Toronto is expected to exercise the $23 million team option on Bruce Brown, league sources told HoopsHype, echoing a report from the Toronto Star. Doing so will make Brown a noteworthy trade chip in the final year of his contract for contending playoff-caliber teams to monitor.

Other noteworthy raptors related stuff from article:
Dillon Jones has several upcoming workouts, including the Pacers, Hornets, Bucks, Celtics, Raptors, and Spurs.
Would not look too much into who is mocked to Toronto in this article, it is just a group POLL mock draft with actual relevant information scattered around for teams. I honestly don’t see Raptors drafting a center and focusing more on guards and wings. Also rest of the mock is kind of weird too tbh
Team option is picked up more often than not. Wonder if Houston is gonna pick up the 40m option for Fred next year
Does this mean Gary’s gone?
prepare for two borderline out the league players with shit contracts and late 1st rounder for bruce brown
Made zero sense not to trade this guy at the deadline.
Funny how value in the nba works huh? To a defending champion, 22 million is too much for Bruce Brown. But to a contender, he is seen as a valuable piece in the final year of his contract?
Ok, I looked up his salary structure with the nuggets and it seemed like the nuggets could not offer him more than 7.8 million to stay and the pacers vastly overpaid for his rights.
Did anyone really doubt this?
This would all but assure that the Raptors won’t be under the cap and wont be making any big additions the free agent route aside from using the MLE. The OG/Siakam dream is dead lol.
$23 million on Brown to then use as a trade chip. I must be watching the wrong league / sport. Bruce was poor at best for the Raptors… why would any team wanna play through the nose for poor ?
Bruce Brown was a key player in the Denver Nuggets championship run. I think they would have repeated if he was still there. Just give a few relief minutes to Jokic here and there.
