With Cameron Johnson a restricted free agent going into this off-season, the Nets have some possibly tough decisions to make about the wing who came over with Mikal Bridges in the Kevin Durant trade with the Suns. There is word that some other teams, including the Houston Rockets, could be interested in signing Johnson as a free agent. And that could really drive the price up.
The Locked on Nets guys, Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie, take a look at the situation with Cameron Johnson and how the Nets should approach it. How does his friendship with Mikal Bridges factor in? Is the dip in three-point shooting a concern? What about his age? There is a lot to unpack when it comes to resigning Cameron Johnson this summer.

This Cam Johnson puzzle piece will not only be a defining aspect on where Brooklyn direction truly goes but also if Brooklyn remains competitive are they willing to go over the luxury tax?
More importantly Cam Johnson had the best playoff performance and was consistent throughout the matchup. He's definitely earned a higher contract and Brooklyn has to ask itself if they are willing to match it and commit to their current core…
Or will they consider using Johnson as a huge trade piece to bring back significant assets to give their future a more clear direction….
Definitely a storyline to watch and see how it plays out….
Brooklyn are going to need to find a way to get joe Harris and Patty Mills off their books while also getting a significant role player back as well…
Cam Thomas meanwhile could fetch Brooklyn a first round draft pick or ne used in a bigger deal to get a significant piece back…
Brooklyn definitely shouldn't overpay cam its never that deep he can go
The Houston Rockets seem to be committed to going all in this season and already being connected to big names like James Harden Chris Paul Brook Lopez Dillon Brooks and Patrick Beverley.
Cam Johnson meanwhile is at the top of their list and would be willing to offer him a top contract..
Given they still own our first round draft picks Brooklyn will need to ask themselves if they are willing to compete against a possible new iteration of their team or wil they possibly do a sign and trade to get those picks back and some young scoring talent as well…
As much as Brooklyn says getting Cam Johnson back is a top priority are they willing to make bigger moves outside of the core of Mikal Bridges Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton to be competitive?
I Think both Cam And Bridges have A,other level of play however minimal it may be..Once They get used to this Role of leaders as opposed to Role player.. Cam Is A High IQ player and his Relationship With Bridges Makes It Almost Resign And Him
If Tyler Herro is available in the off-season Brooklyn should acquire him. It wouldn't take a significant package and a core of Mikal Bridges Cam Johnson Tyler Herro and Nic Claxton could be an exciting core 🔥. Herro and Bridges combined high scoring IQ coupled with Cam Johnson versatile offense and Nic Claxton defensive rim protection could be a fun core and structure to build around….
@lockedonnets do you agree with Spencer dinwiddie on Gilbert arenas podcast about the nets and Ben Simmons. If healthy, they would be similar to Milwaukee bucks with giannis meaning back to Philly Ben Simmons healthwise with this roster and everything Yes no maybe have you haven't heard what he said might want to go check it out
Rockets got enough cap to sign him. He would fit perfectly with jalen n Bari. I hope yall gm considers trading bridges to the Rockets for #4 and some of yall picks back. You guys can fully rebuild and would be ahead of schedule. 🚀
Would the Nets even be considering giving $90+ Million to Cam Johnson if Bridges weren’t on this team?
Ending a contract at 31 years old is not old bro😂 this man is always on a negative vibration.getting cam johnson from age 27/31 is actually getting him hitting his prime
