Mock trade sees Spurs land Michael Porter Jr. in deal with Nuggets

As the San Antonio Spurs look to improve their roster around Victor Wembanyama this summer, there are a lot of things they need. One need is additional three-point shooting. A mock trade written by Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report would see the Spurs add Michael Porter Jr., Zeke Nnaji, and the 28th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft while sending Keldon Johnson, Tre Jones, and Zach Collins to the Denver Nuggets.

“Jones and Collins would fill the backup point guard and center spots in Denver, giving this team a rotation that can go nine-deep in the playoffs once again,” Swawrtz wrote. “San Antonio gets the best overall player in the deal and has a clean enough cap sheet to absorb Porter’s contract and still retain cap space. His outside shooting would make a big difference for a Spurs team that ranked just 28th in three-point accuracy (34.7 percent) this season.”

Porter Jr.’s shooting and rebounding would make him an amazing fit next to Wembnyama, creating a nice frontcourt trio of those two and Wembanyama.

The Spurs would have to find a new point guard after this trade, but getting Porter Jr. would make it worth it.
