With the lineup depth and the wounded soldiers are full of camp, although the Nuggets did not enter the Western Conference Finals, they could force the regular season champion Thunder into the tiebreak battle, which has won everyone's respect. However, Nuggets forward Michael Porter was probably affected by injury and performed very poorly in the playoffs. In addition, his salary was very high, which led to the Nuggets seriously considering the possibility of sending Michael Porter away.

Although Michael Porter's form plummeted during this year's playoffs, this striker is still a hot spot in the market. According to relevant statistics from the gambling website, Michael Porter's odds at the top of the list with the Warriors, the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers ranked second and third. In addition, popular teams such as the Clippers and Suns Celtics also successfully made the list. Although Michael Porter is a high salary, he can provide a stable lower limit in the regular season. He averaged 18.2 points, 7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. If he did not have a poor free throw percentage, Michael Porter could actually enter the 180 Club. But his injury affected a lot in the playoffs. In fact, Michael Porter was the first popular market for the No. 1 pick. It was because of a serious injury that caused the pick to plummet, almost falling out of the lottery zone, and was finally picked up by the Nuggets. After getting the maximum salary contract, Michael Porter can still be the leader of the Nuggets as long as he is in good health. He also helped the team win the championship that year. His jump shot was not only beautiful but also very obvious on the court.

However, during this year's playoffs, Michael Porter collapsed. He averaged only 9.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Even if Michael Porter fights with injury, you have no effect on the court. Apart from being commendable, it will not bring positive help to the team. In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in the tiebreak and missed the Western Conference Final for the second consecutive year. Everyone knows that the Nuggets' lineup will be difficult to continue to compete for the championship, but the salary space is completely blocked, so if adjustments are needed, Michael Porter will definitely give priority to cleaning up.

Of course, even if you leave the Nuggets, Michael Porter should not be short of suitors, and the list includes a large number of traffic teams. Whether the Lakers, Warriors, Suns or Clippers, they all need to upgrade the front line. As for the defending champion Celtics, they have been blocked by the Knicks from the East Finals, all of them were injured. Especially Jason Tatum will miss most of the journey of the new season, so naturally, a substitute needs to make up for the gap or increase the thickness as much as possible.
