The 24-year-old earned $845,059 last season and his qualifying offer is valued at $1,180,431. With the NBA’s salary cap expected to skyrocket next season, Johnson has a good shot at significantly increasing his salary for this past season.
In addition, he has the opportunity to ink a long-term agreement with the Heat that would provide him with greater security moving forward.
