Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

Does anyone have room to take Cam Johnson for free?  I think that is the only way out for Denver if they want to keep Watson right?  I don't think anyone is taking Braun now.   Johnson is overpaid but in his last year and is a theoretical 3 and D wing.   Denver is really asset poor now so they don't have much to offer and like the Lakers really need to be careful keep on using assets to improve the team.

And that's the rub...they NEED shooting. They've already had to let Hardaway walk this summer after having a really good season. Moving Johnson would make that situation even worse. 

Man, Denver has been really mismanaged. Part of it is that they're suffering from having two max contracts at the same time, but their medium sized deals are all un the upper range of "medium," too, and at least two of those contracts are baaaaad. I was looking at their salary situation the other day, and they're already almost assuredly stuck in the repeater tax for this year and only have like 8-9 people under contract. It's ROUGH.
