While many teams are interested, Sidery most recently reports that multiple teams are preparing to pull out of trade talks, which could be a problem for Brooklyn regarding its rebuild. The Nets hold a steep asking price for Johnson, looking for at least two first-round picks or a promising young player with at least one pick.

League sources have consistently told The Post that the Nets — who were obviously highly motivated to deal away Schroder and Finney-Smith, since both were 30-somethings set to hit unrestricted free agency — have not been shopping Johnson.
