He (Bruce Brown) still has value and a $23-million (U.S.) expiring contract might be of interest to teams bumping up against long-term tax issues who are looking for some financial relief.

>As for the Raptors, I’d be OK with Freeman-Liberty as a third point guard learning the position but not as a guy who’d play 16 or so minutes a game. Ty Jones is intriguing, for sure.
On a potential rebrand:
>They’ve got about a zillion colour schemes now, the brand is familiar globe wide and well established. Why would they?
>I can see a “30” patch on uniforms next year to commemorate the 30th season but that’s about it.
(IMO, the City Jerseys will be the purple ones they’ve teased)
On trading Poeltl to make room for another C:
>Not to me, now. They have a few holes that they can plug with the assets they have given the two- or three-year plan they are on, doesn’t make much sense — and I’m a big JV guy — to start anew in that role.
On where he sees the Raptors next season:
>I expect the Raptors to be among the top eight or so in the East next season.
On Bruce Brown’s fit with OKC:
>Oklahoma City needs size, that’s not Bruce Brown.
On the NBA having to sign off on the WNBA team:
>The NBA is a major financial investor in the WNBA, it was business sense, nothing more. Don’t see what’s not there.
