who will all make a lot more than $8 million in their next contracts. Johnson is a solid contributor for the second unit — or third unit, if you’re going by minutes — and he has the ability to anchor a team’s defense.

First, the Hawks don’t want to pay Johnson that kind of money when they don’t have to. They’re already at the salary cap and might need that room to bring in be359ba680
