Nuggets sent Porter Jr. to revitalize the team, and they will still be the championship team next season

The Nuggets and the Nets had a 2-for-1 deal. They exchanged for Porter Jr. + the unprotected first round in 2032 "Huang Zhong " Johnson. It can be said that this deal revitalized the Nuggets, not only saving nearly 40 million in luxury taxes. And he also re-signed an important substitute player Brown with a one-year contract. It can be said that the Nuggets have increased their strength and they are still the top three teams in the Western Conference next season.

Let's first look at the salary structure of Porter Jr. and Johnson. Both have two years of contract left. Porter Jr.'s salary will be 38.3 million next season and 40.8 million in the 26-27 season. Fans always criticize Porter for his high salary and low ability. Half of this salary is given by the Lakers. Now the Nuggets have finally gotten rid of his contract.

And Johnson's salary is much lower, with 21 million next season and 23 million in the 26-27 season. Johnson is also quite suitable for the Nuggets, and is also a tall three-point shooter, and his defense is definitely better than Porter Jr. As for fans who say that the speed is not as fast as Porter, maybe! But he had an explosion at the Nets last season, averaging 18.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 39%. Next season, he should be able to play more efficiently.

I personally think that Johnson's arrival will further strengthen the Nuggets' starting lineup. He will make the Nuggets' defense better, and he also has some independent offensive capabilities, breakthroughs, empty cuts, and fast attacks. He has these skills.

Johnson was very humble in an interview and said: "I am very excited. I have the opportunity to compete with some of the best players in the league. What more can I have? "

In addition, the Nuggets signed back Brown, the 22-23 season champion, with a one-year contract. The contract amount was not announced, but it should not be very high. This also filled the vacancy that Westbrook left and added a substitute to hold the ball. Brown still left a deep impression on the Nuggets season. He was like a sharp knife on the bench, providing a lot of offensive firepower.

Average of 11+4+3 in that season, but his condition declined in the past two seasons. Last season, the Raptors averaged 8.3 points and 4 rebounds per game. I don’t know if they can return after returning to the Nuggets.

These are two operations of the Nuggets' new management, and it is still very powerful. After getting rid of Porter Jr.'s big contract, the Nuggets saved nearly 40 million in luxury taxes and could use the team's full middle-class special case to sign up.

Some time ago, there was news that the Nuggets might trade Jokic, but now it should be nonsense. A top super giant in the league like Mr. Yo, unless he applies for a transaction himself, the team will never take the initiative to trade him.

However, it is still difficult for the Nuggets to win the championship, but it is not impossible. This year, when Porter Jr. played so badly, he also reached a tiebreak with the Thunder. The dual-core team met Mu Wan and beat the Thunder. The only pity is that Gordon's last second-degree strain, otherwise the outcome is really hard to say, so who dares to say that the Nuggets have no chance next season?

Nuggets are only one head coach short of now. I really don’t understand why Malone is fired. This new agent coach is obviously too different. In the playoffs, Jokic is both a father and a mother. Not only does he have to play on the court, but he also has to do the coach’s work part-time.

What do you think? After this deal, how strong will the Nuggets be next season? Is there a possibility of winning the championship?
