With Mikal Bridges out of the picture, the Brooklyn Nets have officially entered a full-scale rebuild.
They’ve finally recouped plenty of draft assets and will have more than enough incentive to let their young players develop.
Of course, that means they won’t have use for some of their veterans, and they could get even more assets by letting them go.
Notably, that includes veteran sharpshooter Cameron Johnson.
Given his three-point shooting skills and length, it’s not much of a surprise to see a report by Brian Lewis of the New York Post stating that there are at least three strong suitors for his services (via Legion Hoops).
REPORT: The Lakers, Magic and Kings are interested in Cameron Johnson, per @NYPost_Lewis.

Per Lewis, the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magic, and Sacramento Kings are all keeping tabs on him.
He also adds that the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and Golden State Warriors could be dark horse destinations for him.
Johnson was a surprising pick by the Phoenix Suns, not because he couldn’t play but because of the fact that they took him at No. 11 when he was projected to be a mid-to-late first-round pick.
He’s 28 years old already, and his age was the biggest knock on him, even though he was a well-known sniper during his days in college.
Needless to say, he’s failed to live up to the expectations that come with being a lottery pick, and injuries have also kept him on the shelf.
Still, he’s an excellent shooter who could help stretch the floor, and all three of the aforementioned teams could desperately use more perimeter scoring.
