D-Line Co.

He's definitely going to get a really thorough video tribute.

You know, I feel like there are tears of video tributes that teams do for their ex players.

Tears was the right word.

You know, like when a guy wins a championship and is an integral piece and has been a like founding member of a team for a long time, like Michael Porter was, he's going to get the full treatment.

Yeah.

You know, when a guy was maybe just had a cup of coffee on a team for a season, maybe they just get a still image and like a thank you banner.

Porter's going to get the full treatment and he absolutely deserves it.

But I do think it's going to be an intense game just from a matchup perspective.

Well, they already gave it to Curtis Jones.

Yeah.

I've really battled with this one, and...

I do think it's a win-win, first and foremost.

I do think the Nuggets are a better team because of the trade, and I do think the Nets are, and both teams are in better positions overall.

Something I have been thinking about, though, is with David Adelman at the helm, could things have looked a lot different this season if Michael Porter Jr.

had been here than they did with that roster under Michael Malone?

And I mean, I think I was leading the charge of like, this is a great trade the moment it happened.

This can make the Nuggets offense look differently.

This can change up how they run the bench unit and everything.

But...

with what David Allman has done in terms of changing, like, the identity of the Nuggets, with how he's injected confidence into some of these guys that did not have it last year, and the leap we've seen some of them make.
