The surprise Suns are full of players having career years, and Joe Johnson is no exception.  The 6-foot-7, 230-pounder is averaging 16.4 points and shooting 45.9 percent from 3-point range this season and will be a restricted free agent this summer.  There is no doubt that many teams will court this emerging shooting guard with the pure touch.  

"When the season is over with, I'm going to be open to see what's out there," Johnson said. "I would love to stay, but it's not set in stone. It's a business. I'm just trying to do what is best for me."

Johnson is only earning $2.4 million this year and will no doubt be looking for more.  He does have competition at the shooting guard free-agent spot as Ray Allen, Michael Redd and Larry Hughes will also be on the market.  All of them top notch players.

"He's a big part of our organization," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's a great guy. We're going to try to do everything we can so he won't go away. We can do everything (because of his restricted status). If we do everything, he isn't going anywhere."
