Overview
- The Athletic’s John Hollinger cited a trusted league source who called Porter a lock to be moved by the trade deadline.
- Hollinger proposed a sell‑high, buy‑low framework in which Brooklyn would send Porter for Ja Morant plus draft assets, presented as a hypothetical.
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Grizzlies are considering offers for Morant for the first time since drafting him in 2019.
- Hollinger outlined potential multi‑team constructions that would route Porter to a third club while Brooklyn lands Morant and the sides split draft compensation.
- Porter is delivering a career year at 25.9 points per game on 49.0% shooting and 39.7% from three, and NBC Sports reporting indicates Brooklyn could seek up to two first‑round picks.
