As the NBA trade deadline approaches on February 6, Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets is at the forefront of discussions, with various teams showing interest. Currently, the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings are in pursuit, while the Golden State Warriors have stepped back from negotiations. The Pacers might offer Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith to match Johnson's salary amid the bidding war.

Johnson, who is in the second year of a four-year, $94.5 million contract, is experiencing a stellar season, averaging 19.5 points with impressive shooting percentages. Despite being sidelined with a right ankle sprain, his value in trade talks remains high. The Nets have already engaged in trades ahead of the deadline, including dealing Dennis Schröder to the Warriors.
