Overview
- Action Network’s Matt Moore reports Los Angeles has discussed Michael Porter Jr. and Nicolas Claxton with Brooklyn.
- Porter is in the midst of a career year with Brooklyn, averaging 25.7 points and shooting near 40% from three.
- Recent reporting indicates the Nets would seek at least one unprotected first-round pick in any Porter or Claxton deal.
- The Lakers are reportedly reluctant to include Austin Reaves, steering potential packages toward multi-player salary matches built around role players such as Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent.
- Porter’s $38.3 million salary complicates construction of a deal, and with the Feb. 5 deadline approaching there is interest but no agreement in place.
