Tyler Johnson was as shocked as anyone when he became aware of his new contract.
“I threw up a couple of times when I heard the number.”
That number of course being $50 million over four years, when the Miami Heat matched the offer sheet made by the Brooklyn Nets. Johnson has played just 68 career games entering this season, less than one full regular season. This on top of being un-drafted coming out of Fresno State.
So when more than a few eyebrows were raised at the details of the contract, you can hardly blame them.
