Cam Johnson, a top trade target for the Brooklyn Nets, is expected to remain with the team past the trade deadline. The Nets are seeking two first-round picks for Johnson, whose scoring average and efficiency have both seen significant improvement this season. Despite interest from several teams, the price tag may deter potential trades, especially since Johnson has two years remaining on his contract. As a result, the Nets may not feel pressured to make a deal at this time.
Dennis Schröder was having a career year in Brooklyn before he was traded to the Golden State Warriors in December.
Teams monitoring the situation this week didn't think anyone would make an offer strong enough to acquire Johnson.
The Nets shouldn't be in a rush to trade Johnson anyway. He has two years left on his current deal worth $21.5 million annually.
Johnson has averaged a career-best 19.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists across 35 games this season.
