He's not on the injury report and he looked fine the rest of the game. Probably just got the wind knocked out of him somehow.

I think Giannis might have given him a rather painful wedgie when he pulled so hard on his uniform.

I don't really see how we will be able to resign Cam Johnson if we extend Mikal, Deyandre and Paul.
But we still have him for 3 more years.
Cam is turning into one of my all time favorite draft picks. How do you not root for this guy. I dare you to find me someone who has something bad to say about him.
he’s shocked me on how much he fights on defense and he’s super sneaky athletic. Two legit highlight reel dunks this year

So are the Suns going to extend Cam Johnson? They have until Monday.
I hope this gets resolved. I'm not looking forward to restricted free agency.

It’s hard to tell not knowing Sarver’s mindset at the moment. He feels he was undeservedly forced out by cancel culture and may be in resentment mode.

They are going to make an offer - probably more of a lowball offer.
Then it's just up to Cam and his camp if they want to accept it or not.
I have a feeling the Suns are going to have an issue paying him more than they gave Mikal, since he is the inferior player.

I'm not worried about it.
Anybody that is going to pay 3 billion plus for the team is not going to let him go for nothing.

The only reported contract offer I have seen is 4 years/ $72 million. I'm not even sure where I saw that.

Brandon Clarke was extended for 4 years/ $52 million, so 4 years /$72 million sounds close for Cam Johnson.

Well, supposedly Sarver has no say in the situation, but I have little doubt that the guy who was appointed to run the team is a toady.

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Someone has to make a bottom line decision. You think the other owners who have been standing idly by, will all of a sudden know what to do? I think this idea Sarver has no say is laughable. He decided to sell the team. They allowed him to do that. I think they are allowing him to make other decisions, even if it is through his toady.
James Jones is making the calls. Players like Jones and want to play here but want the MONEY. Cam will resign get matched like Ayton.

No idea what will happen, but the organization has been extremely tight lipped over the last few years, to their benefit. McD and Babby liked to play poker with their hand face up, on the table.
That said, they should be offering Cam Johnson anywhere up to 90 mil for 4 years, less would be nice, but I expect he will cost considerably more next summer.
We were really lucky to lock up Bridges early a year ago.

Although extensions for PJ Washington and Grant Williams are pending, the framework for a Cam Johnson extension could be between Brandon Clarke 4/$52 million and Kevin Porter Jr. 4/$82.5 million (only first year guaranteed).
Of course, there is Jordan Poole's extension 4/$140 million to consider.

The Suns are in an awkward situation naming Cam Johnson the starter at power forward with Jae Crowder demanding a trade.
Four years at $82 million might be a nice compromise figure.

These are the stats for Cam Johnson last season compared to Brandon Clarke.
The previously reported offer of 4/$72 million for Cam Johnson is appropriate in this context.

I hope we get something done before the deadline. I hate it when we go into the final year of their contract a la Ayton.

The local media has been surprisingly hands-off during the Cam Johnson negotiations.
There have been articles written, but it has been relatively quiet concerning this matter, unlike when Ayton was eligible for an extension.
Even the fans have not talked a lot about it.

I still think the Suns are in a pickle with Cam. He isn't a prototypical PF who is going to gobble up rebounds and put a body on someone. They like Cam and want to keep him but he doesn't bring what this team is missing from those two aspects. Bridges isn't going anywhere. Cam really is a "Tweener" forward.These are the stats for Cam Johnson last season compared to Brandon Clarke.

I just don't see the Suns LONG-TERM keeping Cam J no matter what they do unless they don't mind being over the luxury tax threshold for years to come. That all might hinge on the new owner.

I'd give Cam Johnson somewhere around 4 years/ $82 million. With the salary cap going up, soon it will look reasonable.
The problem isn't Cam's deal by itself. It's paying a guy who doesn't exactly bring what you are missing. He is a luxury. So, with all the other contracts and slots you are trying to solidify and all those contracts together that is the longer-term problem for the Suns. If you have a new owner who doesn't care? That's different. If the new owner comes in here and wants to get under the Cap? This team is going to have a fire sale.
