Lakers Eye Raptors' Bruce Brown as Trade Deadline Nears

The Raptors are reportedly eager to trade Bruce Brown, with the Lakers emerging as a strong contender for the versatile wing player.

The Toronto Raptors are actively seeking to trade Bruce Brown before the February 6 NBA trade deadline, according to reports.
Brown, a key contributor to the Denver Nuggets' 2023 championship run, has struggled with injuries this season but remains a highly valued 3-and-D player.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who have long admired Brown, are among the leading contenders to acquire him, according to betting odds and insider reports.
The Raptors may consider buying out Brown's $23 million contract if a trade does not materialize, potentially increasing his availability to teams like the Lakers and Nuggets.
While the Lakers are interested in Brown, they are also exploring options to bolster their frontcourt depth, targeting big men to complement Anthony Davis.
