[Stein]The Raptors’ asking price for teams interested in acquiring Bruce Brown has been described as a future first-round pick and a quality player … at a minimum.

Already asking more for brown than Siakam….
W, now remain FIRM on the price, you can easily get salary filler and some type of first anytime whether in the offseason or next trade deadline from desperate contending teams
Reasonable though “quality player” is one of those terms that’s hard to define from a fan perspective
Like, is Jericho Sims a “quality player” to pair with, say, the better of Dallas/Knicks 2024 pick or a 2025 Knicks 1st? Or is that player more on the lines of Grimes? The Raptors once coveted THT, is he the level we’d consider “quality”?
An aside but I wonder if the Raptors would prefer a swap of their OKC/Clippers pick if it meant getting back a better “quality player” i.e. trading for Lowry, Jovic and a 2024 swap for Bruce Brown and McDaniels (The McDaniels move would be its own trade for Jovic while the Lowry + swap for Brown would be its own move; this is just aggregating those two moves together)
The best part is; WE HAVE LEVERAGE FOR ONCE
So Fournier (salary filler), Grimes, and a 1st lol
Hey, maybe the nuggets want Bruce back
Just trade him for a FRP and a player we can then flip for another FRP again. Then copy and repeat as much possible. OKC style.
This is gonna make the Pascal trade so much more acceptable
Bertans, Dieng, 1st
Brown, 2nd
This is good, I knew Masai was going to value Bruce Brown properly. You don’t trade him for the sake of it, and so if anyone wants him they will have to put a heavy offer on the table for him. Needs to be a first and a really solid young player or they won’t get Bruce Brown. Masai holds the cards on this one here.
Based.
Brown will help any playoff team. It gives Masai quite a bit of options.
The Knicks and lakers may not offer up as much as other teams.
I wouldn’t mind if magic offered Wendell Carter and FRP.
Then see what other raptor assets can yield.
I think better if raptors win enough to convey pick to spurs this year.
I’d be looking for a 2025 FRP, if not 2026 FRP with quality a young player. From there see if we can consolidate some of those picks we received in our trades to get another player that aligns with Scottie.
Ah, glad to see Masai back to his high demands that won’t be met.
So we had to waive Koloko to make room for the Pascal return. If we now move Brown and receive multiple players + FRP, how are we going to tidy up the roster?
repost from the daily thread:
How about a trade with the Magic to get them Bruce Brown?
There’s a good FO relationship there between Masai and Jeff Weltman. Moritz Wagner has lost his minutes with the return of WCJ, and he’d be a great backup center. I think we could play Jontay as a 4 when Poeltl is healthy and when someone inevitably misses time, you have your 5 spot filled. Also cool to pair him back up with Dennis for a bit.
Jett Howard doesn’t look like he fits their rotation. A young cost controlled lotto prospect. Fun fact is he’s Juwan Howard’s son and somehow Jalen McDaniels nephew?!
Throw in Ingles who has a 11m team option for next season. Another vet to add in for a half season and really salary filler. No harm and could work with Gradey and we could always pick that option up and have a tradeable expiring for next season if Masai wants to punt for next year’s FA class
