The Cavaliers lock in the reinforcement target! The 29-year-old sharpshooter becomes the key to reorganization and is willing to send Allen

On June 13, according to US media Hoops Wire, Brooklyn Nets forward player Cameron Johnson has become the "number one" in the Cleveland Cavaliers' trading market. The Knights management showed a determined attitude towards him.

Alliance sources confirmed that the Cavaliers' interest in Johnson has been a long time. Grant Hughes, a well-known reporter, analyzed in the Bleacher Report column: "Although the Cavaliers almost hollowed out the draft pick library when they bet on Mitchell in 2022, another early exit in the playoffs may force them to bet on the remaining chips and pursue elite shooters like Johnson. "

The Cavaliers' chip dilemma and cracking methods:

The psychological price of the Nets against Johnson is at least a first-round pick-up - they had rejected similar quotes before the trading deadline last year.

The Cavaliers have only one tradable first-round pick left, but management plans to create an attractive package with draft pick swap qualifications and up to four second-round picks.

Center Jarrett Allen could be the key salary balance chip in the deal. This combination of punches is expected to impress the Nets. Why do the

Knights go all out?

The playoffs failed for two consecutive years (the injury impact was significant), forcing the Cavaliers to re-examine the lineup structure. The team is likely to reorganize the lineup in the future with Evan Mobley as the core, and Johnson's three-point shooting percentage of 39.2% in his career is the space weapon that the Cavaliers urgently need. He can greatly alleviate the space congestion problem that the Cavaliers often encounter on the offensive end.

Johnson is worth?

This season, he played 57 games for the Nets, averaging 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was stable at 39.0%. Its salary of US$20.5 million next season is also a cost-effective contract among high-quality 3D forwards. Looking at the 340 games of his Suns and Nets career, Johnson averaged 12.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

The Cavaliers are the top seed in the Eastern Conference regular season this season, but they lost 1-4 to the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the playoffs. The management's full pursuit of Cameron Johnson this time is undoubtedly a key puzzle to break the bottleneck and hit higher goals. This battle for the sharpshooter has become an important weather vane in the transfer market this summer.
