Raptors’ Bruce Brown is a guard the Los Angeles Lakers are still interested in dealing with during their quiet summer. Since Brown signed a two-year, $45 million free-agency contract with the Indiana Pacers last summer. LA has since been involved with the player. Brown got a sizable pay increase after contributing significantly as a versatile guard-forward on the Denver Nuggets’ 2023 NBA championship squad.
In January, Brown was sold to Toronto. He was part of the historic trade that brought Indiana star forward Pascal Siakam to Toronto. Numerous people have conjectured that he may soon be moving again because the Raptors are now in the early phases of their rebuilding process.
Los Angeles Lakers were mentioned as a possible suitor for Brown at this year’s NBA draft and around the trade deadline in February. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints’ story on Monday, the company is still interested in signing the 2023 champion.
Siegel wrote, “The Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks are two teams that showed interest in Brown last season, sources said, and LA maintains an interest in him this offseason. One team whispered to have interest in Brown and was quietly mentioned as a possible suitor months ago is the Golden State Warriors. While unlikely to occur, the Warriors have the ability to move Andrew Wiggins, who is making more than $26 million this season, in a package from Toronto that includes Brown and other assets. This would open up more financial flexibility for the Dubs moving forward.”
Brown’s $23 million contract expires at the start of next season. Thus, he should be a desirable trade target for parties willing to match his compensation.
Can Bruce Brown Be A Perfect Fit For The Los Angeles Lakers?
NBA champion Bruce Brown’s background might provide a significant advantage in the Lakers’ lineup. The Lakers may still catch up to their rivals by strengthening their supporting group, albeit without a great player.
Due to his versatility as a guard at nearly every position, Brown may contribute to closing lineups off the bench by offering vital two-way play on the perimeter. Johnson, considered by many to be one of the best two-way wings in the game, is comparable in this regard.
The Los Angeles Lakers are committed to looking for mid-level players. Bruce, Cam, or someone else can add to their roster. LeBron James is the finest basketball player in the Olympics. So, the Lakers owe it to him to put together a squad that can compete in the Western Conference.
Naturally, Anthony Davis will be essential to their success as well. He will enter the season with high expectations as the leader of this Lakers squad. He had averaged 24.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game in the previous campaign.
