For the Denver Nuggets fans who are interested in knowing where Michael Porter Jr. will end up next, there is a chance that the Nets won't trade him before the Feb. 5 deadline. John Hollinger of The Athletic reported on Saturday that MPJ is "a lock to move by the deadline." However, on Sunday, NBA insider Marc Stein said he "keeps hearing pushback" about Brooklyn's willingness to move on from him (subscription required).
Porter is averaging a career-high 25.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game for the Nets, shooting 49% from the field and 39.
