The price for Cam Johnson, the Nets’ sweet-shooting forward, has steadily increased, as has the market for his services.
The Nets’ sweet-shooting forward is set to hit restricted free agency, with the team hoping to lock him up to an extension before it ever reaches that stage.“Cam knows how we feel,” general manager Sean Marks said after the Nets’ playoff loss to the 76ers. “We hope he’s back. He’s a tremendous … person, on and off the court. High, high character. His IQ is off the charts. That’s exciting to be around. He adds a lot to our group, not just on the court.
Shortly thereafter, sources told The Post his market would exceed $80 million. Now, reports are he could command a salary identical to or even higher than Bridges’ four year, $90 million deal.Long eyed by the Rockets, Johnson now has been linked not only with the Pacers but also the Pistons, according to Stein.The Pistons just hired Monty Williams, who coached Johnson with the Suns. Williams has acknowledged he was so upset after the Suns traded Johnson and Bridges that he cried.
“So in my case, I’ll do whatever I and my family and representatives determine is best for my future. Whether that’s being here or somewhere else, I can’t say. All I can say is I’ve really come to appreciate the people here and that means a tremendous amount to me. But I haven’t made any decisions business-wise yet. But I definitely have factors I’m considering and I am warming up to New York, certainly.
