Porter Jr.: I was on the plane when I learned about the deal. At first I knew I was traded to the Nets.

July 10th News Today, Nets new player Michael Porter Jr. was interviewed.

Speaking of being traded to the Nets, Porter said: "I was on the plane to St. Tropez. I came here to relax before going back to Denver to start training. I lay on the plane, connected to WiFi, and saw the message from the agent, and the people from the Denver management - I remember it was (new executive vice president of player personnel) Jon Wallace, and said, 'Hey, can you answer a call? There is something urgent.' I immediately understood what was going on. I knew what was going on right away. "

"I was on the plane and couldn't talk to them both. So I started sending messages back and forth with my agent and asking him, 'Where are we going? Which team am I going to be traded to?' Then he told me it was Brooklyn. To be honest, my first reaction was a little shocked, because just two days ago, I was still wandering around my home in Denver. "
