Nets Reportedly Have A Very Strong Asking Price For 1 Veteran

This season’s trade market in the NBA isn’t expected to be a very attractive one, but there should still be a few attractive complementary players available as the February 2025 trade deadline nears.

The Brooklyn Nets are one team many believe will be involved this season in the trade market as sellers, and their most attractive trade piece is Cameron Johnson.

Per Evan Sidery, the Nets will ask for multiple draft picks and perhaps an enticing young prospect in return for Johnson.

The Nets will hold a very strong asking price for Cam Johnson in potential trade talks.

It will likely take at least multiple first-round picks or an enticing young prospect alongside draft capital for Brooklyn to listen.

Johnson emerged as a reliable 3-and-D wing early in his career as a member of the Phoenix Suns, especially when he helped the Suns reach the NBA Finals in 2021 with some hot outside shooting throughout the playoffs.

But since coming to Brooklyn in 2023 as part of the Kevin Durant trade, he has taken his offensive game to another level.

Through 19 games this season, he’s averaging 17.9 points a game while shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from 3-point range, and that is in addition to the high-level defense he brings to the court at all times.

The Nets are currently 9-10, and while they appear to have a real shot of, at the very least, reaching the play-in tournament, some may feel they would be better off tanking for a high draft pick.

There have also been rumors that they could be persuaded to let go of guard Dennis Schroder and possibly even guard Cam Thomas, who is leading them right now with an average of 24.7 points a game.
