On Tuesday evening, NBA insider Jake Fischer, who was on a Bleacher Report livestream, predicted that the biggest name that could be moved before the Feb. 5 deadline is none other than former Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr.
Denver traded Porter to Brooklyn at the end of June, along with an unprotected 2032 first-round pick, for Cam Johnson. The move saved the Nuggets $35 million over the next two years, as MPJ is making $38.3 million this season and will make $40.8 million next season. For reference, Johnson is making $21 million this season and will make $23 million next season.
