Brooklyn Nets Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: F Cameron Johnson
Meanwhile, this deal comes with a lot of caveats.
Firstly, it comes with the caveat that the Nets don’t finish this year strong enough to consider being buyers this summer. If they do, they may want to hold onto a valuable player like Johnson.
It also assumes that the Heat aren’t sellers. If this team is eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, they may consider making more drastic changes in the offseason.
Finally, it assumes that Johnson’s best offer isn’t too far from Robinson’s salary. It can be higher – the Heat will have players coming off the books that allow them to account for an extra 5 or 6 million.
