MIAMI (AP) A person with knowledge of the negotiations says Joe Johnson has agreed to sign with the Miami Heat.

The person spoke to The Associated Press Friday on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been signed.

Johnson was bought out by the Brooklyn Nets earlier this week and clears waivers on Saturday. He could sign with the Heat any time after that.

The Heat are willing to sign Johnson right away if that is his desire and will deal with the luxury-tax ramifications of such a move later, the person said.

Johnson was averaging 11.8 points this season with the Nets, but has 85 3-pointers - more than any Heat player.
