A much clearer route to the Nets’ summer moves, which almost everyone predicts will be aggressive, will shortly take the place of speculation. One person who believes he can predict the future is Michael Porter Jr.
In a comprehensive interview with Kendrick Perkins on the Road Trippin’ podcast, he discussed how he saw the summer unfolding, which he thinks will involve him. Perkins said:

Of course, what constitutes a “good draft pick” will vary. The Nets have twice as strong a chance at No. 1 (14 percent) as they do at No. 7 (7 percent) and cannot drop below the seventh pick.
