Amir Johnson is about to start Trusting the Process.

The free-agent power forward has agreed to a one-year, $11-million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, his agent told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Johnson spent the last two seasons with the Boston Celtics, with whom he averaged 6.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists on 21.4 minutes as a starter earning $12 million per year.

In Philly, he'll reunite with Sixers team president Bryan Colangelo, who as GM of the Toronto Raptors acquired the big man in a 2009 trade.

The 30-year-old is the last NBA player drafted out of high school.
