>>Brown is perhaps the likeliest player to switch teams before the trade deadline. The 28-year-old, who won a title as a key reserve with the Denver Nuggets, plays with a young, rebuilding Toronto team that probably picked up his $23 million team option with the intent of dealing him later.
>>It might make sense to move him given the Raptors made a clear choice to turn the page by trading OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam last season. Brown is a solid secondary ball handler, decent defender and an ace in transition, making him a natural fit for contending teams. His contract shouldn’t be a burden to teams, since he’s in the last season of his deal.
>>Keep an eye on a potential Denver reunion if third-year wing Christian Braun struggles in his expanded role after Kentavious Caldwell-Pope left for Orlando in the offseason. Brown fit with the Nuggets before and almost certainly would again.

I have no doubt someone will be interested in Brown. I just wonder who has the combination of salary/assets to actually get a deal done for what will be a rental.
They mention Denver but I highly doubt they trade their core four and after those guys the highest salary is Zeke Nnaji at $9m.
