Michael Porter Jr. has been making waves this season with his play in Brooklyn, becoming a potential first-time All-Star and one of the most sought-after trade deadline candidates. Yet, some people still aren’t buying it, as Bill Simmons repeatedly stated on a recent podcast with Rob Mahoney of the Ringer, that he still doesn’t like the trade for the Nets.
Despite admitting that Porter Jr. has played great and it has worked out well, Simmons still insists that the Nuggets would have paid to get off of Mike’s contract and that Cam Johnson was worth multiple first-round picks on the open market.
