He averaged 12.2 points per game and shot 38 percent from 3-point range while playing with the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat last season.Johnson joined the Heat in March after he received a buyout from the Nets in the final season of a six-year, $126 million contract he initially signed with Atlanta during the 2010 offseason.
