Lakers are so bad lol I don’t know Brian solving anything
Knicks with bucks and sixers looking down, maybe they think brown final piece

It doesnt totally sit right with me, but would Rui+the Lakers pick be enough?
I mean, on one end, the Lakers probably don’t want to deal that pick for Brown.
But on the other end, feels like a disappointing return for us.
I guess that makes it fair?

And I don’t think he’ll have a hard time getting a 1st, the question is whether he’d push for more, like a 1st and a prospect, because that’s not happening.
A 1st and expring salary should be the goal, if it’s a multi year deal coming back then I’d ask for more, but if for example if it’s a deal with the Knicks for Fournier, give me a 2025 and beyond 1st and call it a day, if the Knicks wanna offer another 2024 1st (either theres or the Dallas pick) then imma need a little bit more, they have a 2025 Nets 2nd that could be valuable.

If the only firsts out there are 24 firsts, I think I’d consider a first round swap and a bunch of 2nds for Bruce. For example in a trade with NY, swapping our OKC FRP (currently 27th) for the better of the two NY picks (currently 17 & 23) would make some sense for us.
Or even trading Bruce and a 2024 first (ideally the OKC first) for Fournier and a 2025 first would make some sense to me.

The Raptors are probably aiming for a young prospect (I.e. a wing like Grimes) or a 2025 first. I’m pretty sure everybody and their mother offered their mid to late 2024 pick, and I don’t think the Raps accept that unless they can work out a trade that flips that to another team (I.e. Deni Avidija).

I just hope we get a good return for him, don’t care where he goes to. Hopefully, they really go for the best offer available and don’t over value him. I could see a lot of interest for him but they need to do it soon, would love to get a first-rounder for him to package up in a Jak trade to get that young athletic defensive center we’re missing.

The fact that he’s under contract next year means Masai can drive a pretty hard bargain. The Raptors could really go into the off-season with a ton of picks, cap space and assets. It’s exciting.
