Nets Have Set High Asking Price For Cam Johnson, Nic Claxton
Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson was tabbed by NBA executives as the player most likely to be traded ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. Johnson's Nets teammate Nic Claxton also received mention, as Brooklyn leans into a rebuild. However, Brooklyn wants a real return for both Johnson and Claxton. "The Nets asking price is high," one league executive said, referring to both Johnson and Claxton, "and they [have made] it known they don't feel like they have to trade them now. But if they're helping them win games, they'll trade them or put them on the bench." Nets GM Sean Marks has already traded Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith this season. Marks also reacquired Brooklyn's own 2025 first-round pick from the Houston Rockets ahead of the season. The Nets are expected to continue to move veterans to prioritize their lottery position for the 2025 NBA Draft.
