Knicks Rumors: NY Sees ‘Bigger’ Trades Than Raptors Bruce Brown in the midst of Lakers Talk
His trade that sent Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers earlier in the season included him to the Raptors as well. With averages of 11.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, he is a versatile player.
Moore pointed out that the Los Angeles Lakers had “at least temporarily moved away from talks” for Brown, which would be beneficial for other teams. New York, on the other hand, appears to be thinking bigger.
It now sits fourth in the Eastern Conference playoff standings with a 32–18 record. A loss to the Lakers on Saturday put an end to the team’s nine-game winning streak. OG Anunoby has established himself as a versatile player who can score from three-point range when defenses fail to stop Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson.
There might be some similarities between that role and Brown’s. Although Brown is a great supporting player who flourished with Nikola Jokić in the Denver Nuggets’ championship run the previous year, the Knicks will probably need someone with an even bigger impact if they hope to assemble a team strong enough to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics in the postseason.
