The Brooklyn Nets are signaling a degree of flexibility with Michael Porter Jr., as league observers expect the team to at least explore the trade market for the veteran forward.

According to reporting from Erik Slater, Brooklyn is not actively shopping Porter, but his strong early-season play has put him on the radar of teams looking for scoring and shooting on the wing.

Porter has been one of the Nets’ most productive players out of the gate, which has naturally sparked outside interest.

With Brooklyn still shaping its long-term direction, the front office is expected to listen closely to what other teams might be willing to offer, especially if those discussions include future assets.

Porter has played 7 seasons for the Nuggets and Nets. He has averaged 16.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 366 regular-season games. He has won 1 NBA championship.
