[Singer] One team with significant interest in signing Bruce Brown away from Denver is the Los Angeles Lakers, multiple sources told @denverpost. The Lakers could offer him the full MLE ($12.3M annually). Nuggets can only offer up to $7.8M this year.

    Btwn this and the Jamal clip, today’s been an emotional rollercoaster

  2. After-Doughnut2137

    Please god, anywhere but the Lakers, Bruce 😭

  3. AltruisticEnd9

    Alternatively, if Bruce turns down the Lakers after this news, he is THE all-time Nuggets legend ever.

  4. IdRatherBeLurking

    12.3M/yr isn’t a bad price to get paid for getting swept by the Nuggets 🤷‍♂️

  5. Gold3nPhez

    No!! Also I think he could get much more than 12 mill

  6. Shenanigans80h

    Honestly if he leaves us, he’ll be able to make way more than the full MLE. Probably longer deal as well. Only reason this would happen is if he really wants to be in LA, which given what we know about Bruce’s personality, I would be shocked if that’s the case.

  7. JokAllYouWant2023

    No way Bruce sees the Lakers as the best team, offering him that size of bag, to beat the Nuggets. Plus after these playoffs he has to know that’d really turn him into a villain

  8. SongYoungbae

    Ofcourse the Lakers “have interest.” So do 29 other teams

  9. IUpVoteIronically

    Oh man, I already know the copium is gonna be insane in this post. That being said, can’t be mad at Bruce for whatever happens. Hope he stays though.

  10. NikolaiBullcry

    Dude does not seem like an LA guy

  11. bailey1149

    Yeah, but the Nuggets can offer “not being a bitch ass franchise”.

  12. AreaGuy

    He’s gotta get that bag, but not *that* bag!! (I can’t hate him either way, honestly.)

  13. 2rascallydogs

    No way. Plenty of teams have interest in BB and if he leaves Denver for the MLE it will be to a contender.

  14. cumlordjr

    Anywhere but the Lakers please, Bruce.

  15. AcclimateAdversity

    really think another ring is better than 4.5m pay raise bruce, be smart

  16. LonePeasant

    Every team is interested in Bruce Brown. This tweet means nothing

  17. husker_nomad

    He would go from Hero to Villain with one move

  18. High_Noon21

    How do the lakers always get everyone?

  19. Ill-Ad-9199

    It’s actually a pay cut when you factor in the damage to your soul when playing for the Lakers.

  20. bordeen

    I know fuck all about the CBA and how NBA finance work, but could we not pay him more than 7.8 and go into the luxury tax? Or is that not worth it?
    Again, I know literally zero besides players get paid loads

  21. petarisawesomeo

    There are no cowboys in Los Angeles

  23. CaffeineJunkee

    He’s staying in Denver. I bet he will take $7.8m and the Denver culture over $12.3 and a new team.

  24. skobuffaloes

    Is there no way we can free up cap space?

  25. socalledbob

    He would be playing offense for 5 to 7 seconds all by himself on a lot of possessions. Do the Lakers have anyone that can keep up with his speed?

  26. TheVeryLastRhino

    With the huge state income tax for his bracket and CA cost of living I bet its under $2M difference in gross pay

  27. waffelman1

    Anywhere but the fucking lakers please
