Part 6/7:
Amid the discussions on LaVine and Butler, Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets has emerged as a more intriguing trade candidate. Johnson, enjoying a breakout season, could provide the Nuggets with reliable shooting and offensive depth. While it would likely take another prominent player like Porter Jr. to facilitate a trade for Johnson, his affordable contract and enhanced skill set may serve the Nuggets better in the long term than the other options.
Given the Nuggets’ pressing need for improved three-point shooting, Johnson offers a more sustainable fit. The question, however, remains whether the Nuggets can part with Porter Jr. and whether the Nets would be willing to take on a long-term contract that may not align with their rebuilding plans.
