What to do with Bruce Brown

[OakleyDokely]

If the Raps are getting offers of a 1st rounder (or an equivalent valued prospect) + expiring's for him, I'd move him. But if the offers are 2nd rounders or if they involve taking on a lot of bad money, I'd just hold him until the offseason.

[Psubs]

We have potentially 4 1sts if you count the 31st

Our core 3 BBQ

Lewis jr porter dick mcdaniels nwora

Thats a lot young depth

Masai’s made it clear were not interested in rebuilding (although we do look very tanky atm).

Im kind of not seeing how adding potentially the 5th pick helps the development of any of our guys.

Like were committed to giving quickley 25+ a year

Im more interested in seeing us do everything possible to make quick barrett and scottie perennial all stars

Anyways, im pretty sure were all in on scottie being a legit top 10 player and building around that principle ya know

If a star players out there that makes sense (doesnt look good atm), go get him, why wait four years to develop a prospect at the expense of bbq’s development

Lewis jr porter dick mcdaniels nwora...

Read that list. Maybe 2-3 of those guys have any future with the team. They don't have the young assets with the upside needed

How you think otherwise is .

Porter looks like our back up center
Dicks going to play
Nwora apparently always could

Plus up to 4 picks.

Thats maybe 7 projects on the bench already

If you can package brown, salary, a first this year plus a future or first or 2, for say, jimmy butler — why not! Lol

Ya theres no hail mary star available atm.

But why rush to move brown?

What if we do land the 5th pick?

Whats brown/boucher/5th plus futures net us in the offseason?

Thats a lot of assets to have available for trade all at the same time.

Its a hail mary, but you add jimmy butler to our starting 5 and were a top 3 team in the east hopefully with a young sustainable pipeline.

Just sayin, no reason to race to trade brown this deadline.

Tank and reload seems like it might be masai’s preferred course of action.

Those players making $35+ million, don't fit the Raptors timeline. Even the #5 or 6 pick in a draft without a Wemby or Chet, with good scouting, might get close to the best player in the draft like Scottie.

Lakers got nothing. I dont see Masai taking a 29' pick

It's either NY or nothing

can easily see them keeping him until draft night

[HumbleRen]

Still manifesting Grimes and a pick.

Not a hard concept of why moving Brown should be plan A.. he has the most value this off season due to a possible 2 seasons control and the added bonus of having a team option in case the tax bill hits those contenders hard.

Add in the possibility of falling to 5th and potentially having 2 top 6 picks to rebuild around....Brown is a good vet, he could easily add a few wins which could mean a world of difference.

If the deals aren't out there, sure keep him and look at the offseason but to ask why trading him this offseason is not the preferred course if action...you just don't seem to be paying attention *shrug*

I said theres no rush to trade him

Never asked for a preferred action


And i was trying to get you to recognize there is NO preferred action, just the right one and no one can say when that window will present itself.

And that its short sited to close avenues before they can exist.

Paying attention? *shrug*?

Goodbye 12 year old lol

Ya for sure raptors pulled vc in a crappy draft.

Ya i may be over thinking it and we may well be tanking this year with the idea of tanking.

I mean nwora and porter could be out of the league next year (doubt it!), but based on resume, they both should have one leg out the door pointed at the lithuanian league.


Watching masai operate he kind of just tries to keep as many doors open as possible and just roles with it.

Like just this season, we were seemingly hours away from getting lillard, only to pivet to gutting the core and bottoming out.

Most of us expected picks for og and a larger package for pascal and we seemingly got the opposite.

Im just saying the 5th pick or all our future picks, brown, boucher, the indy picks….


Thats a lot of assets to have all at the same time while the entire league spends 24 hours with the raptors on the board with the 31st pick.

That window is becoming more and more realistic.


It may not be worth throwing away this potential window by trading brown for a future 24th pick.

Like can brown plus a pick plus boucher net another rj barrett? Could that be better than what we get for brown at this deadline?

I just used butler as a bold example to illustrate both what may be available in trade just 4 months from now and how important securing quick’s development is.


Fwiw there is no brown + 5 unicorn trade out there unless its a 3 or 4 team trade.


Fwiw #2 kuminga is my dream addition to the core.


Anyways, all i was saying is that theres no reason to rush to trade brown.

Its weird how some posters speak in absolutes.

Maybe masai should wait for the pitcher to float one down the middle and smash it…. I mean It took 18 months with og and looks like we may need another 6 months for pascal.

Manifesting that NY is trying to trade for Eason so he can be included on the Raptors deal please
