The Nuggets also send a 2032 unprotected first rounder to Brooklyn. 

Johnson has been on the trade block for a couple of years, as the Nets continue their rebuild.

For Denver, the move saves them $17 million and they have their full midlevel exception, allowing them to target another solid piece in free agency.
