Brooklyn Nets traded Cam Johnson to Denver Nuggets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick. This transaction boosts the Nets' draft assets to 13 first-rounders and 18 second-rounders over the next seven years. It addresses the Nets' salary floor goals and enhances their roster spacing. For Denver, acquiring Johnson is seen as a more cost-effective option that complements their existing players. The deal helps Denver reduce costs, saving $13 million in 2025 and $30 million over two years. Pogner's expiring contract offers Brooklyn salary flexibility for future trades.
The trade adds another pick to the Nets' growing vault, bringing their total to 13 first-rounders and 18 second-rounders over the next seven years.
For Denver, the trade upgrades their wing position with a similarly styled but cheaper player. Johnson's skill set should mesh well alongside Jamal Murray and Jokic.
