Brooklyn Nets<\/a> forward Michael Porter Jr.<\/a> had one of the more eventful offseasons compared to most players in the NBA as he found out he was being traded while on a flight. Brooklyn acquired Porter and a 2032 first-round pick from the Denver Nuggets<\/a> in exchange for forward Cam Johnson and the former Missouri Tiger finally got the chance to explore his new surroundings.<\/p>\n

“Excited. (I) got my first lift today. My first little core workout, you know what I mean? So, I came here to grind. (I) got to get better,” Porter said during his vlog of his first day in Brooklyn posted to his “Curious Mike” YouTube channel. Porter’s vlog shows him getting a tour of the Nets’ practice facility that he will be familiarizing himself with over the course of the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

“I’m not even going to lie, it’s a whirlwind getting traded,” Porter said following the conclusion of the tour. “To figure out the new facility, your new space, how you get to the arena, all that little stuff. It takes a minute. It took me about 3 years to learn how to get from my crib to the Denver airport with no GPS. So, it’s definitely going to be a little adjustment period.”<\/p>\n

Porter, 27<\/a>, spent his first seven years in the league as a member of the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Nets earlier this offseason. Porter, the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, said<\/a> during his time watching Brooklyn play in the Las Vegas Summer League that he’s excited to show what he can do in an expanded role after seeing his game “plateau” in Denver.<\/p>\n

Porter previously posted<\/a> a video on his YouTube channel about how being traded away by the Nuggets was a shock to him and was unexpected given how the summer had been progressing. Despite the suddenness of the trade, Porter is getting to work. “I’m not even going to lie. They got me working probably as hard as I’ve ever worked, but I’m making progress. Um, I’m excited, man. This is an amazing opportunity,” Porter said in his vlog following a workout.<\/p>\n
