1. Tank commander MPJ?

   Edit: Three guys to pass, two to shoot. Sounds like a good plan to me.

2. Michael Porter Jr either scoring 27 a night next year or playing 27 games

3. BANG

4. Love it for Denver

5. THATS ALL IT TOOK??

6. Woah wtf

   And just like that, the Nuggets look like legit title contenders again. Johnson is a perfect fit for them.

   Edit: Everyone replying to me seems to completely forget that the Nuggets took the champs to 7 games while MPJ was a complete no show. I said what I said, this move puts them in direct title contention again. You get a player who not only fits better with the team, but is also significantly cheaper.

7. BRO THE NEW NUGGETS GM IS CRAZY

8. WOAH okay

9. SHAMS BOMB

10. THIS THE FIRST SHAM BOMB POST TAMPERING

11. Great get for the nuggs

12. SOMETHING COOL HAPPENED

13. Okay, now you have my attention shams

14. Yo I had thought of this exact trade multiple times

15. Damn this moves me lol

16. Perfect for Denver man

17. Holy shit great move by the nuggets

18. FINALLY NEWS

19. Cam finally got traded wow

20. W trade for Nuggets

21. CAM THOMAS AND MPJ ON THE SAME TEAM

22. Great deal for the Nuggets

    Johnson can shoot and play better defense, and overall just has better basketball IQ

23. Lowkey that’s big for Denver if Cam stays healthy

24. DAMN good job Denver.

25. WOW. Puts Denver right in the hunt next year

26. Does cam johnson move the needle more than MPJ or is this just a salary dump

27. Good for both side.
    Nuggets go hard in; Nets likely get a good pick after Joker’s prime

28. that’s a hell of a pick. where are the nuggets 7(!!!!) years from now

29. WHOAAAAAAAAAA

    I had a feeling this was gonna happen after Jokic’s comments but finally!

30. THATS IT? I WAS TOLD HE WAS NEGATIVE VALUE

31. Isn’t that dirt cheap wtf

32. Jokic somewhere crying tears of joy

33. So THIS is why they took all those PGs

    To feed MPJ looks

34. Mfers just upgraded their MPJ to a better version for one first??

35. CAM ON THE NUGGETS HELL YEAH

36. Holy fuck nuggets made an actual move

37. Damn, I kinda love this for Brooklyn. That 2032 first round pick could end up really valuable in seven years.
    edit: math hard

38. makes the nuggets instantly a lot better fuck

39. Great deal for both sides. Denver gets out from under their worst contract, while the Nets get a flier on a prime-ish guy to fill their cap and a pick.

40. Cam Thomas and MPJ might be both average 30 a game 😭with 0.5 assist

41. Damn the part of this that will fly under the radar is that now Porter will be the old guy at only 27 years old in the locker room full of rookies lmao.

42. Think that’s a good move for Denver, MPJ just not reliable enough and Cam Johnson is a bucket

43. 2032 pick is great as well. We’ll all probably be dead by then anyways.

44. Honestly I feel like people are underrating this trade from Brooklyn’s side

    Denver’s 2032 unprotected first is a very good asset for a rebuilding team

45. MPJ contract is huge Nuggets are saving money as well and getting a good player in Cam Johnson, they already also signed Bruce Brown cause they are under 1st apron now

46. Damn, Denver COOKED

47. The nuggets team with that took OKC to 7 swapping a 1 armed MPJ for CJ and adding Bruce Brown wins that series
