New Report Reveals Which Key Player The Denver Nuggets May Trade This Summer

The Denver Nuggets have been one of the NBA's best teams for a number of years now, and in the summer of 2025, this team loaded up in hopes of making another run in the Western Conference this season. One of the major additions this team made was adding Cam Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr., and with the team sitting at 35-20 and third in the West, the changes were clearly positive.

However, Johnson hasn't quite lived up to expectations, with many hoping that he could take a leap playing alongside Nikola Jokic, who is the best NBA teammate he's ever had. Unfortunately, Johnson is averaging just 12 points in 30 minutes per night for Denver, and now, it's led to some speculation over his future with the organization.

According to a report from Evan Sidery, executives around the league see him as a trade candidate this off-season, with the team likely looking to prioritize Peyton Watson and keeping him long-term instead.

While Johnson has played his role in the Nuggets starting lineup this season, he hasn't quite had the effect many were hoping for, and with the team loving the homegrown Watson, it makes sense that they would prioritize his long-term future.

Ultimately, when the playoffs roll around, Johnson may step up and help this team go on a deep run, but as of right now, according to some executives, the signs are pointing towards a major change for the organization and Johnson.
