The Milwaukee Bucks rejected a trade that would have sent Kevin Porter Jr. to the Denver Nuggets for two future second‑round picks, a pick swap and Zeke Nnaji, according to Jake Fischer’s Substack. Milwaukee balked at taking on Nnaji’s $7.47 million player option for 2027‑28 plus his current $7.47 million salary, opting instead to waive Porter and absorb his $5.39 million cap hit. Fischer notes the move reflects teams’ focus on financial flexibility under the apron system, especially with upcoming free agents like Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Ryan Rollins. He also mentions a failed Lakers swap involving Jericho Sims and Dalton Knecht.
