The Lakers and Warriors are all interested! The Nets have a high asking price for Johnson: multiple first-round picks or potential stocks + draft picks

On November 29, Beijing time, according to NBA reporter Evan Sidery, the Nets' asking price for Cameron Johnson will be very high. He said that for the Nets to consider trading Johnson, they would likely need to offer multiple first-round picks or an attractive young player with draft assets attached. The 28-year-old striker is under contract until the 2026-27 season.

Previously, Lakers reporter Anthony Irwin reported that the team is keeping a close eye on the Nets' two forwards: Finney Smith and Cameron Johnson. Compared to Finney-Smith, Johnson is worth more and is more difficult to obtain. Johnson has averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game so far this season, shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range. If the Lakers can get him, it will indeed be a big reinforcement.

In Redick's system, the Lakers are looking to further increase their three-point production, and they are currently averaging 33.7 three-pointers per game and 12.4 per game, ranking 25th and 20th in the league, respectively.

In addition, NBA reporter Jake Weinbach has also reported that the Warriors are one of the teams with a strong interest in Cameron Johnson, and said that the Warriors' offer framework could be Melton + expiring contract + a future first-round pick. The Kings, Magic and Spurs were also rumored to be interested in Johnson in the previous offseason.

So far this season, Cameron Johnson has played in 19 games for the Nets, averaging 17.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He has three years left on his contract, $22.5 million for 2024-25, $20.54 million for 2025-26 and $22.5 million for 2026-27.

The Nets have started the season well and have become the nemesis of Western Conference teams, but they are aiming to rebuild, and a good record would reduce their chances of getting next year's No. 1 favorite, Flagg. The Nets are widely expected to make a big trade next.
