    I believe he’s wrong in this article regarding signing him next summer for a significant bump. I believe it’s bird rights this year and early bird next year. So two summers from now he could get that big cash bag from the nuggets. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Going off his lists, Torrey Craig or Dennis Schröder would be cool to see. Obviously BB is my first choice.

    How is Crowder a replacement for Brown?? We’re loaded with young talent at the SF/PF positions, but need a quality guard off the bench.

    Also, please not Schroeder. He was such an obvious liability in the WCF

  3. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    I do not want Scrotum on this team

  4. AccountofB

    I like Josh Richardson, sometimes he gets a little too shot happy though.

  5. FunkysteveCLS

    Get Gary back in here and get him a ring

  6. _moondoggie12_

    Dennis Schroeder or maybe bring back Austin Rivers.

  7. petarisawesomeo

    I could see Orlando being an attractive destination for BB. Bruce has a lot of love for Florida and the Magic are an ascending team.

  8. mclovin232

    The Michael Jordan of Delaware might not be bad…but he’s coming back.

  9. Keyboard_smashgood

    With the current trade I believe the Nuggets, if Brown leaves, will elevate Braun and draft a replacement. My guess is Whitehead

  10. OptionalBagel

    Joe Ingles, Nikola Jokic two man game would be… infuriating for opposing fanbases lmfao

  11. dblmntgum

    I have a feeling a team with lots of young guys is going to give BB the bag. They’re going to want a proven winner who plays hard to elevate the culture.

    The tough past is he won’t be as effective because the Nuggets really brought out his unconventional skill set. And there’s only one Nikola Jokic.

    This is going to be another Monte/Gary situation where he’s a good player, but overvalued because of the Jokic factor.

  12. 127phunk

    Malcolm Brogdon would be amazing. Total nugget mentality- but no idea how we make room for his contract tho.

  13. lateblueheron

    As someone who also follows the Pistons, Burks would be a perfect fit, but I don’t see the Pistons declining his option

  14. Dante would be great for you guys. Even got some experience at the three for us this year (don’t do that part though)

  15. Ill-Ad-9199

    Nobody. Braun would be a great 6th man, but he’s a much different player than Brown. I don’t know who else out there on the open market who can create off the dribble like Brown and also provide a well-rounded skillset. I just think if Brown leaves there’s no getting around that it’s a huge loss. We’ll just be a different team and have to spend the regular season figuring out our second unit again. That’ll be a tall order but Malone & Booth did a tremendous job this year so they’re the guys we want on the job this year.

    Would probably try to get Derrick White somehow…

  17. strahinja021

    None of these players can replace a Bruce Brown with 1 leg.

  18. keegshelton

    As a Nuggets and Tennessee Vols fan, Josh Richardson please

  19. muricanmania

    Donte divencenzo is probably the closest we could get to Bruce Brown. The better move is probably to get another PG to handle the ball off the bench and maybe Jae Crowder to handle the defensive assignments

  20. orcsrpeeple2

    I would go for Gary, Monte, or Chris Paul to get a ring before retirement

  21. Umphluv89

    KU fan. Braun is the man. Tough, agile, active, smart. He is not a 6th man for a championship team…yet. He did an exceptional job and stepped the fuck up in big moments but he’s just not ready yet. That three needs to get better, the team defense needs experience and he needs to get more comfortable finishing. Yes, he had great finishes and amazing D, but I assure you that is not going to be consistent like you’ll want. Love the hell out of the man—just give him time.

  22. romayyne

    There is no replacement for the effort and energy he brought. Defense AND offense and not a selfish bone in his body

  23. What is this fucking list? Anyone who is a RFA/UFA? In no world is Torrey Craig (love you TC) a replacement for Brucey B. Same with crowder

  24. LothricKnight753

    Did y’all not hear Moach at the parade. We running that 💩 back!

  25. dinopuppy6

    Doesn’t Bruce have 10? siblings? Sign one of them

  26. BowserBuddy123

    I imagine we’d just go with Braun. Watson was awesome at the end of the year and got no play all season. Braun becomes Brown and Watson becomes Braun. Problem solved!

  27. peaceblaster68

    I don’t like CP3 but if he gets bought out and wants to ring chase and run the second unit that would be good for us

  28. Intelligent-Coast708

    He’d be really tough to replace with one player. Ball-handling, 1-on-1 defense on 1-4 positions, playing off ball (3-pt shooting, cutting & finishing at the rim).

  29. WatersZephyr

    So I’m not a huge basketball jersey guy admittedly, but I really find it hard to not want to buy a Bruce jersey (alongside a Gordon and Jokic jersey eventually). The guys so fun and great to watch. I really hope he comes back and continues his run with this squad. Especially because the championship window looks like it will last a long While with us and this squad.

  30. _GReddY22

    If CP gets bought out, he would be a great fit to lead the second unit, probably start some games and be his best shot to get a ring
