Draft-night dominoes: five non-Giannis trades to watch

Five players besides Giannis Antetokounmpo could be moved on draft night: Kawhi Leonard (Clippers) could be on the move if the Heat don’t land Giannis; Ja Morant (Grizzlies) has Miami among potential suitors in a possible reshaping; Domantas Sabonis (Kings) remains on the market amid exploratory talks; Trey Murphy III (Pelicans) has drawn intense external interest from several teams; and Cameron Johnson (Nuggets) could be part of a Denver roster shakeup to avoid the second luxury-tax apron.

Cameron Johnson secures massive $108M deal to stay with Nets

Restricted free agent Cameron Johnson has agreed to a four-year, $108 million deal to remain with the Brooklyn Nets. Johnson, a key part of the trade that sent Kevin Durant to Phoenix, is expected to be a core player for the Nets. Known for his ability to guard big wings and shoot from beyond the arc, Johnson averaged 16.6 points per game last season. He will also be playing for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup this summer alongside his close friend Mikal Bridges.

The Nets may consider trading their first-round picks, but French shooting guard Rayan Rupert is a name to watch. Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby are the most likely players to move if the Raptors are looking for an offseason roster shakeup.

Nets' Joe Harris Embraces New Role as Jazz Come to Brooklyn.

Joe Harris has seen a reduced role in the Nets' rotation since the arrival of Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Dorian Finney-Smith, but he sees it as a positive. Harris played 21 minutes in the win against the Hawks, recording 11 points and nailing three of six 3-pointers. Dinwiddie finished the month of March with 146 assists, the most he has ever recorded in a month. Cam Thomas continued his slide down the Nets' rotation, logging just three minutes and going scoreless Friday night. Kevin Durant poured in 30 points on 11 of 15 shooting in the Suns' 100-93 win over the Nuggets on Friday, his highest scoring output with Phoenix.
