Im not too sure about that one

Johnson is making 7.6 mil this season and 8.2 mil next season for a player who has maxed at 12 PPG, 8 RPG with no shot blocking ability

He is good depth for the 3/4 but that salary imo is too much for Johnson's ability so with the Nuggets able to clear up 8.2 mil next season, that is a win but I also see why the Cavs went for this too

Good deal for both sides

Yeah I think he’s an upgrade this year at SF.. I mulled over bigger moves but we’ll see how my guys develop in the off-season. I figure next year worst case I can use johnson as an expiring contract to make a bigger move next year.

He's a great fit at SF. 12/8 with no blocks is not great at PF but at SF with high usage scorers already there his defense, rebounding, and low TOs make him a very solid 5th starter. Compare that to the value of a late 2nd and its a clear win, though it is true he's not doing much for a Nuggets team at the bottom of the standings.

I also lumped the Johnson deal into my overall sentiment.

I think it's a win for both. Salary dump for the nuggets and free depth for the cavs
