The Sacramento Kings are actively pursuing a trade for Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson as they aim to strengthen their roster. Currently 15-19 and sitting 12th in the Western Conference, the Kings recognize their current lineup lacks competitiveness. Reports indicate that they have engaged in extensive discussions with the Nets regarding Johnson, who is considered a priority target.

Despite recent turmoil, including the firing of head coach Mike Brown, the Kings are determined to enhance their roster without considering a trade for star player De’Aaron Fox. Johnson, averaging 19.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists, brings significant two-way versatility, making him an attractive option for Sacramento. However, the asking price from Brooklyn appears steep, and the Kings face a deadline of February 6 to make a decision.
