A: Considering the way it ended with a thud with Joe, with the inability to make the very 3-pointers he was brought in to convert, I'm not sure that the relationship ultimately will produce an enduring bond. Part of the equation will be the Heat's plans with Justise Winslow possibly emerging as their starting small forward. But to start Justise, it would require having another shooter in that first unit, a role that Chris Bosh could fill if he is able to return. Without Bosh, it would seem as if the Heat would need someone with Joe's career shooting skills. Basically that is a long-winded way of saying that if Joe were to return, it likely would be a Heat decision made later in free agency, a timetable that might not necessary suit Joe's preferences. It could come down to whether Johnson is willing to wait for the Heat to put their $2.9 million "room" mid-level exception into play after they are done filling out their salary cap. And even then, the question is whether $2.9 million for 2016-17 would be enough to meet Joe's demands. Right now, for all the talk of an enduring relationship, it does not appear that it is the way this is headed. But it's also early. Very early.
