Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. recently shared a concerning outlook on the team’s future amid a slow start to the 2024-25 season. Reflecting on the Nuggets’ postseason exit to the Timberwolves and current lackluster performance, Porter admitted that if they don’t win a championship this season, changes to the team’s core might be inevitable. “If we don’t win it this year, we all know they might have to break it up,” he said, via ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
Porter’s comments resonate with growing uncertainty around Denver’s lineup, despite the recent long-term commitments of Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Even superstar Nikola Jokic has reportedly expressed doubts about the team’s ability to cover up certain weaknesses. With Murray, Gordon, and Porter locked into contracts, the Nuggets face questions about how feasible any substantial roster overhaul would be if they struggle to contend this year.
