General Manager of the Brooklyn Nets Sean Marks had his eyes set on restricted free agent Otto Porter Jr. from the jump last summer. So it was to no one’s surprise when the 24-year old forward signed a four-year offer sheet from Brooklyn on July 6.
However, Washington struck out in free agency and had no choice but to match the offer. One year later, after a first-round exit in the playoffs, the Wizards are back at the drawing board. Could they be persuaded into a trade that lands Porter in Brooklyn?
Brooklyn’s season failed to meet the anticipation held at the end of summer.
