DENVER — The Nuggets are trading Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 unprotected first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, a league source told The Denver Post on Monday.
The trade will not officially go through until July 6, a source told The Post. Both players have two years remaining on their current contracts, but Johnson’s $21 million salary next season provides Denver with significant cap relief, moving the team under the first apron and creating more cap space in free agency.
Porter was drafted by the Nuggets 14th overall in 2018 and was part of the 2023 NBA championship-winning team.
