Now that Mikal Bridges has been traded to the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets’ player with the highest trade value is Cameron Johnson, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
Johnson, who is in the second year of his four-year, $94.5 million contract, averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game last season despite dealing with numerous injuries.
As a career 39.2% three-point shooter with good size for a wing, he has attracted interest from teams like the Sacramento Kings, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Lakers per Lewis.
Johnson has already discussed a potential move from the Nets this offseason with HoopsHype’s Michael A. Scotto.
“You definitely think about it [a possible trade], but it’s not something I’m pushing for. Whatever happens with the organization happens. I can’t control that.” Johnson told Scotto “The only thing I can control is going out there and playing the best basketball I can play. Whatever happens will happen. I’m not really pressed on it. … I want to keep improving my game to get ready for next season.”
The 22-year-old, who led the Nets in scoring in the 2023/24 season, is eligible for a rookie scale extension until the day before the 2024/25 regular season begins. If no deal is reached, he will be eligible for restricted free agency in 2025.
