Nuggets Trade Regret: MPJ Swap Fizzles?
20 Nov
Summary
- Nuggets' trade sent Michael Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson.
- Johnson's performance in Denver has been disappointing early.
- The trade involved an unprotected first-round pick for the Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets recently executed a significant offseason trade, sending forward Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Cameron Johnson. This move aimed to alter the team's starting lineup, but early performance indicates it may be a source of regret for the franchise.
While the Nuggets are enjoying a strong 10-3 start to their season, the integration of Cameron Johnson has been less successful than anticipated. Johnson's shooting percentages, particularly from three-point range, have been significantly lower than expected, leading to questions about his fit and the effectiveness of the trade.
Despite Johnson's established track record as a quality player, the immediate impact of this trade has not lived up to expectations. For major trades, an early positive impact is often desired, and in this case, the Nuggets' investment has not paid off in the initial stages.
