The Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat free agent guard Tyler Johnson have agreed on a four-year, $50 million offer sheet, according to multiple reports.
Since Johnson is a restricted free agent, the Heat have three days to match the Nets' offer once the league's moratorium period ends on July 7.
And the craziness of the NBA's salary cap spike continues ...
Johnson, an undrafted 24-year-old combo guard out of Fresno State, spent the past two seasons with Miami. In 68 games though two seasons, he has 7.4-point, 3.0-rebound and 2.2-assist averages, and has shot 45.9% from the field and 37.8% from beyond the arc.
His numbers may not turn heads, but he's an elite athlete with combo guard capabilities, who — if given the opportunity and a little bit of time — could fit nicely with Brooklyn, who just signed free agents Jeremy Lin, Trevor Booker and Justin Hamilton.
The Vertical first reported the Nets' offer to Johnson.
