Nuggets Ink

Rehashing the Michael Porter Jr. trade and an incredible 24 hours for Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace


Listen Later

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene three days after the stunning trade of Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets. Among the topics discussed:
+ The Nuggets' two-man brain trust turned Porter's salary into four players: Cam Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. How in the world did they pull this off? And how long had executives Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace been mapping this out?
+ How much better does this make the Nuggets? What will the rotation look like come October? And how many of these players will actually be able to give the Nuggets depth in the postseason?
+In light of the first two weeks of the Tenzer-Wallace era, what's the confidence in this setup working going forward? Could other moves be made? Could these wizards find a way to dump Zeke Nnaji's contract, too? Maybe cure cancer?
+ Ranking the contenders after free agency and the draft: The boys all provide their our own Top 10 following player acquisition season.
+ Loose ends: Thoughts on the NBA Finals and the tragedy that was Tyrese Haliburton's Game 7 injury.
