The Brooklyn Nets have been busy ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, but that doesn’t mean they will move Cam Johnson if they can’t get the right price.

“Sources have said the Nets would be loath to move him for less than two first-round picks or the equivalent thereof,” Brian Lewis of the New York Post reported Sunday. He also listed the Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings as potential suitors, indicating there could eventually be a bidding war for the forward.

If there is, that only plays into Brooklyn’s hands as it searches for multiple first-round picks in a potential deal.

As Lewis pointed out, the Nets have already made multiple trades involving seven players and seven second-round picks. Most notably, they shipped out Dorian Finney-Smith and Dennis Schröder while also adding De’Anthony Melton and D’Angelo Russell.

They are also a logical seller at the deadline with a 14-28 record, but the timeline is different with Johnson compared to other potential rental pieces.

After all, there is not the immediate urgency to trade someone who is slated for free agency since he is under contract through the 2026-27 season. He is also just 28 years old and could theoretically still be on the roster during the team’s next competitive window.

And the front office could always trade him in future seasons if things don’t turn around on the court.

Still, Johnson’s value figures to be quite high this season given his level of play. He is averaging 19.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 49.9 percent from the field and 42.8 percent from deep.

That three-point shooting would fit in well on almost any contender with a star player who draws defenders in, and Johnson can also guard multiple positions on the defensive side if needed.

Whether a team will see that as worth multiple first-round picks remains to be seen, but that is reportedly what the Nets are looking for at a minimum.
