Cavaliers Eye Trade for Nets' Cam Johnson

The Cleveland Cavaliers, tied for the best record in the NBA, are considering a trade for Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. Johnson, having a breakout season with career-high averages, has drawn interest from multiple teams, with the Nets seeking two first-round picks for him. The Cavaliers' defeat by the Oklahoma City Thunder highlighted their need for better perimeter defense, making Johnson a potential target. However, the Cavs face challenges due to limited draft capital, with no first-round pick available until 2030. Meanwhile, Johnson's status remains uncertain due to a right calf strain, affecting his availability for upcoming games, though he recently returned from another injury to help the Nets end a losing streak against the Portland Trail Blazers.
