Nets unlikely to trade Cam Johnson before NBA trade deadline

All quiet on the Nets’ trade front.Could they actually stay that way?Cam Johnson has had his name constantly linked in rumors since the Nets shipped out veterans Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith.But with the trade deadline fast approaching at 3 p.m.

on Thursday — and sources telling The Post that Brooklyn is not shopping Johnson — it seems more and more likely that no team offers enough to get the Nets to change their minds.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.They’ve only taken calls on him, and apparently none are convincing them to move the sweet-shooting wing.So does Johnson go to Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks on the incessant reports? Or let his agents handle that while he keeps his focus on the court?“Yeah, the latter more so,” Johnson told The Post.

“If I felt the need to go speak to him about something, or I catch wind of something that I want to bring up to him, then I will.”So far, there hasn’t been much of a need.In various reports, Johnson has been linked to Golden State, Indiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma City and the Lakers.But he’s still in Brooklyn, and Marks is seemingly more than content to stand pat.“He has a job to do.

I have a job to do.And that’s what I’m focused on right now,” Johnson told The Post.

“And right now, my job is to play for this team and to contribute to this team and to try to do all those things.“And his job is to manage the group.So I’m not [worried].

If there’s something that I need to know, then I trust he’ll tell me, my agent will tell me.And [I’m] going from there.”Johnson, who missed Tuesday’s game against the Rockets with a sprained ankle, is in the midst of a mid-career breakthrough.The forward is currently averaging 19.4 points on 49.1/41.9/89.8 shooting splits.
