Following the departures of Dennis Schroeder and Dorian Finney-Smith, the next potential trade candidate in Brooklyn that NBA executives are monitoring is forward Cam Johnson, who’s having his best season across the board while averaging 19.1 points on 48.8 percent shooting from the field and 42.9 percent from 3-point range.
Heading into the start of 2025, the growing belief around the league was Johnson would fetch more than one first-round pick due to his play and contract if he’s going to be traded. Johnson is signed through the 2026-27 season for a total of $65.54 million, allowing Brooklyn time to be picky and wait for the right offer. Should the Nets not get what they want, they can retain Johnson through the rest of the season.
During the G League Showcase, there were rumblings from NBA executives that the Oklahoma City Thunder had interest in pursuing Johnson on the trade market.
Should Oklahoma City ultimately pursue a Johnson trade with Brooklyn, keep an eye on January 15 when Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe are each eligible to be traded. The Thunder has a boatload of future first-round draft picks available to dangle along with tradeable salaries such as Kenrich Williams – our top trade candidate coming into the season – Ousmane Dieng, and Jaylin Williams.
With Dieng in his third season and Oklahoma City having three first-round picks currently in the 2025 draft, a decision could be coming on his future. After being drafted 11th overall in 2022, the 21-year-old forward began the season as a rotation piece on one of the league’s top teams before suffering a small fracture in his right ring finger and recently returning.
