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

OG's better than MPJ.

Does OG even stay on the floor?

 

[NoMorePie]

Just stay healthy, now..

He's been healthy.

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

He’s been great for the Nuggets, though. Lucked into getting him in the draft and he was instrumental in bringing a first chip to Denver. This has also been his best year. He’s limited by the Nuggets’s offensive focus on the two-man playmaking of Jokic and Murray but he’s still managed to develop into a pretty complete player in spite of that. He’s not the black hole that he started as. He also has the capability to go the fukk off which is a nice luxury. I don’t think he’ll ever reach the full potential he had in high school because of the injuries but he’s a walking miracle because of what he’s accomplished and how he’s been able to stay on the floor. Inspiring journey. Show me a team where the third highest paid player is significantly better.

He also bought in way more than anyone expected. From a guy that was comparing himself to KD and Giannis before the draft to improving himself as a defender, settling into the 3rd option role and never trying to force himself into a bigger role here or by a trade.

The crazy thing about MPJ is if he didn't speak up at the postgame press conference after that Clipper game Mike Malone would have probably buried him on the bench and he would have ended up like Bol Bol.

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.

He played more games than MPJ last season and historically, more per season.

Boston, LAC, OKC, Minnesota, NYK, Lakers, Milwaukee if we count Brook Lopez, Indiana once next season begins and Myles Turner is third highest.

So you don't think plenty of guys could have averaged 13 a game on 42%/35% shooting in the postseason last year? Bruce Brown was closing quite a few games last year for Denver over him and MPJ was horrendous in the Finals.

MPJ isn't dogshyt. He's a really good rebounder, good, streaky spot-up shooter and has definitely improved defensively but there's guys who could step in and produce just as much if not more than him in Denver playing off Jokic.

If he was making 20 a year, this would check out but he's been the highest or second highest paid player on the Sixers since 2018.

So yes, while Embiid is the biggest problem, Harris is definitely a reason Philly hasn't broken through, especially when you consider they chose him over Jimmy Butler.

Yep, exactly. He could’ve been a chemistry killer. He sometimes sits in big moments and doesn’t sulk like he used to. He just seems to be focused on his role on the team and helping toward winning more often than not.
