Porter had a breakout season, averaging 19.0 PPG and 7.3 RPG and president of basketball operations Tim Connelly is eager to lock up his combo forward long-term.
It’s fun when you see guys like that where he had to battle through adversity and all the injuries,” Connelly said.
Real question is whether Connelly is up to initiating star for star trade talks involving MPJ, which might allow for a roster better configured around Jokic? I think he should.
Trading MPJ for a great player is certainly an option, doing so because “he’s a poor defender with a bad handle” is just laughable.
