Nets Trade Cam Johnson in Nuggets for Michael Porter Jr., 2032 Pick in the first round: Report

The nets are exchanged forward Cam Johnson to the Denver Pepite for the attacker Michael Porter Jr. And a choice of the first round.

The choice of the project brings no protection and is in 2032, as reported for the first time by Shams Charania of Espn. The agreement cannot be completed until 6 July.

Porter appeared in 77 games (all departures) last year in Denver, with an average of 18.2 points with 50.4 percent shooting (13.6 attempts) with 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists in 33.7 minutes. In a playoff performance up and down, it scored on average only 9.1 points with the shooting of 39.2 percent (8.6 attempts) with 5.5 rebounds in 31.1 minutes. Porter, who turned 27, was much better during the Nugget race to an NBA title in the post -Astation of 2023 when he scored on average 13.4 points and 8.1 rebounds in 32.7 minutes in 20 games.

The rear numbers annoyed Porter in the past, including having made him lose his campaign as a beginner after being the 14th overall selection in the draft 2018, after surgery kept him just three games at college. A third back surgery limited it to just nine games during the 2021-22 season.

Porter should earn $ 38.3 million for the season and $ 40.8 million for the 2026-27 campaign before becoming a free agent without restrictions.

Johnson, in 57 games last year for the nets, recorded an average of a career with 18.8 points per game, a 47.5 percent shot, 13.1 attempts per game and 31.6 minutes per game. He marked on average 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists while fighting several injuries during the season, his sixth in the championship.

Johnson has played parts of the last three seasons in Brooklyn after being acquired at the commercial deadline of 2023 in the four -team agreement he sent Kevin Durant to the sun of Phoenix and also brought Bridges Mikal and four shooting choices in the first round. He has signed a multi -year extension with the networks that follows the offseason.

The move takes Brooklyn about $ 17 million below the limit, which includes $ 12.1 million free agent Cam ThomasAccording to the votes of Espn.
