Trade idea sends Cam Johnson to Boston for Pritchard, Hauser

Boston was among teams showing trade interest in Nuggets forward Cam Johnson this offseason, according to HoopsHype. One hypothetical framework would send Johnson to the Celtics for Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and a favorable 2030 second-round pick.

Johnson is entering the final year of his deal at $23.06 million after shooting 43% from three last season. The swap would also nudge Denver back under the second apron, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.
