Michael Scotto on why Cam Johnson extension talks stalled

The regular season is well underway for the Phoenix Suns and across the NBA. Cam Johnson already has had some good games as a starter, has already torn his meniscus, leaving him out for 1-2 months, and is coming back up in the discourse this week.

Even as the whirlwind is spinning, we’re taking a look back at what kept the Suns from extending Johnson in the summer ahead of the final year of his rookie deal. HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported in part about that very topic on Monday.

The Phoenix Suns discussed a contract extension spanning four years between $66 and $72 million with forward Cameron Johnson at different points before the start of the season, league sources told HoopsHype.
