Porter and Watson Reflect on Denver | Brooklyn Nets News

Michael Porter Jr. is in contract negotiation mode with the Brooklyn Nets, aiming to lock in his extension before the 2026-27 season, while taking downtime to chat with former teammate Peyton Watson—now with the Cavaliers. Watson opened up about his own trade from Denver, which was driven by financial pressure and lack of cap space, part of a massive five-team deal that sent him to Cleveland. The twist? Porter had already signed his Denver extension before being traded to Brooklyn—a move Denver made to save money. Both players are adjusting to new teams but still carry lingering emotions from leaving Denver. For now, Porter’s focus is on winning next season, and he’s finding comfort in connecting with Watson, who went through a similar summer upheaval.
