Rival executives view Cam Johnson as a trade candidate this offseason due to Peyton Watson. Watson, a restricted free agent, is expected to receive offers sheets over $20 million annually. Moving Johnson would allow the Nuggets to keep Watson while maintaining cap flexibility.
Do we think Cam Johnson is a fit? Career 39.5% 3PT shooter on 6 attempts per game...
His $23M salary doesn't fit in the TPE this summer, but maybe there's a deal there with PJW/Gafford outgoing to another team? Lakers?
Interesting. Yes, in theory I think Johnson would fit. It will be interesting to see how he finishes the season with Denver. He should thrive. I believe he got off to a cold start. It does makes sense that he could be tradeable if they want to keep Watson and reduce their salary.
Funny how things change. Booth got a lot of blame but now some of his later picks looks like they are helping Denver. I was really harsh on the Nets (well deserved), but that trade is looking pretty good for them. MPJ has been the better player and may get them another asset to go with that future Nuggets first round pick. I also made fun of their picks (all five of them). From a distance, I like 4 out of 5. I have not seen one play but the others all look intriguing to me.
