Now that the big names are off the board in free agency, there should be some movement on the restricted free agent market. Already having a busy day with Dwyane Wade leaving after 13 years, the Miami Heat will have to make a key decision regarding another one of their own players.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, restricted free agent guard Tyler Johnson has signed a four-year/$50 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets.

With Wade leaving along with others in free agency, the Heat suddenly have a choice to make regarding Johnson. Do they pay the guard that began to blossom that much money or do they let him walk and choose to allocate their finances somewhere else?
Over the last couple of seasons, Johnson turned himself into a rotational player and he began to earn meaningful minutes on the floor. It’s yet another savvy move by new general manager Sean Marks.
Players can now officially begin signing offer sheets, so the Heat officially have three days to match the deal.
