Cam Johnson has a good chance of hitting the jackpot this summer. According to Yahoo! Sportsthe Nets, where he would like to stay alongside his twin Mikal Bridges, are likely to offer $84 million for four years.
But according to The Athletic, the Pistons, whose interest in the former Suns player is known, could put even more on the table to recover the winger: 100 million dollars over the same period! An amount that could make the Brooklyn franchise think twice…
We recall that the 27-year-old player, who earned just under $6 million last season, should be one of the most coveted protected “free agents” on the market. Good defender and big 3-point shooter (39% in career), Cam Johnson, who averaged 18.5 points in the playoffs against the 76ers, could thus find himself in the same situation as his former teammate, Deandre Ayton, l ‘last summer.
The pivot of the Suns had been offered a record offer from the Pacers ($ 133 million over four years) on which the Arizona franchise had ended up aligning itself. Would the Nets do the same if the Pistons, determined to partner Cam Johnson with youngsters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, bet so big on the winger?
