Joe Johnson has committed to sign with the Miami Heat once he clears waivers.

Johnson also strongly considered the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kevin Martin could receive a buyout from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Martin is in the final year of his current contract.

The Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder all are expected to pursue Martin.

Martin's destination could hinge on where Joe Johnson signs.

The Brooklyn Nets have waived Joe Johnson after agreeing upon a buyout.

The Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and Toronto Raptors are already in pursuit of Johnson, according to Marc Stein.

The Cavaliers are confident of their chances of signing Johnson, though the Hawks are also expected to be a factor.

Zach Lowe of ESPN reports Johnson gave up $3 million of his remaining salary in order to join a playoff contender.

Kent Bazemore was a bench player for the Golden State Warriors before he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers where he was able to showcase his abilities.

“Selfishly, if I wanted to play 30 minutes a night and wanted a role in the NBA, I wouldn’t change anything: I needed to leave the Warriors,” Bazemore told The Vertical recently in an extended profile. “I looked at leaving Golden State as my chance to grow up. I was stuck behind Steph [Curry], behind Klay [Thompson] and Harrison [Barnes]. I was so young, man. I’ve grown so much, having the experience of playing in the playoffs, playing for a really competitive team. Coach Sullivan had me watching my shots before I came, and when we first met, he told me he was going to alter everything. I showed up every day and we broke it all the way down: shooting with three fingers, one-handed shooting, finding my balance.

“A couple years in, my confidence is up and I don’t mind shooting the ball from everywhere. I understand how to get a shot off or getting my feet set before the ball comes. I know how important that is now.”

Bazemore's two-and-a-half months in early 2014 playing for Mike D'Antoni led to a two-year, $4 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks.

“That season with the Lakers was a savior,” Bazemore told The Vertical. “Every time I see someone from the front office with Golden State and every time I see D’Antoni … I give them a big hug. D’Antoni allowed me to showcase myself. I was a guy at the end of the bench in Golden State and did well in the D-League, but that isn’t enough to get you a solidified job in the league.

“I don’t know where I’d be right now.”

Bazemore will be a free agent again this offseason.

The Philadelphia 76ers offered Ish Smith, Nik Stauskas, an expiring contract and a 2016 first round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for Dennis Schroder. 

Smith couldn't have been included in a multi-player deal since he had been acquired fewer than 60 days before the deadline, but he could have been moved in a second deal.

Smith is expected to have significant interest in free agency.

The Sixers and Hawks could revisit their trade talks in June.

The Atlanta Hawks had interest in moving Jeff Teague to the Milwaukee Bucks for Khris Middleton.

Middleton is in the first season of a five-year, $70 million deal with the Bucks.

The Bucks turned down that offer from the Hawks.

Teague is signed through the 16-17 season. Milwaukee actually signed Teague to an offer sheet in 2013 that the Hawks matched.

Jeff Teague remained available by the Atlanta Hawks until the trade deadline at 3:00 PM EST.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets were interested in Teague, though the Hawks had a high asking price.

The Hawks were prepared to deal Teague and go forward with Dennis Schroder as their point guard.

Teague is signed until the 2017 offseason.

The Chicago Bulls have traded Kirk Hinrich to the Atlanta Hawks for a second round pick.

Hinrich previously played with the Hawks for one season before returning to the Bulls.

The Utah Jazz have acquired Shelvin Mack in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks for a second round pick.

The Jazz have been looking for more depth at point guard.

The Atlanta Hawks intend to stand pat at the deadline after exploring a major move involving Al Horford and either Jeff Teague or Dennis Schroder.

Horford will be a free agent this offseason.
