The last thing POR needs is another high USG% player with poor court vision and poor decision making... But Dame/Jrue/Brown/Avdija/Clingan is a pretty nasty starting five.
It has been so frustrating watching Brown repeatedly ISO and dribble the clock down while surrounded by better ball handlers and decision makers... but he did get finals MVP.
There is almost zero chance this actually works... but I guess I'll root for POR anyway. I always do. I said all these same things about Jerami Grant before they brought him in but I excused it because they got him for almost nothing. Then they resigned him to that gawd awful contract like they had never watched him play before. (We know how that worked out!) I wouldn't mind if POR was considering picking Brown up in a similar package, (the draft rights to Gabriele Procida, a conditional 2025 1st round pick) but those MIL picks are gold if Giannis stays in MIL and platinum if he leaves. POR needs to hang onto those until after Dame's wonderfully exciting but inevitably unfruitful return is over. I would deem those untouchable.

Unfortunately, the only reason the Blazers are in the conversation for Brown is those Milwaukee picks. I’d be plum surprised to see JB in Portland without a large draft haul, which may also get Grant out of Rip City.
