Pistons Explore Michael Porter Jr. Trade as Nets Weigh Whether to Deal
The Nets have not committed to moving their leading scorer despite Detroit’s internal interest.
Overview
- Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reports the Pistons have discussed Michael Porter Jr. internally, with no indication they have formally called Brooklyn.
- Multiple outlets outline a frequently cited Detroit framework built around Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey and at least one first-round pick.
- Reporting from several NBA insiders indicates Brooklyn remains uncertain about trading Porter and may prefer to keep him for offseason moves.
- Analysts describe a Harris–Ivey–picks offer as a clean cap match but question the value given Detroit’s likely low firsts and Ivey’s reduced role and pending restricted free agency.
- Porter is earning about $38.3 million this season, and any decision would need to come before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.
