Just got off the phone with MPJ’s agent, Mark Bartelstein. Raved about Tim/#Nuggets and Stan and Josh’s involvement in the deal. Will have his comments in an updated news story. – 7:26 PM

I’ve seen a lot of “How much for MPJ?” stuff in the timeline. I don’t know if people realize how good of a shooter/scorer combo MPJ was last year. I thought he might get a touch less than the max, but sounds like the trade-off was some non-guaranteed money on the end, per @Ryan McDonough – 6:52 PM

“We, as a family, are just super grateful to the #Nuggets organization, to the Kroenkes … That’s a lot trust in a young dude,” Michael Porter Sr. tells @denverpost of his son’s new deal.

Man, the Nuggets had to pay them, I guess, but that’s a lot of money for Gordon and MPJ – 5:23 PM

Michael Porter Jr. is now a max player, but his career nearly ended before it began.
After a back injury, he needed multiple spinal surgeries. The Clippers’ doctor predicted that Porter would never play again.

Michael Singer: Talked with Michael Porter Jr.’s dad for a few minutes. He brought up how remarkable it is that only a few years ago, his son was laying in a hospital bed after his second back surgery. To get to today is nothing short of incredible. Called it a “pinch me” moment. -via Twitter @msinger / September 27, 2021
