Can we get Brown in the dunk off this year ?

That would be one way to get the country behind him.

I like brown...I'm OK keeping him

He's a smart player who fits well in the system....maybe a bit undersized but good fit

Seems like a great fit with barnes

Of course he does, Denver doesn't win LOB without him. That is why we have to trade him. So valuable

if the demand is as high as it seems you get two future firsts from a team contending this year.

can't settle for 2024 picks.

We aren't close to contending and if the market is as high on Brown, you should trade him

Far more of a market for Brown.

Trade him if a team offers a deal we can’t refuse (fleece). Need a solid young player and an FRP at least

If NY wants him, they gotta give us Grimes and the better of their pick or Dallas’. Or ideally a future pick in 2025

Otherwise more than happy to keep him

trade both amass picks.

open up space and take on bad contracts for more picks.

do what OKC did.

the raps already have a better foundation than OKC did when they started their rebuild, so it won't take as long.

He's only 27 too. I don't see why we can't keep him and give an extension in the off season

Keep him. You need players like this around your young guys. I guarantee he will help the team focus more on defense with how he plays during pockets of games. He's very much a Caruso type of player.

Trade him if you get an offer you really really like before the deadline... if not wait till the offseason
where you can trade him with other contracts so you have more options.

Revoke his passport until he re-ups on an extremely team-friendly deal.

There's a team option for next year ?

Don’t fall into the trap of wanting to keep a player every time he has a great game. If Brown can net the team a good young prospect or picks, you have to do it. This team likely won’t be competitive for at least 2 years, Brown would be wasted here.

Yes, maybe negotiate declining the team option and re-signing for $18-19-20?

I want to start him next game at SG. Geez he's good.
