    From Indystar:
    Johnson agrees to terms

    The Pacers reached an oral agreement Thursday with point guard Anthony Johnson on a four-year contract worth $10 million-$11 million.

    Johnson, 29, averaged 6.2 points and 2.8 assists for the Pacers last season. His agent, Richard Howell, said 10 to 12 teams expressed interest.

    "All along, Indiana was his No. 1 option," Howell said. "This is where he wanted to go."

    Johnson, who played for a league-minimum salary of $813,679 last season, is scheduled to fly to Indianapolis today to sign his contract.



    Now we have two PG's and I sincerily hope Brewer will join them too.

    More on the Johnson signing:
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">
    Anthony Johnson achieved something Friday that had eluded him throughout seven NBA seasons: security. The 29-year-old point guard signed a four-year contract with the Indiana Pacers, a landmark for a player who had subsisted on a series of one-year and 10-day contracts.

    I've always been a fan of Johnson. He gave his body up for loose balls and hustle plays each and every game and has been consistent. He will not be starter material though, but his experience as a backup and three-point range will help Tinsley learn.

    I wanted the Pistons to sign him. He would have worked well in D-Town.
