Soms teams thst could be interested in Cam Johnson are the Warriors Kings and Magic.
The Warriors could offer Andrew Wiggins Moses Moody and a first round draft pick for Johnson. Wiggins salary is needed to make this deal work but getting Moody and a first round draft pick is good business for Brooklyn especially since they add more draft capital to their chest and give Moody a legit opportunity to prove himself. Brooklyn meanwhile could try to recoup Wiggins value and eventually flip him at next year's trade deadline for even more draft assets 👍….
The Kings feel like the safer team that can offer Trey Lyle's Kevin Hueter and a first round draft pick for Johnson which gives Brooklyn another first round draft pick.
The Magic could offer draft capital salary and a potential untapped prospect in Jett Howard…..
Some of those scenarios work but Marks can't afford to get greedy holding out for 2 first round draft picks and risk lowering Johnson's value even more 😮…..
The problem Doug and Adam is Sean Marks is trying to pull off more magic trade acts with Doe and Johnson 😮😂😂…..
But the problem is while he ideally wants two first round draft picks for Johnson and at least one first round draft pick for Doe the NBA doesn't feel that those prices are warranted 😮…. For Johnson his contract in this new CBA era is a red flag for different teams especially contending team's who are at least over the first apron 😨…. Most of those teams aren't willing to go over potentially the second apron for Johnson unless they are desperate and really believe they can win a championship 🤔…..
Now Brooklyn most likely would have to take back two expiring contracts or a possible bad contract like a Andrew Wiggins to trade off of Johnson's contract especially if they want to match salaries and try to get back some draft capital….
Most importantly Johnson does have injury issues and he's not a versatile offensive player consistently and has average defense. But offensively he can give you something but again Marks can't afford to get greedy or risk losing him for even less down the line 😮….
With Dorian Finney Smith he still has defensive value but offensively he's mostly a three point scorer who is now in his early 30s and teams aren't willing to offer a first round draft pick for him unless they are desperate for his defense and are willing to offer a first round draft pick. For example could a team like the Clippers in a super tough West be desperate to part with one of their last available first round draft picks to acquire Doe? 🤔. If the Clippers offer PJ Tucker and a first round draft pick for Doe Brooklyn should take that deal especially if they can get a first round draft pick back 👍…
But if Brooklyn holds onto Doe longer then they have to, they could risk losing him as well for less and have to take back multiple second round draft picks for him….
If Brooklyn can get a first round draft pick back for him great. Second round draft picks ain't bad either but getting decent value back should be the priority….
Would the Spurs give up the Hawks 2024 FRP for Cam Johnson?
Nets talk everyday!! Love it
Maybe Bogs is still mad at us for trading him lol
Sleeping of DFS defense
Lonzo Ball will be a unrestricted free agent next summer. Depending on how this season goes…he could be an excellent playmaker to pick up on a good contract.
Doug-Cam Johnson has had injury problems his entire career. He’s never played close to a full season. Look it up. This guy Makes Kyrie Irving look available it’s kind of funny that he is best friends with bridges a guy who never misses time.
Players like Cam Johnson are what make guys like Cam Thomas want $35 million a year.
truly appreciate you bros pushing thru these dog days! Ain't so easy given the heady prior years, but LoN💯 helps!
Honestly, in a rebuild, I love the idea of bringing Brooke Lopez back great guy great net. I think it would be cool for Nets fans to have him retire as a net. That would be fantastic. Cam for Brook Lopez and a future pick make it happen. Again, as the Nets fan it would be pretty meaningful to have Lopez back
I think a deal that includes Cam Johnson and sharp going to the bucks for pics and Brook Lopez makes sense specially if you’re not gonna be paying sharp anyway
