With Dennis Schroder’s move to the Golden State Warriors, the Brooklyn Nets are now one step closer to securing a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Additional trades are expected to follow.
According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick and Tony Jones, the Denver Nuggets have shown interest in, or engaged in discussions about, acquiring Nets forward Cameron Johnson.
Once a title contender, the Nuggets have struggled in the 2024-25 season and are now looking to bolster their roster. They are reportedly exploring trades for Zach LaVine from Chicago, Jordan Poole from Washington, Jonas Valanciunas, Jordan Clarkson from Utah, De’Andre Hunter from Atlanta, and Johnson.
While LaVine is the more prominent target, Johnson’s name makes sense as well. He is enjoying what could be a career year, averaging a career-high 18.6 points with a 43% shooting mark from beyond the arc.
As a strong off-ball wing with elite shooting and solid passing skills, Johnson would be a great fit for the Nuggets. However, concerns arise over the assets they may need to part with to make the trade financially feasible.
Even so, a roster shake-up might be just what the Nuggets need, and with reigning MVP Nikola Jokic on the team, there’s reason to believe he could further enhance Johnson’s production.
For now, NBA fans are left waiting as teams continue to assess the trade market, anticipating potential moves.
