The Nuggets No. 1 player to leave the team? 35.85 million averages 9+5 per game, and the US media predicts that the next company: The Warriors rank first

On May 21, with the start of the NBA division final, there are only four teams left in the league to fight for the championship, and some of the eliminated strong teams are preparing to strengthen. The Warriors and the Lakers will inevitably be very radical teams in the offseason. They already have a good core team. As long as the team makes up for the shortcomings, they will be a championship team next season. The Nuggets have relied on their deformed lineup to enter the second round this season and have reached the tiebreak with the popular Thunder for the championship, which is worthy of praise.

After being eliminated, Jokic was asked whether the team could compete for the championship next season if they maintain their current lineup. Jokic believes that it is impossible. There are two key factors for the Nuggets to reach the second round this season. The first is Jokic, the first player in the league. Relying on his outstanding personal abilities, he has created many offensive opportunities for the team. As long as Jokic is on the court, the Nuggets can compete with any strong team.

The second reason is their resilience. This team really wants to compete for the championship. Aaron Gordon still insists on playing with a second-degree hamstring strain. Porter Jr. has been getting painkiller injections and also chooses to play. Murray has not rested when he encounters traffic. When the substitute lineup is obviously inferior to his opponent, their main players have been respected by persistence. Although the Nuggets have failed to win the championship this season, they have exceeded expectations this season.

The team leader Jokic is not satisfied with the lineup, so the Nuggets will inevitably change in the offseason. They will not be able to change it now. Previously, salary expert Max Bobby analyzed the Nuggets' salary structure. Currently, 13 people in the team have contracts. Their salary will exceed the first tyrant line next season, and the luxury tax will reach a new high of 36 million, and more importantly, Braun will face renewal.

In the playoffs, Braun averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He has the best ability to go without the ball and is also very active on the defensive end. He is very suitable for playing around Jokic. He has the opportunity to sign a five-year long appointment with the Nuggets. The Nuggets must want to keep him, and it is also necessary for the team to change their salary structure. Otherwise, even if the team maintains its current lineup, the team's salary pressure will become increasingly greater. There are probably someone who will leave the team's four main players, Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr. and Gordon. Who is most likely to leave? It is estimated that fans have already had ideas in their minds. I believe that more fans hope that Porter Jr. will leave the team. After all, his performance in the past is a premium contract. Porter Jr. averaged 9.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs this season, and his shooting percentage was only 39%. Although injuries were a major reason for his poor performance, judging from his past performance, he was not worth the annual salary of 35.85 million this season.

The Nuggets' record also verified our guess. According to the reporter, the current lineup thickness of the Nuggets is far from enough. In order to increase the lineup thickness in this offseason, in addition to relying on the growth of young players, the only way is to change the core lineup. The current core four-man group accounts for 82% of the team's salary space, and the new contract between Murray and Gordon will take effect. Former general manager Calvin Booth talked about Murray's deal last offseason before giving him a contract extension. The recent signal from management is that Porter Jr. is ultimately the one who was sacrificed.

Potter Jr. is nicknamed White Death. Although he did not fulfill his talent in the template Durant, he relied on his excellent shooting ability to become a perfect match for Jokic, so he won a contract renewal of 170 million yuan. However, Porter Jr. has limited ability to fight, and he is not stable in the face of high-intensity defense, and he is often troubled by back injuries. Therefore, considering his salary and performance, it is wise for the Nuggets to give up him, and Porter Jr. is not difficult to shake his hands, after all, he is only 26 years old.

Today, the US media NBA Central also predicted Porter Jr.'s next home, the Warriors ranked first, the Bulls second, the Lakers third, the Magic fourth, and the Celtics fifth, with the Clippers 6-9, followed by the Clippers, the Trail Blazers, the Suns and the Raptors. The Warriors are interested in him mainly because of his playing style. He has always been running without the ball, which looks very suitable for the Warriors' system. The Bulls have been interested in him long ago. They had thought of using LaVine to exchange Porter, but the Nuggets gave up.

As for other teams, I think the Lakers may not win him. After all, the team has many large contracts, and the Magic may be interested in him. The Magic lacks the most is the shooter. They have many young players and sufficient salary space. They can take Porter's contract. Is the Celtics likely to be big? This summer, the Celtics may embark on the road of reconstruction. After all, Tatum may not be able to make a comeback next season. If the Nuggets send Porter away, they can get excellent 3D or top substitute firepower, and they will be stronger. I hope they can keep Westbrook in the offseason.
