Sixers interested in signing Amir Johnson

The Philadelphia 76ers are likely planning to lay low in free agency, opting for short term deals and long term flexibility rather than a massive splash early on. One potential target who has emerged is former Boston Celtics big Amir Johnson.

After starting alongside Al Horford in the first-seeded Celtics’ frontcourt throughout last season, Johnson will likely be searching out work elsewhere this season. While not lacking in production, he was far from consistent — and will likely be replaced by some of the talent that has aggregated elsewhere on Boston’s roster.
