The Nets officially sell 19+4 shooters, the Rockets become potential new home, and the Eastern Youth Army is also contacted

Looking at the entire NBA league, perhaps the Brooklyn Nets are the most underrated and overlooked team. On the surface, the Nets have a bad record and no big-name star in the lineup, but because they are in New York, they have a lot of salary space and even have a lot of potential chips such as draft picks. If the Nets' management is operating properly, it will be easy to rise.
Now the Nets are officially selling scorer Cameron Johnson. Of course, the team's main purpose is to get another draft pick from the lottery zone. So Cameron Johnson and the No. 19 draw were bundled and sold by the Nets, and the Rockets became potential new next home. Like the Eastern Youth Raptors, they are two teams officially contacted by the Nets.
Cameron Johnson is very strong. Because of his accurate outside projection and his age when participating in the draft, Cameron Johnson received the nickname "North Carolina Huang Zhong". But he deserves his name. Take this season for example. As the Nets' main firepower point, Cameron Johnson averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game, and was very efficient. If the Nets were not lacking stars, they could go to a strong team in the playoffs, and Cameron Johnson would likely play at the 180 club level.
But he is already 29 years old and the Nets are in a rebuilding state. It doesn't make much sense to keep this powerful non-All-star player. The Rockets urgently need to improve their outside shooting ability and hold the No. 10 pick in the first round of this year. If the two teams exchange draft picks, the Nets will make up for the difference and send Cameron Johnson to Houston, while the Rockets will give some marginal substitutes, which is a possibility of cooperation. Considering that the Rockets' outside projection performance has been too bad in the past few years, if Cameron Johnson can come, this problem can be effectively alleviated, and his defense is not bad, which makes everything particularly interesting.
The Raptors and the Nets are in the Atlantic region. Many fans have always had a misunderstanding, that is, there is a competitive relationship, or it is basically impossible to seek cooperation among mortal enemies in the same region. This is absolutely nonsense. As long as both sides take their own needs, there can be benefits. Any team can become partners. The Raptors have many potential stocks, and their physical fitness and athletic ability are simply full. But sometimes being too young may not be a good thing. In particular, except for Quickley and Dick, other players in the team are not very good at shooting. This is where Cameron Johnson's value lies.
