Nets face key decision on Michael Porter Jr. contract extension

Summary

The Brooklyn Nets are confronted with a significant choice regarding Michael Porter Jr.'s future as the team rebuilds. Porter, who averaged 24.2 points per game last season, is eligible for a contract extension this season but might not receive a maximum offer. The team must evaluate their options before the regular season begins on October 21. If no extension is agreed upon, a trade could become likely by the February deadline to avoid losing him for nothing.
