On the outside looking in, you’d think it was a raw deal for Michael Porter Jr.
After all, he was traded from a Denver Nuggets team that drafted him (and later won a championship) to a Brooklyn Nets team that’s in the middle of a potentially long rebuild.

The interview comes 10 days after the trade was announced and a day after the trade became official.
