Miami Herald quote from Hoopshype talking to Eastern NBA scout:

Overall? “The guy is much better than what they had. Whether he’s a starter or sixth man, he’s major minutes guy and he’s going to give them some juice. It’s like an instant [injection]. I think it moves them up; to me, they’re better than New York now.”


Hopefully Knicks feel same way and panic trade for Brown.

Keeping Brown would be a massive mistake IMO

It TOR enters off season with cap space they can easily get back à veteran for same structure as Brown .

We need draft capital

Of course it the only offer you can is a lesser player that you don’t need as well as a late 2nd pick I understand that it might be better to keep him.

The best deal you can have would be for expiring filling + 1st . If we get that offer should be a no brainer.

If we only get a bad contract with term + 1st , I understand that you need to considers the opportunity cost of losing some cap space

But still would be disappointing if we keep him . Would be a lost opportunity.

Siakam for 4 * 1st pick sounds that much better than Brown + 3 * 1st pick IMO

He'll still have a ton of value in the off season and is far from a negative player to have on this team. So if teams don't want to play ball this year.. *shrug*

We are in the driver seat with Brown, Masai is probably waiting for an offer with a FRP and a young prospect. I swear the FRP better not have ridiculous protections because we are probably taking some trash salary back.

We're probably playing the waiting game until Murray and/or D-Lo are traded.

starting to look like D'Lo will end up back in Brooklyn, DFS to ATL and Murray to the Lakers.

the market for Brown is shrinking.

Yeah that is a big part. We can trade Brown for some assets now, and then have huge cap space in the summer to give some other role player a 2/40 contract and trade them at the deadline for more assets again.

If we can rid ourselves of Brown / Schroder / Boucher that gives us cap space as far as I know?

a Fournier and pick(s) deal makes sense imo. We maintain the cap flexibility while being compensated for the downgrade in talent. If they want to include Grimes or Sims, that's fine, though the draft capital is what really matters.

1. Lakers package would suck

2. Knicks, Bucks and Mavericks are amongst the teams interested in Brown

3. This is not accounting for the teams we don't know that could in for Bruce

I would hope he's ahead of Max Strus.

People think we're going to get better young players for Brown than what we got for Siakam?

I wouldnt go that far, its more that were not tue center of attention anymore.

Its like in baseball, the top free agents sign first.

Our trade chips are the fringe guys — a lefty specialist, a super utility goingnfielder and a low end middle of the order bat!


We have to basically wait and see where our glue guys fit on teams after the major trades.

First + Prospect would make the return even better for Siakam.

Whats everyone think of a deal where Toronto gets OMax + Dallas 2026 First ?
