After the Denver Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans on February 3rd, 2025, head coach, Michael Malone, answered a burning question. Malone stated after being asked about a potential trade that there are no current plans to trade away Michael Porter Jr., who had just poured in a season-best 36 points to go along with seven three-point shots made in the victory.
“No because we’re not trading Michael Porter, so I’m not touching base with anybody on that,” Michael Malone told reporters. “I’m touching base with the guys on better defense, better spacing, taking care of the ball, and if something is coming, obviously Calvin (Booth) will talk with me, and I’m sure we’ll communicate with whatever players, but yeah, Michael is a really important piece. Michael helped us win a championship, so we’ll see what happens going into Thursday. But to my knowledge, there have been no conversations. I don’t feel the need to converse with somebody when there’s nothing there.”
