The Nuggets have had their share of clutch losses and poor defense, but on the latest episode of "The Zach Lowe Show," Lowe and guest Mo Dakhil laid bare how Cam Johnson hasn't been helpful to Denver in either of those ways.
Johnson was acquired from the Nets in a trade that sent Michael Porter Jr. and a first-round pick in 2032 to Brooklyn. It was a necessary deal. Porter is making $17 million more than Johnson each of the next two years, and the Nuggets had no chance to get under the luxury tax threshold, a goal of the ownership group, if they kept Porter.
