Michael Porter Jr: Everybody knows that if we don’t win this year, we might have to part ways.

All the questions about the Nuggets’ shooting and depth, and all the questions about whether the young players the team is counting on to replace key contributors to a championship-winning team in 2023 will ultimately be able to do so, have remained uncomfortable. “In general, people always want more and more, but they don’t know what they have,” Jokic said. “I’m really happy that we have a title, because not many very good players win it.” But the Nuggets have some of the best players in the world on their roster. By Booth’s definition, he is more than halfway through his prime. This raises perhaps the most important question in the NBA. How do you maximize what’s left? “If we don’t win it this year,” forward Michael Porter Jr. told ESPN. “We all know they might have to break it.”

… I kind of like Bill Simmons’ “Zeke Nnaji for Michael Porter Jr. and Zach LaVine” trade idea.
Chicago broke LaVine’s contract and addressed the ball-handling stagnation of Coby and Giddey.
Denver gets some much-needed creativity without sacrificing shooting. – 3:32 PM

Jamal had 13 points, Jokic had a near triple-double with 10p/8r/7a and MPJ had 11 points.
If you were Malone, what would your message be to your team? – 8:42 PM

Michael Malone is sticking with Brooklyn’s MPJ Beatles. Julian Strawther came on for Porter midway through the first quarter.

The Nuggets have inquired about Paul George this offseason, according to league sources. But the conversation never escalated, as Denver refused to discuss Brown, Watson and Strother, and the Clippers were not interested in just recouping future salaries. Perhaps the $147 million owed to Porter and Zeke Nnazy. – through ESPN / November 1, 2024

“I think there are a lot of players that like to get to the midrange and to the rim,” Porter said. “So we know that in this day and age, if a team gets three points, they score a lot. So, no KCP, my partner in crime. He was kind of a volume shooter last year. So we don’t really have a 3-point shooter. I think Jamal (Murray) shoots the 3-pointer, but he likes to get to the center. Joker should probably take a few more per game. But I know it’s up to me and Julian (Strawther) to be true 3-point shooters.” – through denver post / October 21, 2024

“With Denver, Joker [Nikola Jokic] He is the best player in the league. But Denver’s second-best player is regressing. Jamal Murray has never been the same. There are concerns about Jamal’s health and fitness right now. Michael Porter is also very overrated. He’s just a one-way player and scorer. I also don’t think Denver has the assets to upgrade. They will stay with the team they belong to.” – through SportsKeeda / October 14, 2024
