Crazy! 76ers, Nuggets are interested! The Bucks also grab it, is the Trail Blazers old player so attractive?

Send Porter Jr., and gets Cameron Johnson in the first round of 32 years without protection. This summer, the Nuggets management rarely gets crazy.

Losing Porter Jr. has a great impact on the Nuggets?

Season 24-25, when Porter Jr. was on the court, the team had a net victory of 4.4 points in 100 rounds, and when he was not on the court, the team had a net victory of 1.8 points in 100 rounds. The difference of 2.6 means that leaving the team will definitely have an impact, but it is relatively small.

For reference, Murray, who also performed poorly, had a net loss of 6.5 points in a hundred rounds, and when he was not present, the team lost 0.3 points in a hundred rounds.

What can Johnson bring to the Nuggets?

In the 340 games so far, three-point shooting accounts for 60.4%, with an average of 2.3 three-pointers and a shooting rate of 39.2%.

Three-pointers have both quality and stability, and it is obvious that Johnson can be divided into the ranks of top scorers. It brings it to fill the Nuggets' external firepower and enrich the team's skills and tactics. To put it more, the Nuggets' overall three-point shooting accounted for 35.6% and the shooting rate was 37.6%.

Speaking of this, let me say something more. In the 24-25 season, Jokic made a total of 1,363 shots, of which 835 were from the opponent within 4 feet of the distance. The shooting that accounts for as high as 61.3% comes from high defense. It is obvious that Johnson's existence can restrain the defenders from opening up space for "Teacher Yo"'s offense.

Furthermore, Johnson can also receive Jokic's pass to form a score. Therefore, it is largely a matter of view that the two are complementary.

is still related to reinforcement.

According to the NBA China official website, the 76ers and the Nuggets are interested in Simmons, and the Bucks may also bid before the start of training camp.

Putting aside the 76ers and the Bucks, in my opinion, the Nuggets' trading of Simmons is not very meaningful.

First, position. In the 10,420 minutes of his career, Simmons accounted for 49% of the number one position and 49% played the number two position. Obviously, this is a dual-energy guard. But the problem is that the Nuggets have Murray, and there is also Christian Brown who is in the rising period.

Second, three points. So far, he has made 52.9% of his three-point shooting, averaged 2.5 three-pointers and a shooting rate of 38.1%. From a data perspective, Simmons is more like Johnson's "shrinked version".

To sum up two points, whether from the position or the three-point characteristics, for Simmons, the Nuggets have alternatives and are alternatives with stronger combat power.

Based on this, what is the significance of the Nuggets trading? Or if many teams are interested, what is the attractiveness of Simmons, the Trail Blazer veteran?

My understanding is that Simmons' immediate combat power is more attractive, but more of the 27 million expiration contract. To be precise, it can help teams such as the Nuggets to free up their salary space. For example, the Bucks have a relatively premium price for Kuzma and even a junk contract.

Finally, let's wait and see who the Simmons falls.
