Do wonder how long Masai will wait for these trades and if he's gonna wait till right at the deadline.
Grimes and a 1st, come on down.

I really don’t get the Grimes love. He isn’t good. I think he had decent second year and that’s it. Decentish. Rather have cap space and roster spot open.

If he can swing Grimes AND a FRP for Brown... holy smokes man.

But nothing has made them jump. Wiggins has upped his production and activity lately. He’s back in their starting and closing lineup, able finally to play next to Kuminga

Do you think Masai is set on getting a player? Or might he do Fournier expiring+ FRP?
Knicks board not crazy about Brown because not a scorer, compared to Murray or Brogdon, but think Thibs would love Brown.
Is an expiring like Fournier any good to Raptors? I never hear expiring/cap space mentioned much anymore, it's usually picks vs young players

I might consider this depending on what happens with Bruce Brown. If we're able to net Grimes in that deal, I like this one a whole lot less. Otherwise though, it is interesting.

This feels too good to be true. CP3's deal isn't guaranteed so it doesn't really save GSW money.
I think it would have to be something like:
GSW - Bruce Brown, Thad Young
Raptors - CP3, Moody, GSW 2nd rounder/Trayce Jackson-Davis

I'm not sure Masai is set on anything in particular but I could be wrong. What I do know is that if we don't convey the pick to the Spurs this year, we're definitely going to be doing it next year and I'd like us to have a pick in that draft.
However, there's no telling where that pick would land or who we'd draft with it. I could be that the player we pick isn't even a rotation guy when we could have had Grimes instead. It's a gamble either way so Grimes AND a FRP is a homerun haul for Brown as far as I'm concerned.
I do think that the Knicks should do the smart thing and use the Fournier contract to add long term salary. Makes no sense to let him expire and not improve the team - it's just a matter of what they'll do with it. If I were them, I would be far more interested in Murray, Brogdon or even Bridges than I would be in Brown. Of course, prices will vary from player to player but that's where I'd have my eyes set.

I disagree. He's a good defender and has shown he can shoot. Has fallen off a bit this year but he's only 23. Absurd to call him not good after three years. I think he can be a good contributor in a new environment.
Pertaining to the NBA trade deadline at hand and what options the Warriors currently have, Bruce Brown is on the Warriors' radar, sources said. Brown, who was traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Toronto Raptors in a package for All-Star Pascal Siakam, finds himself as one of the better players on the market this season. The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks have been two teams in contact with the Raptors in recent weeks regarding Brown, sources said. An instrumental part of the Denver Nuggets' championship run a season ago, Brown is a utility player who can wear many different hats for his team.
Defensively, Brown is a really strong player who can guard numerous positions as well. Although undersized, this is what makes him an intriguing fit for a team like the Warriors, who need toughness and tenacity on defense from their secondary talents. The interesting part about pursuing a trade for Brown is that he can only be dealt by himself ahead of the deadline. The Raptors can't aggregate his salary with others.
This would put the Warriors in a small bind. The Raptors have a few other players in Gary Trent Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. who would make sense as additional assets for Golden State to bring back in a trade, including Brown. Then again, the Raptors have made it clear that they want at least one first-round pick for Brown, as well as additional talent. The only path the Warriors could take in terms of pursuing Brown is a two-part trade that would actually be two separate transactions.

I like it fit wise with Scottie to. He can step in and be a Danny Green esque guy who just defends and shoots and I would be happy.
IQ/Grimes/Barrett/Barnes is a solid starting point. Long term Grimes is hopefully a bench guy for you (or the 5th guy behind 4 better players), and RJ is probably not a long term fit but hopefully we rehab the value where he can be salary and attractive for another team.
But IQ/Grimes is 16 or so 3 pointers attempted per 36 total at 37/38%. That is really really good around Barnes. Plus Dick hopefully eventually can guard at the 3 would give us 3 high volume shooters around Scottie.
