“It’s been a whirlwind,” said Porter, who found out he’d been traded from the only team he’d ever known while flying to Saint-Tropez, France. He reacted as expected. “I flipped the script in my head pretty quick. Honestly, I’m not like a super anxious guy. So on the plane when I found out, I was just like, ‘Well, I’m traded,’ and took a nap afterwards. [But] I’m excited to be here, though. I love Denver, I love my time there, but I’m excited for this new chapter.”

Asked Michael Porter Jr. why he felt his ceiling “plateaued” in Denver and what he’s expecting with Brooklyn:
“I averaged 21 [points] one year. Last year, I was around 18 as the third option. I just feel like I have more in my tank still. I don’t feel like I’ve reached my peak, pic.x.com/yHYooCOAqR – 10:06 PM

More on this storyline
Over the past three seasons, he’s averaged 17.4 points on .492/.404/.795 splits and .612 true shooting. But in 22 games without Jokic, those figures fell to 15.9 points on .440/.268/.707 splits and .525 true shooting. A catch-and-shoot deadeye, Porter will need to improve his self-creation game. “It’s gonna be like exploring the game and working on the things in practice. Part of being a successful NBA player is when you’re working on things during the season, you should work on the shots and things you’re gonna get in the game,” Porter said. “I feel like now my daily preparation and my daily work will be a little bit different, and hopefully, that translates over to the game. -via New York Post / July 14, 2025
