When teams have a young, talented player coming off a rookie contract, they’re always eager to re-sign them as fast as possible. The league even helps teams by letting them extend the player a full calendar year before their contract is up.
That should be the case for Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets.
While MPJ isn’t a superstar like Trae Young or Luka Doncic, he’s talented enough to warrant an extension.
