Cameron Johnson on contract extension talks: My hope is that we can come to an agreement

Kellan Olson: Cam Johnson said there is no bad blood between him and Jae Crowder. Emphasized how good of a teammate Crowder is and how he could come to him with anything. Has learned with more time in the NBA that everyone’s situation is different. -via Twitter @KellanOlson / September 26, 2022

Evan Sidery: The Suns are in trade negotiations right now, mainly centered around Jae Crowder, per @Brian Windhorst. Bojan Bogdanovic is a potential target to monitor.

Q: I talked with Cam Johnson at his 3-on-3 (tournament) and like you were saying, he understands it’s part of the business because his name was also leaked to a possible Durant trade. Where are you guys now with him moving forward? He’s up for a rookie extension. Has improved every year. James Jones: “We’re having discussions. Cam is a big part of what we do. Really excited for the progress he’s shown over the last few years, especially last year. I think he’s primed to take some steps forward. We’re excited about this team and we’re excited about the guys on this team one through 16. He’s definitely someone we’re going to need to have take another step if we want to continue to progress and grow as a group.” -via Arizona Republic / September 10, 2022
