I\u2019ve had conversations with Denver throughout the season\u2014they wanna keep this guy, but he\u2019s got a lot of trade interest. Now, with that said, how does that affect Cam Johnson, our old friend in Brooklyn? He\u2019s a really good stretch four, but for Denver, they\u2019re gonna have to look at these extensions,&#8221; Scotto said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You got Jokic, you got Murray, you got Aaron Gordon\u2014you gotta fit these guys under the aprons. They\u2019re gonna be close to the second apron. The way they can stay below that and ensure more flexibility is by looking at the market and seeing if there\u2019s a fit with a Cam Johnson trade. That\u2019s something to keep an eye on for Denver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/plus?utm_source=basketnews_com&amp;utm_medium=bn_plus&amp;utm_id=UA-259273-31&amp;utm_campaign=banners_free_content_for_not_members_bottom_4\" class=\"banners_paid_content_info_block_white banners-paid-content-info-block-white\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bn-plus-img img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bn-plus.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Like what we are doing?
