Michael Porter Jr. Not a Lock to Remain in Denver
Michael Porter Jr. on the roster, at least for one more season. While Durando didn't rule out the possibility of MPJ getting moved this offseason, vice chairman Josh Kroenke has expressed a desire to keep the team's core together. With that said, the Nuggets' payroll continues to increase, and it is expected to rise even more if forward Christian Braun agrees to a contract extension in the coming months. Yet, finding a suitor for Porter may not be realistic. Although that should change after this season, when he'll have one year left on his current contract. The 26-year-old will certainly draw interest from teams around the National Basketball Association. While he had issues staying healthy at the start of his career, he's appeared in 158 games in the last two seasons. Porter is also coming off one of the best years of his career, ending the 2024-25 campaign by averaging 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 39.5% shooting from behind the arc. Assuming he can stay on the floor and off the injury report, he should remain as productive, regardless of what uniform he is wearing in 2025-26 and beyond.
