James Johnson, Jazz may have mutual interest

Free agent forward James Johnson, formerly of the Miami Heat, shares a mutual interest with the Utah Jazz, according to Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune.

What It Means:

The Heat have said all along that they intend to keep their versatile forward, but the Jazz are likely to make a hard push as they look to address their post-Gordon Hayward future. Johnson had a career year in Miami last season with averages of 12.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.1 3-pointers in 27.4 minutes per game over 76 contests.

Johnson earned a 1.6 nERD in Miami last season, placing him inside the NBA's top-100 out of 486 players.
