Michael Porter Jr. not pursued by Warriors last season

Summary

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. was not wanted by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr last season. Reports indicate that while Porter was involved in trade rumors, the Warriors were unwilling to give up too much to acquire him. Despite some interest, including potential trades involving multiple first-round picks, Golden State ultimately focused on other players. Porter, who is under contract for the upcoming season, averaged 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds last year. It appears the Warriors are no longer a potential landing spot for him if he is traded in the future.
