Summary
After being briefly without a home, Johnson was signed by Brooklyn for the Orlando bubble and played well enough to be re-signed by the Nets. Johnson is a combo guard that provides some solid playmaking and shooting. However, Johnson's ability to play either guard spot is dependent on who he plays with. Due to his size, he's not big enough to slow down some of the bigger shooting guards in the league. He's also not the type of athlete you want guarding the elite point guards. After shooting poorly in past recent years, Johnson hit 38% of his threes this season, so that's helpful for his case that he still belongs in the league, even if it's just on a minimum contract.

Cap Considerations
Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent with a $1.7 million cap hold and Non-Bird Rights. While the Nets did sign Johnson for the Orlando bubble in 2020, this period does not count toward Bird Rights. This means that the highest starting salary the Nets could offer him using the Non-Bird Exception is $2.7 million. This should be enough to retain Johnson, since he settled for the minimum of $2 million to come to Brooklyn. Alternatively, the Nets could use their Mid-Level Exception to re-sign Johnson if he demands more than $2.7 million.

Other teams will have multiple ways to sign Johnson as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer MLE, Taxpayer MLE, or possibly even the Room MLE or Bi-Annual Exception to sign him. It's also likely that Johnson only gets minimum offers.
