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.Nevermind what haters say,

Authorities have dismissed the domestic violence case against NBA player James Johnson, officials said.
Johnson, 27, was arrested by Memphis police June 7 after an altercation with his wife of two years, Callie Johnson, and her mother. Johnson’s wife called police after he allegedly hit her in the face with an open hand and choked her. Johnson, who was a member of the Memphis Grizzlies at the time, also punched a hole in a bathroom door during the incident, according to the affidavit. He left the scene but later returned to find officers interviewing his wife. She had no injuries to her face or neck, police said. She told police they both had been drinking.
The case was dismissed because Callie Johnson did not show up in court, said Vince Higgins, spokesman for the Shelby County District Attorney’s office.

For sure, and, from what I've read on the internet, T Ross has been putting in work in the gym in order to address the issue of him not being able to guard stronger players.
Its also going to help him when he drives into the paint.
JJ should be playing Salmons' minutes, but knowing DC, he will leave him on court if he is playing well on both ends of the floor or if the Raptors are playing a team with a dynamic SF like Brooklyn (Joe Johnson), Cleveland ('Bron), or OKC (KD).I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada
