They (as shown here) asked for waaaaay more than he is worth and he sat out cause they weren’t taking his request seriously. I don’t think it’s hurt his value much if any. He was gonna get a MLE contract before, he’ll most likely get the same after.
But getting mad about Cam Johnson on what was considered a contending team?
Nah. He screwed himself completely. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires or ends up in some place like China if they offer more multi-year money
Maybe he can get a decent one year NBA deal
