Would a trade for Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson make sense for the Orlando Magic?
reported that the Magic are among the teams interested in trading for Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson. Lewis also reported that the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers have shown interest in the 6-foot-8 forward, and the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors could also be potential options.
With the Nets fully committing to a rebuild, Johnson's ability to shoot makes him an appealing option for many teams, but should he be one for Orlando? Orlando has taken strides toward improving its offense and shooting this offseason. The Magic signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who has shot over 40 percent on his 3-point attempts in three of his last four seasons. They also drafted 6-foot-8 forward Tristan da Silva, who made just under 40 percent of his 3s in college and shot nearly 60 percent from beyond the arc across three games in the NBA 2K25 Summer League.
Johnson likely won't come cheap. Along with the potential players and draft picks Orlando could have to give up, he has three years and just under 70 million left on his current contract. While the Magic do have the cap space to pay him and remain under the first apron next season, they just gave Franz Wagner a max rookie-scale extension and have Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero waiting in the wings for their rookie-scale extensions.
