Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports that Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets is drawing attention from multiple NBA teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, and Orlando Magic. Michael Scotto from HoopsHype also mentioned that the Kings, Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers are interested.

Brooklyn’s Rebuild and Johnson’s Future

The Nets are starting a rebuilding process following the trade of Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks. Johnson, aged 28 with almost $69 million remaining on his three-year contract, may be the next one to be traded. Brooklyn’s goal is to create room and acquire resources, so it would be logical for them to trade Johnson. Teams are showing interest in improving their rosters due to his 13.4 points per game average and 44.6 percent shooting accuracy (with 39.1 percent from three-point range).

Potential Suitors

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers require additional support on the perimeter to lessen the burden on LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Johnson’s ability to shoot can give the Lakers the necessary spacing and scoring to be competitive in the challenging Western Conference.

Sacramento Kings

The Kings are taking steps to become strong competitors, having acquired DeMar DeRozan to complement De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Including Johnson could enhance their team even more and boost their likelihood of success in the playoffs.

Orlando Magic

The Magic, who recently reached the playoffs, are seeking more scoring assistance. Johnson’s scoring ability may alleviate their offensive challenges and propel them deeper into the playoffs.

Conclusion

It is likely that Cam Johnson will be traded with Brooklyn’s future focus and a talented 2025 draft class on the horizon. Cam Johnson leaving would be advantageous for both him and the Nets, enabling him to join a strong team and Brooklyn to keep progressing with its reconstruction. Johnson is a feasible option for the Lakers, Kings, and Magic to improve their team rosters with his abilities. The issue at hand is not whether Johnson will be traded, but rather when and where it will happen.
