During the break between two NBA seasons, the Denver Nuggets decided to change the team composition a bit and bring in several players who can contribute at a high level. To make that possible, they had to part with Michael Porter Jr., a winger who is one of the most deserving of winning a championship ring in 2023.
Although many speculated who would be traded, the news of the 27-year-old basketball player's departure to the Brooklyn Nets still came as a surprise to some fans and experts. How did he himself react when he found out that he was traded?
"I accepted it very easily. Honestly, I'm not a nervous guy. When I found out I was traded, I was on the plane. I said to myself, 'There, I'm traded.' After that, I took a nap," said Porter, who has played for the Nuggets since 2018.
Easy transition to a new team: What can we expect?
Moving to a new club should be easier for him, because in Brooklyn he will work with Fernandez, the coach who worked with him for four years when he was in Denver. This fact certainly facilitates adaptation and reduces the stress that usually comes with changing teams.
Although the parting with the Nuggets was unexpected for some, it is not a big problem for this experienced player. His calm approach and focus on further work clearly show how professional he is.
During his career, Porter proved that he is an important player, and now he has a chance to continue with good games in Brooklyn and to assert himself as a key factor of the new team.
All eyes will now be on his adaptation and success in his new environment.
Over the years, Porter has shown great dedication and work ethic, which his new coach recognized. His role on the team is expected to be significant, and fans in Brooklyn are eagerly awaiting his next appearances.
