Tyus Jones, Malcolm Brogdon, Bruce Brown Jr. Would Likely Cost First Round Pick To Acquire
If Tyus Jones, Malcolm Brogdon or Bruce Brown Jr. are traded at the deadline, their incumbent teams are seeking "at least a first round pick" back in exchange, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
The price paid by the Miami Heat to the Charlotte Hornets for Terry Rozier, the expiring contract of Kyle lowry plus a protected 2027 first round pick, has helped set the market for the three other available ballhandlers.
Jones and Brogdon were traded in the offseason, while Brown was dealt from the Indiana Pacers to the Toronto Raptors as part of the Pascal Siakam deal.
The Washington Wizards acquired Jones from the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a three-team trade involving Kristaps Porzingis.
Brogdon was acquired by the Portland Trail Blazers from the Boston Celtics as part of the Jrue Holiday deal.
