Report: Joe Johnson looking to be traded, could be bought out by Jazz

Veteran forward Joe Johnson is attempting to get traded out of Utah, according Marc Stein of The New York Times. Stein also references Johnson as a potential buyout candidate if no deal is struck.

This should come as no surprise as Johnson is in the final year of his deal and having a down year for the Jazz, who are currently 3.5 games out of the playoff picture.

If bought out, the 36-year-old will have the opportunity to join a contender looking for perimeter help. Johnson is a career 37.2 percent 3-point shooter, but shooting just 26.7 percent this season.
