Nets Have High Asking Price For Cameron Johnson

The Brooklyn Nets have received lots of trade interest in forward Cameron Johnson. However, Brooklyn GM Sean Marks has put a high asking price on Johnson in trade talks. Until that changes, expect Johnson to remain with the rebuilding Nets.

Johnson is in the second year of the four-year, $90 million contract he signed with Brooklyn last offseason. He’ll make $23.6 million during the 2024-25 season. In Johnson’s first full season with the Nets, he averaged 13.4 points on 45/39/79 shooting splits and 4.3 rebounds in 58 games.

The Nets kicked off the rebuilding process this offseason. First, Brooklyn reacquired some of their own draft picks from the Houston Rockets that they had dealt in the James Harden trade. Marks then traded Mikal Bridges to the crosstown New York Knicks for a package that included up to five future first-round picks, and a future first-round pick swap.

The Nets are expected to consider trades for the veterans on their roster this season. That includes Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Dennis Schroder and Bojan Bogdanovic, the latter of whom was acquired in the Bridges deal.
