NBA Teams Eye Raptors' Bruce Brown as Trade Deadline Approaches
Former Nuggets Champion's Trade-Friendly Contract Sparks Interest from Knicks, Lakers, and Others
- Former Denver Nuggets champion Bruce Brown, now with the Toronto Raptors, is reportedly a hot commodity for several NBA teams, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Philadelphia 76ers.
- Brown, who was a key player in the Nuggets' 2023 championship run, was traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Raptors as part of a deal for Pascal Siakam.
- Brown's contract, which pays out $22 million this season with a $23 million team option next season, is considered extremely trade-friendly.
- Despite interest from several teams, a reunion with the Denver Nuggets is considered financially unfeasible due to the team's lack of expendable salaries to trade in exchange for Brown.
- Brown's future with the Raptors is uncertain, as the team is currently in a rebuilding phase and may decide to trade him before the NBA Trade Deadline.
