Michael Porter jr to stay with Denver on 5 yr-172 (possible 207) million dollar Rookie extension.

[Two Stacks]

hopefully we see a big leap in his game next year

 

[Flex Grossman]

He was actually horrible outside of game 1. Nuggets need to get off of his contract asap.

He was great tonight. His only elite trait abandoned him in the finals and he still came up huge to win a championship.

 

[Da_Eggman]

turned out pretty smart

I think more than anything this shows that yiu have to be willing to take risks when franchise building with young players.You can't be worried so much about things going left becuse the upside and growth opportunity is so valuable.

In Denver's case it was more so luck as they almost ended up trading the pick to cut salary but other teams had no interest in doing so.

The interesting thing about it now is that they’d probably take that exact same gamble again with how set they are at the 5 and can afford to wait.

Not many contending teams are in that type of situation that they can afford to wait on a player to come along.

Still a horrendous contract. Basically another Tobias Harris. If Denver could move him without attaching multiple firsts for an upgrade, they would.

Nahhhh unlike that Tobias Harris, the last year of MPJ deal isn't fully guaranteed and I highly doubt that he'll see the full amount of it.

OG's better than MPJ.

They'll reup him by then

I mean to be fair who wouldn't you trade if you could upgrade without giving up picks? Lol

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

They don’t win a title without him

 

[who_better_than_me]

It became fully guaranteed once they won a championship. That was one of the incentives in his contract

I mean they'd have to bend over backwards to move him. How many picks would Brooklyn need to give Denver Cam Johnson for MPJ?

 

[L&HH]

Tobias Harris and his contract aren’t the reasons why the Sixers ain’t been to the Finals though. Embiid, Ben Simmons, James Harden, Doc Rivers and their shortcomings in the playoffs.
