Boston Celtics may reportedly try to sign Joe Johnson
Received text from league executive to expect an “intense” bidding war for Joe Johnson who is expected to be bought out by the Sacramento Kings, with the #Celtics one of the teams in the mix.— A. Sherrod Blakely (@ASherrodblakely) February 8, 2018
Joe Johnson is expected to seek--and receive--a buyout from Sacramento, per sources, and will be coveted: Golden State, Boston will be among the early favorites.

Johnson, who has been a useful rotation player for the Jazz this and last season, could provide helpful depth to the Celts' playoff rotation. His skillset and likely cheap cost will have him in demand, so him returning to Boston is far from a foregone conclusion. With the potential for several more high profile names to join Joe on the buyout market, he may not even end up being one of the Celts' primary targets.
