Johnson looks to be on the move as Brooklyn pushes further into a rebuild.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson may find himself a new home after the team traded Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Sean Marks' trades to allocate draft capital for his star player made it evident that a rebuild is in the cards for Brooklyn, and with that could come the movement of other Nets veterans.
Johnson, Dorian-Finney Smith, and Dennis Schroder are some of the players that have been heavily discussed in trade rumors. Johnson, particularly, because of his contract. The former Phoenix Sun, dealt in the Kevin Durant trade, is making approximatelyper year until 2027, a poor contract for the Nets considering they are trying to dump talent and salary.
With that being said, there are plenty of teams that could deal for Johnson's services. Here are five teams that could trade for the forward:The Kings were actually discussing a trade for Johnson that would get the Nets the 13th pick in Tuesday's first round of the draft, according to Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee. However, they ended up keeping the pick and selected Providence guard Devin Carter.
I’m told the Sacramento Kings are still engaged in trade talks involving the No. 13 pick in the NBA draft. The two names I’m hearing right now: Washington Wizards small forward Kyle Kuzma and Brooklyn Nets small forward Cameron Johnson.After snagging the third seed in the Western Conference in 2023, Sacramento missed the playoffs altogether after losing in the Play-In Tournament a few months ago.
The Nuggets are already a solid defensive team, but Johnson would provide better offense and give rest to the starters. Julian Strawther is a forward that came into the league with a lot of promise, and if the Nets can give Denver Johnson in exchange for Strawther and draft capital, it would be a win-win trade scenario.To keep it simple, the Pacers are the most desperate team in the NBA for defense.
