Joe Johnson’s Signing Could Lead To More For Help Miami Heat

  • 8 years ago
In a weird way, Joe Johnson 's signing makes the Miami Heat 's potential season-ending loss of Chris Bosh even more painful.
One must admit that signing Johnson was a move that many never thought would be possible with all of the LeBron James sweet talking through the media and newspapers out of Cleveland reporting that he was a lock to sign in their city as far back as three weeks ago.
Miami could release an injured player like Beno Udrih and hope that Riley's "league connections" can convince an organization to claim his $2.2 million and help the Heat dip back below the tax.
As the Vertical's Bobby Marks pointed out, Udrih's salary would help Philadelphia get closer to the salary cap floor so that they could avoid being severely penalized for missing the minimum in contract payouts.
