Nets Field Interest in Michael Porter Jr. as Trade Market Builds Before Feb. 5 Deadline

Brooklyn is listening to offers following Porter’s breakout that has lifted his value.

Overview

  • Executives and reporting identify the Bucks, Pistons, Warriors and Bulls as teams evaluating Porter’s availability.
  • Milwaukee is monitoring him but faces limited draft capital, with no controllable first-round pick until 2031.
  • Golden State has held internal discussions on a pursuit, though a straight NetsWarriors deal is viewed as unlikely at present.
  • Detroit is labeled a team to watch, yet league reporting says the Pistons have not placed a call to Brooklyn.
  • The Nets are characterized as listening rather than shopping and could wait until the offseason; Porter is producing career-best numbers on a $38 million salary this season and about $40 million next year.
