For Porter Jr., leaving Denver wasn't easy. "It was tough saying goodbye to my teammates," he admitted, mentioning Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon in particular.
But Nikola Jokic lightened the mood with his trademark humor. According to Porter, the three-time MVP texted him: "Make sure you wear condom out there."
Last season, the 27-year-old Porter played 77 games for Denver, averaging 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, while shooting an efficient 50.4% from the field and 39.5% from three-point range.
In Brooklyn, the Nets are planning a major role for their new forward.
