A risky, but very strong move for Denver. This puts the Nuggets far enough below the first apron that they can use more than the taxpayer portion ($5.7M) of the MLE - they can now get into talks for free agents they would have otherwise not been able to afford.
BREAKING: The Denver Nuggets are trading Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, sources tell ESPN.

My best guess is that Saric still ends up playing overseas next season - but this was always going to be the first step. Too much money to opt out. Denver can now utilize his contract as a trade piece (to then be bought out) or negotiate a buyout of his contract on their own.
Denver's Dario Šarić has activated his $5.4 million player option for next season, league sources tell @TheSteinLine. Šarić had until June 29 to exercise or bypass the option. More coverage:

Denver’s paths to re-signing Westbrook:. 1 - One year minimum ($2.3M cap hit). 2 - 20% raise on minimum using non-bird rights ($4.4M cap hit). 3 - Taxpayer MLE, assuming Denver remains below the second apron (up to $5.7M cap hit).
Denver’s Russell Westbrook is declining his player option for next season to become an unrestricted free agent on June 30, league sources tell @TheSteinLine. More NBA coverage:
