The Chicago Bulls have traded small forward James Johnson to the Toronto Raptors for a 2011 draft pick.
The pick is the Miami Heat’s first-round selection this year, which was owned by the Raptors.
Johnson was pulled from the Bulls Tuesday evening scrimmage at the Berto Center in Chicago and left the facilities via limo.
Johnson was selected in the first round of the 2009 draft by the Bulls out of Wake Forest, but the 6-foot-9 small forward has averaged career totals of just 3.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
The move gives Chicago additional salary cap relief to have the flexibility to sign or trade for another player.
