If the Knicks FO want to look at Brogdon, Clarkson or Bruce Brown as an on-the-margins type move this deadline then so be it. Just do me one favor.

Keep this soft, constantly complaining, often benched down the stretch for defensive purposes 55M+ liability off the Knicks and please refrain from believing he’s some kind of star splash this summer.

Move makes zero sense with the way Precious is playing.

Positives of Brown:

1. Relatively modest cost to obtain (if rumors are to be believed)
2. Better playmaker than McBride so Thibs will trust him more in big spots (ie playoffs, helps Brunson rest more)
3. Better shooter and offensive player than Hart so reduces our reliance on Hart
4. Better defender than Hart so more effective bench minutes; our overall defensive metrics should creep up further
5. Adds depth to help us get a top 3 or 4 seed this playoffs
6. Has a year of salary next season to be used in potential blockbuster trades
7. Can be played with Brunson
8. Was Denver's most reliable bench piece in championship run; playoff experience is huge
9. Wants to be here.

So, yeah, not an entirely "ideal" fit in some ways, but he definitely makes us better on paper and in theory. I'd be behind this if Toronto has a reasonable ask.

10. Thibs has a man crush on him
11. Fits into team identity/culture

Brown checks a lot of boxes. One of the main arguments against Brown is redundancy. I don't think NY perceives redundancy as a weakness, but rather as enhancing team strengths and identity. NY isn't afraid to double down on those things. (rebounding, hustle, defense, winning mentality)

It's impossible to build a team without weaknesses. We're not going to find a perfect solution for the this trade deadline. Clarkson and Brogdon would be great, but I think Brown would be solid as well.

Does it hurt Brunsons happiness and chemistry (at times) if Brown takes minutes from Hart and DDV?
Or what if we later move Hart and keep Brown, cause we’re better and also get a star 2G but move DDV - does it affect Brunson?

they aren't getting a 2025 1st rounder for Brown unless they want one of those heavily protected ones.
