    His source is singer. Lol nba media is in shambles

    Buy as many moral victories as you want Lakers, they don’t erase the sweep

  3. After-Doughnut2137

    If he’s going to take less than the MLE… why wouldn’t he just *come back* ?

  4. [deleted]

    I feel like he can get more than that.

  5. iHeartBush2

    I haven’t dove into the lakers cap situation, but I don’t see a scenario where the lakers have a full MLE available

  6. steve1186

    I have a feeling San Antonio is going to offer him something like $60M/4. He’d be a starter and would also be a great leader for that young team.

    I’m increasingly confident the Lakers and their fans are a bunch of arrogant spoiled bitches. Fuck the Lakers

  8. BTSuppa

    they are only confident because internally, they are liking the idea of not picking up Malik Beasly contract/ mo Bamba to free up money offer him.

  9. Ineedajobbrah

    Does Bruce get them over the hump?

  10. -Sticks_and_Stones-

    That makes no sense. Why would he want to not win another championship while still coming off the bench, for just a few hundred thousand in additional net income?

  11. BRAX7ON

    Lakers fans are gonna hate it when Bruce Brown choose Denver over LA.

    They’re going to cope and find all kinds of excuses why they didn’t want him anyway. Mark my words.

  12. BoneyardBill

    Lakers fans saying he been unreliable as late and he basically just reposted Mike Singer so lmfao

  13. Syndana23

    This report annoyed the hell out of me but get your money king 🥹

  14. RatLord445

    Thats fucking it?????? Cant he get a MUCH bigger contract than that???

  15. mahaalo0

    Bruce would be a golden candidate for the Lakers to ship off for an aging superstar right at the deadline in typical Lakers fashion. That risk is just as worrisome as signing with Denver on the cheap this year to get the bag next season isn’t it?

  16. OUEngineer17

    If I was Bruce, I’d tell teams to start their offers at 4/60 or I’m staying in Denver.

  17. Scorcherer

    I was just reading about a new eastern division, maybe some players could sign there instead?

  18. kiwisawa420

    The fact that Bruce hasn’t announced signing a 1+1 with the Nuggets doesn’t bode well for him re-signing. I’m not saying it’s impossible for it to happen, but this was the window the current team has for deals. I have a feeling his agent has a deal in hand that is going to get Bruce paid.

  19. Stormeve

    Spurs offer the man a damn contract already bc hes about to go to LA at this point

  20. CPage12

    I said I’d still love Bruce if he leaves but idk if i could stomach this

  21. Shenanigans80h

    For anyone dooming, this guy is a unreliable source according to even Lakers fans. Real throw stuff at the wall type. I ain’t believing shit til it happens honestly

  22. Jaymes_CharlesManson

    Breaking!: Lakers almost sign Bruce Brown. A moral victory for the front office, showing a willingness to improve the roster.

    🤪

  23. 127phunk

    Cost of living tho? 12 mil in LA is like 4 mil in Denver dollars

  24. indyxetan

    Literally the only thing Bruce could do to make me dislike anything about him.

  25. Greg_Pim

    Nah we have to pay this man under the table or something

  26. rblythe999

    Kroenke should sign Brown to an Avalanche contract. NHL’s cap setup is more forgiving than NBA’s.

  27. ShowdownValue

    How can they be confident to sign a guy who they can’t even talk to and will get at least that much or more from 10+ teams

    Oh, it’s the lakers. They think they can sign anyone

    Gotta love their entitlement

  28. AlaskaFishGuy

    Lakers were confident they could win a game last series also 😂

  29. El_Bean69

    They’re going for the thanos strategy, use the nugget to destroy the nuggets

  30. Nintendomandan

    There is a part of me that will not like Bruce nearly as much if he goes to LA. Any other team and he’s still perfect

  31. Bright-Ad2594

    Bruce is repped by CAA, no way the Los Angeles Klutch Lakers will want him 😛

  32. BiggestBallOfTwine

    BB, get that bag! Just not with the Lakers!

  33. reverendexile

    I would hate to start the season having effectively traded Bruce Brown for Dennis Schroeder

  34. Real_Routine_

    Or they could easily go fuck themselves with a cactus
