The difference between the best case and the worst case scenarios of this blockbuster trade is so ridiculously big that we'd better just stay positive and welcome a new (and already very important) member of the Nuggets' golden generation, and wish him good health!
REMINDER: When Denver previously traded for an elite forward defender, team-oriented, and good at open 3pt, who is in his peak years (Aaron Gordon), it turned into a big success because AG not only fulfilled all expectations but also improved playing with Jokic, who is a perfect match for such players.

This is a big move because it replaces MPJ at a bargain salary. Good player who should thrive with Jokic.

Wonder if Cam will be able. to take his. game to the next level, something MPJ only showed glimpses of.

A more consistent MPJ, that can put the ball on the floor, and has a better bball IQ.

This deal surprised me. I liked Porter -- although felt he could have been a great help for our bench. Anyway, I did not believe he was tradeable -- not just because of salary and his bad-back reputation. I just didn't believe we could get any player that stood a chance of replacing him.
Wow, was I wrong. Johnson might actually fit better than Porter in our starting lineup. Although stats look good; I think Johnson's style of play might be better for our lineup.
Add to that, the front office managed to get some cap relief too? Amazing.
