He has just arrived in Toronto, and bought number 11 from Jontay Porter, but Bruce Brown could quickly leave the Raptors. With his profile, so valuable to Denver during last season's title, and his contract, the second year of which is optional, he is of interest to many ambitious teams.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks and the Lakers targeted the 2023 NBA champion. Los Angeles was also a destination considered by Bruce Brown last summer, if he had not signed with Indiana. As for the Knicks, they are looking for reinforcement on the outside positions and, for that, seem ready to part with Quentin Grimes, and Evan Fournier at the same time.
What interest for the Knicks?
It remains to be seen whether for the Lakers, this is a plan B in case the Dejounte Murray track does not succeed. It's not at all the same profile, but they have one thing in common: they are very good defenders.
In New York, we have already recovered OG Anunoby as a “very good defender” and Bruce Brown could further strengthen this sector. But the team already has, in Josh Hart, this kind of winger capable of doing anything on the field.
On the other hand, we learn fromInquirerthe Sixers should not attempt to recover the rear/winger between now and February 8 and the end of the transfer period.
