Three Contending Teams Linked To Nets Star Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr. was traded by the Denver Nuggets this season, and with free rein in Brooklyn, he's putting up some fantastic numbers in his first season with the Nets. In 24 games, MPJ has posted 26 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, and while many see it as empty stats given the Nets' poor record, teams around the league are taking notice.

Given that the Nets are continuing their rebuild as they look towards the future, it's likely that once again, they will be sellers ahead of the 2026 trade deadline. That means that Porter Jr. is likely to be dealt, and if he keeps up his current level of play, he should net this team an immense return of future assets.

Now, Evan Sidery has revealed that Milwaukee, Detroit, and Golden State are all teams to keep an eye on, as the three contending teams have all reportedly been in contact with Brooklyn over MPJ.

As the season rolls on and teams find out what they need to take them to the next level, there are likely to be more teams that will express interest in him as well, especially if he continues to shoot an impressive 40% from beyond the arc.

Ultimately, MPJ has been a key role player on a championship team before, and with all three of these teams needing an upgrade at the three, the Nets star could be the perfect fit for all of them.
