Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith continue to be prominent trade candidates as the Brooklyn Nets intensify their rebuilding efforts.

According to sources cited by Brian Lewis of The New York Post, the Nets’ front office has set a high asking price for Johnson in trade discussions, which has delayed any potential deal.

Johnson, who is under contract through the 2026/27 season, is seen as a valuable asset, contributing to the high trade demands. In contrast, there is more urgency surrounding Finney-Smith’s situation.

The 31-year-old forward has a $15.3 million player option for next season, which Lewis anticipates he will decline due to the high demand for 3-and-D wings.

If the Nets fail to trade Finney-Smith by the deadline, they risk losing him without compensation, given his potential to attract significant interest from other teams.

The front office faces a critical decision to either secure a return for Finney-Smith now or risk losing him for nothing in the future.
