Stunned! 54 points + 53 points! Nets' asking price for Porter revealed

The NBA's "Sichuan team" truly deserves its name.

They often endure massive defeats; recently, the Nets fell 77-130 to the Eastern top team, the Pistons.

In this match, the Pistons triumphed by 53 points, marking the largest winning margin in their franchise history.

Before that, the Nets lost 66-120 to the Knicks, a 54-point gap that also established the Knicks' largest single-game winning margin ever.

Paul, who is currently unemployed and staying at home, is probably the Nets' most devoted fan this season, just waiting to see when the Nets will finally break his record of losing by 58 points.

Despite the Nets losing so badly they have nothing left to wear, looking closely, they have still managed a 13-35 record this season, ranking third from the bottom in the East and sixth from the bottom in the entire league, trailing the Pelicans (13-38), Kings (12-39), Pacers (13-36), and Wizards (13-35).

According to the rules, after the regular season ends, the three worst teams have a 14% chance at the first overall pick, the fourth and fifth worst teams have 11.5%, and the sixth worst team has 9%.

This year's draft features three superstar prospects: Kansas guard Dalen Peterson, BYU wing AJ Dybantsa, and Duke forward Cameron Boozer.

With fierce competition for playoff spots and the championship, tanking is also crowded with strong rivals.

As for the upcoming trade deadline (February 6), the Nets are very likely to make moves soon. The most valuable player on the current roster is Porter, who is averaging 25.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game this season, shooting 39.8% from three-point range with 3.8 threes made per game. He was a core forward on the 2023 Nuggets championship team and is highly sought after by playoff-caliber teams.

A few days ago, insider Siegel commented,The Nets are asking a high price for Porter, demanding at least two first-round picks just for draft rights.This could scare off potential suitors who were initially interested...
