NBA Trade Rumors: Nets' Cam Johnson Eyed By Thunder, Kings After Schröder, DFS Deals

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings are reportedly eyeing Brooklyn Nets small forward Cameron Johnson following blockbuster trades involving Dennis Schröder and Dorian Finney-Smith, according to Michael A. Scotto of HoopsHype.

Johnson is having a career season across the board, averaging 19.1 points while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from beyond the arc.

The Nets have been looking to get "multiple first-round picks" for Johnson, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. However, after the deals for veteran Schröder and Finney-Smith, Stein questions the plausibility of that happening.

"Can they really expect to get more than one first-rounder for Johnson after the deals just witnessed for (Dennis) Schröder and (Dorian) Finney-Smith?" Stein wrote.

Ahead of the 2025 season, it was believed around the league that Johnson would garner more than one first-round pick. With his contract extending through 2026-27 for $65.54 million in total, the Nets can be picky if not receiving the right offer or keep Johnson for the remainder of the season, per Scotto.

Emerging rumors circulated during the G League Showcase that the Thunder were interested in Johnson, with Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe eligible as potential trade partners in addition to a handful of future first-round picks, according to Scotto.

After firing head coach Mike Brown amid the Kings' lackluster 14-19 season, they have also shown interest in Johnson as they aim to keep De'Aaron Fox happy after he passed on his contract extension.

Johnson is likely to attract more trade discussions as the NBA trade deadline approaches on Feb. 6.
