Nuggets trade Michael Porter Jr. to Nets in bombshell Cam Johnson deal

The Denver Nuggets have agreed to trade forward Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for forward Cam Johnson, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

After hearing his name come up in discussions at the trade deadline in February, the Nuggets have now completed a massive roster shift by sending Porter to Brooklyn.

Porter, 27, was a pivotal part of the Nuggets' championship run in 2023. In six seasons with Denver, Porter averaged 16.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while shooting 40.6 percent from 3-point range.

The Nuggets had been heavily restrained as an apron team with Porter's contract, which is why this is a significant shift to acquire Johnson, who is also known to be a catch-and-shoot threat on the wing.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
