After seeing teammate Mikal Bridges get shipped to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, Nets forward Cameron Johnson could be among those who are the next to go as Brooklyn works toward a complete rebuild, HoopsHype reported Wednesday.
Ben Simmons, Dorian Finney-Smith, Dennis Schroder and Day'Ron Sharpe are also on the trade block, per the report. The Nets could also look to move Bojan Bogdanovic, who was just acquired from New York in the Bridges deal.
Johnson had been playing alongside Bridges for his entire career, as the two spent three full seasons together in Phoenix before the Suns traded them to Brooklyn in exchange for Kevin Durant during the 2022-23 campaign.
But the Nets went 32-50 last season, missing out on the playoffs for the first time in six years. They've started their rebuild with a massive haul of picks from the Knicks, who sent over four unprotected first-round picks, a top-four protected first-round pick, a second-rounder and a 2028 unprotected pick swap.
Johnson, 28, played in 58 games last season, making 47 starts. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from 3-point range.
If Johnson is in fact available, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be among the teams pursuing him, according to a report from Cleveland.com.
