Nets have not been shopping Cameron Johnson

Must read

.

League sources have consistently told The Post that the Nets — who were obviously highly motivated to deal away Schroder and Finney-Smith, since both were 30-somethings set to hit unrestricted free agency — have not been shopping Johnson.

More on this storyline

They’ve only taken calls on him, and apparently none are convincing them to move the sweet-shooting wing. So does Johnson go to Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks on the incessant reports? Or let his agents handle that while he keeps his focus on the court? “Yeah, the latter more so,” Johnson told The Post. “If I felt the need to go speak to him about something, or I catch wind of something that I want to bring up to him, then I will.” -via New York Post / February 5, 2025

Johnson is under team control for the next two years on a deal that counts just 13 percent of the salary cap each of those seasons. The Nets never spoke with Golden State about Johnson, according to sources, and with the Lakers and Kings having made huge moves on the wings, two potential suitors are off the board. Brooklyn could bring more teams into the bidding process in the offseason. -via New York Post / February 5, 2025

The Nets’ biggest trade chip is Cameron Johnson. Teams monitoring the situation this week didn’t think anyone would make an offer strong enough to acquire Johnson. Another name to watch is Day’Ron Sharpe. The Clippers are among the teams who’ve done background work on Sharpe, who will be a free agent this summer. I don’t know if the Nets and Clippers have had advanced talks on Sharpe, but I can safely assume teams will continue to call Brooklyn about the 23-year-old big man. -via SportsNet New York / February 4, 2025
