The oldest player on this list, James Johnson, is an experienced veteran who’s played in nearly 400 NBA games.

Johnson last played for the Toronto Raptors and somehow always finds a way to help his teams succeed. Johnson will most likely come off the bench at power forward and provide solid minutes and experience for a very young Heat team looking to prove themselves in the post Big 3 era.
