Lakers still interested in Bruce Brown
The Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks are two teams that showed interest in Brown last season, sources said, and Los Angeles maintains 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.

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Toronto Raptors are picking up the $23 million option on guard Bruce Brown’s contract, sources tell ESPN. Brown will be a valuable trade asset on an expiring contract for the Raptors. -via Twitter @wojespn / June 28, 2024
The Raptors, I’m told, are still formulating their plan on precisely how to proceed with Bruce Brown’s $23 million team option, which must be exercised (or not) by next week — June 28 specifically. Numerous rival teams have said they expect Toronto to pick up the option so Brown’s expiring contract can function as a trade-friendly contract. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 19, 2024
OKC Thunder eying short-term free agency deals? Michael Scotto: There’s a lot of intrigue around the OKC Thunder and Hartenstein, but I’ve heard OKC would look at doing short-term deals, most likely in free agency, if they’re going to make a move. The Knicks would have an advantage theoretically of going further down the line with that (offering more years). Stefan Bondy: If I were a betting man, I’d say he (Hartenstein) comes back. However, I’m not as confident saying that as OG Anunoby coming back. I reported about OKC’s interest, and I heard something similar to what you said about a short-term deal. There’s speculation OKC would offer him something in the realm of two years, $50 million with an opt-out in the second year, which is something like Bruce Brown got. -via HoopsHype / June 17, 2024
