Nuggets get the highest rating during offseason operations

The Athletic, the US media, rating the Nuggets during the offseason is A+, which is the highest level. This summer, the series of operations of the new general manager of the Nuggets are definitely remarkable. Even Jokic expressed his satisfaction, but he still refused to renew his contract in advance.

Let's first review the Nuggets' four operations:

1. Porter Jr., the first round pick and the Nets were exchanged for Cameron Johnson.

2. Salici single was exchanged for Varecunas.

3. Sign Brown and Hardaway Jr. with basic salary.

The most amazing thing here is that Porter Jr.'s salary is even higher than the total of these four new players next season. Porter Jr.'s salary will be 38.3 million next season, while these four players will be 20 million next season: Johnson, 10 million for Valan, Hardaway Jr., and 3.6 million for Brown, which will be 37.2 million for the combined.

So, it can be said that Porter Jr. and Saric exchanged these four people, and the Nuggets still had some salary left, and of course they also paid for a first round, but as long as the Nuggets and Jokic reach a contract renewal next summer, their draft picks will not be very valuable. In general, the Nuggets are definitely making money!

The US media Athletic also gave a reason to rating A+: "There is no doubt that the Nuggets are now in the championship. Their operations in this offseason not only found a qualified substitute center for Jokic, but also welcomed Brown to increase the stability of the substitute. The basic salary signing of Hardaway Jr. is a cost-effective signing. Many people question whether Johnson will be better than Porter Jr., but they can only say that the two have their own advantages, but they are not much different in any case. And from the defensive perspective, Johnson is the better one. In summary: The Nuggets not only enhanced the depth of the lineup and the outside shooting ability in the offseason, but also made significant upgrades in multiple key positions."

As for the comparison between Porter Jr. and Johnson, judging from the data of last season, the two are similar, and they look like a half-final.

Last season, Porter Jr. played 77 games, all starting, averaged 33.7 minutes per game, scored 18.2 points, 7 rebounds and 2.1 assists, shooting percentage of 50.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.5%. The data is really good, but considering that he is playing around Jokic, this data should have some moisture. In the playoffs, he averaged only 9.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, which saw a lot of declines.

Last season, Johnson played 57 games, all starting, averaging 31.6 minutes per game, scoring 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists, shooting percentage of 47.5% and three-point shooting percentage of 39%. Scoring is a career high, but in a team like the Nets, the data is also somewhat humid.

The two scored and efficiency were similar, so it is hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker. However, Nets reporters said that Porter Jr. may become the league's scoring champion next season... I wonder if Porter Jr. leaves Jokic and his data surges? Will it drop a little? I can only wait and see.

Nights are ranked second in the Western Conference in the league's strength list, second only to the Thunder, and are also ranked second with the Cavaliers in the probability of winning. In other words, as long as the Nuggets can defeat the Thunder in the West next season, they will predict that they will be the championship.

Nuggets lost to the Thunder in tiebreak in the playoffs last season, Gordon suffered a second-degree hamstring strain, and the core Yomu really beat the Thunder's Alexander and Jewish, but he was finally eliminated.

Do you think the Nuggets' new lineup will revenge the Thunder next season?
