There is nothing like the start of NBA free agency, and last night's frenzy certainly lived up to the billing with big trades, big contracts and big statements. We'll start with the biggest surprise: The Nuggets traded Michael Porter Jr.

Denver has reportedly agreed to trade a key piece of its 2023 championship team, Michael Porter Jr., to the Brooklyn Nets along with an unnprotected 2032 first-round pick. The Nuggets will receive forward Cameron Johnson.

It’s a wonder that Michael Porter Jr.’s nickname isn’t “Trade Rumor,” because it seems like the Mizzou product has been on the block since the Denver Nuggets drafted him back in 2018.
