Raptors 'Very Motivated' To Trade Bruce Brown Jr.

[puja21]

Yeah, leave out the part where the Raptor's GM did NOT have to pick up his over priced option. Total waste of $23M by the Raptors.

raptors are 26M over the cap, so still over with or without Brown's 23M.

If they didn't pickup his option, they couldn't add anyone in Brown's place (besides a minimum salary).

why let an asset walk in that situation?

But the plan was always to flip him for more assets.

Might already acquired the assets with cap space if he was expired last year.

We took Davion Mitchell contract with our cap space for a pick.
If Brown was an expiring, we might acquire an use-able player at a bigger contract with a pick.

Therefore, it would make little difference with Brown being an expiring or cap space.

Thanks -- the Mitchell detail connects the dots for me now.
