The Nuggets returned to the championship ranks with two runs! 2-for-1 averaged 19+ forwards, bringing back Bruce Brown
5:33pm, 1 July 2025【Basketball】
On July 1, the free market officially opened. Today, many teams in the league have started to sign crazy contracts, among which the Grizzlies and the Rockets are the most active. The Rockets signed Finney Smith, renewed Holiday Jr., Jeff Green and Tate, and brought back the Card King. The Grizzlies renewed their contract with Jalen Jackson and won Jerome. It can be seen that both teams want to pursue their record in the new season, and the Rockets' goal is to win the championship.
In contrast, the operations of the Lakers and the Warriors are surprising. The Warriors have not yet introduced players. On the contrary, they have lost Rooney and were poached by the Pelicans. The Lakers lost Finney Smith. Although they signed Laravia, it was obvious that this person was not as good as Finney Smith. Looking at the Lakers and the Warriors' performance in a daze, many fans were probably disappointed. However, they had taken action and had a very good job in the Nuggets, who had previously expressed their intention to strengthen the championship.
First, the Nuggets and the Nets reached a 2-for-1 deal. The team sent Porter Jr. and the 31-year unprotected first-round pick to get Cameron Johnson. This deal not only strengthened the Nuggets, but also freed up their salary space to avoid the pressure of luxury taxes. The Nuggets had thought about sending Porter away as early as the trading deadline, but because his price was too high and there was no suitable player, the Nuggets put it on hold.
, and Cameron Johnson's asking price was three first-round picks, it is estimated that the Nets also realized that good things like trading Bridges are hard to come by, so they lowered the trading standards. Cameron Johnson can be said to be one of the best 3D players in the active league. He can switch to multiple defense positions, his single defense ability and assisted defense ability are top-notch, and his space ability is also excellent, and he also has a certain ball-holding offense ability. He is a small Porter with an enhanced offense and defense version, and the price is cheap.
This season, Cameron Johnson averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39%. As the team's first core, he is still the efficiency of being strictly guarded by his opponent in every game. Cameron Johnson has helped the Suns to reach the finals before, and his tough battle ability is obvious to all. This is something that Porter Jr. does not have, and he is healthier than Porter Jr. In the new season, Cameron Johnson's annual salary is only 20.54 million yuan, while Porter Jr.'s 38.33 million yuan. After the deal was completed, the Nuggets not only strengthened, but also reduced their spending, saving $40 million, getting a 14.1 million middle class special case, and the team also avoided luxury taxes. This transaction is too profitable, and the new Nuggets president has something to do. After the Nets got Porter Jr., they also liked it very much. The team did not want to trade and send him away. Instead, they wanted to keep Porter Jr.
It is estimated that the Nets thought that Porter Jr. was the white god of death back then. Because of frequent waist injuries, Porter Jr.'s explosive power is no longer good. Now he can only play as a space shooter. However, he is still talented. He is 2.08 meters tall and pulls out his hand outside the three-point line. It is difficult for the opponent to limit his offense. If he is given enough ball rights, he may be able to play an average of 20+ per game. When the Nets do not pursue record, there are more ball rights, which may be an opportunity for Porter Jr.
The Nets do this, in fact, everyone should have seen their ideas. The Nets want to learn from the Thunder. They want to eat garbage contracts for other teams, so that these garbage contracts can be reproved, and then trade them. The Nets now have 5 25 rookies, and the team wants to focus on cultivating them, so they probably will send Clarkston away in the future. Now that Capela and Dalow have both been signed, Clarkston's trading value will be improved.
After introducing Cameron Johnson, the Nuggets then signed Bruce Brown back. I believe everyone is familiar with this person. He helped the Nuggets win the championship in 23 years. Bruce Brown's enthusiasm is what the Nuggets need. His impact and defense can support the Nuggets on the bench. His unstoppable empty cut is also great, which is suitable for playing around Jokic. Moreover, signing him back is just a basic salary contract, which is too worth it.
After winning Bruce Brown, it is estimated that the Nuggets will still have operations. They still have salary space and can introduce a good substitute player. The news now is that the Nuggets are interested in the Rockets' White Demons, but to be honest, it is estimated that it is difficult for them to win the White Demons with their trading assets. However, with the competitiveness shown by the Nuggets now, there are probably many good puzzles that are willing to join the basic salary.
Nuggets' starting players next season are Murray, Braun, Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Jokic, and Watson, Strauser and Bruce Brown on the bench, who also have the ability to win the championship. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Nuggets? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
