Toronto Raptors Plan to Trade Bruce Brown After Exercising Contract Option

Team aims to reconfigure roster by leveraging Brown's expiring contract as an asset in the offseason market.

Raptors expected to pick up Bruce Brown's $23 million team option before trading him.
Brown was acquired from the Pacers in the Pascal Siakam trade but doesn't fit Raptors' long-term plans.
Toronto may also consider trading Jakob Pöltl and Kelly Olynyk to optimize their young core's development.
Brown's performance with the Raptors was underwhelming, but his championship experience keeps him valuable.
Any team trading for Brown will have to consider his potential free agency in 2025.
