The Brooklyn Nets have been open about their willingness to trade virtually anyone on the current roster.
With the Memphis Grizzlies looking to gain an edge out West, Memphis might call Brooklyn soon and inquire about Cam Johnson. According to Fadeaway World’s Fran Leiva, a likely package the Grizzlies could offer the Nets for Johnson would be Marcus Smart, Vince Williams, and a 2026 first-rounder.
“The Nets have entered a soft rebuild after a surprisingly strong start to the season despite trading away Mikal Bridges in the offseason,” Leiva said.
“With players like Cam Johnson, Dennis Schroder, and Dorian Finney-Smith reportedly on the trade block, it’s clear they’re looking to retool for the future. Johnson, though, might be one of the most appealing names out there.”
“For a Grizzlies team that desperately needs more perimeter shooting, he’s the perfect fit. Slot him next to Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, rookie Jaylen Wells (who’s firmly in the Rookie of the Year race), and Jaren Jackson Jr., and you’ve got a lineup that can hang with anyone in the West.”
“On the Nets’ side, they get Marcus Smart, a player who can be flipped later for even more assets, along with Vince Williams Jr., a young wing with potential, and a valuable future first-round pick in 2026. For a team focused on long-term flexibility, it’s a win-now trade that makes sense for both sides.”
