NBA: Top 5 Buyout Candidates for Playoff Teams

#2 Joe Johnson

Los Angeles Clippers v Utah Jazz - Game Four

Seven-time NBA All-Star Joe Johnson was sent to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team deal that involves the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Utah Jazz last Thursday. However, Johnson is expected to reach a buyout contract with the Kings making him an unrestricted free agent.

The 36-year-old Johnson who averaged 12.6 points per game in last year's playoffs have yet to reach an agreement but has already received multiple interests from Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, and the Houston Rockets.

Johnson, who is known for his ability to get hot at an opportune time would certainly spell the difference for any squad looking to make a resounding impact in the postseason as the former All NBA third team member shoots 42.8 percent from the field in 12 years of Playoff appearances.
