Overview

• On the Glory Daze podcast, Porter said Jokic’s group-chat goodbye read, “Wrap it up out there… make sure you wear a condom,” a clip that quickly circulated online.
• Porter recalled initially doubting Jokic in his first camp before later calling him the best player in the world and praising his rigorous, consistent work habits.
• Denver dealt Porter and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson, then added Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jonas Valanciunas in a retool widely ranked among the league’s best offseasons.
• Analysts, including Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes, predict Porter’s counting stats and efficiency could dip in Brooklyn without Jokic’s elite playmaking and spacing.
• Porter has stayed in the spotlight with new interviews, saying he “always cooked” the Lakers in past playoffs and previously discussing personal vices and gambling risks referencing his brother’s ban.
