A six-pack of Heat notes on a Monday:
u25aa The expectation is that the Heat will explore moving the final two years of Tyler Johnson’s contract as early as this summer, but the backloaded nature of his deal isn’t the only reason that it will be difficult to achieve.
In addition to making $19.2 million both next season and in 2019-20 (the final two years of his contract), Johnson confirmed he also has a 15 percent salary bonus if he’s traded.
The Heat must pay that trade kicker, which would be worth $3.2 million if he’s traded this summer.
