Is it that Bruce Brown going to keep his promise not to favor money this summer? Free agent, the Nuggets’ all-around guard knows that his franchise is blocked by the salary cap to extend it, and at best, he can hope for a season at 7.8 million dollars. A boon for franchises interested in his services, and among them, there would be the Lakers!
Although Los Angeles has other hot topics to deal with like the contract extensions of Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, the denver post reports that the executives could offer him their “mid-level exception”, a contract that would start with a first year at $12 million.
A true Swiss army knife, Brown would be invaluable to any title candidate, and the Lakers saw it in the playoffs after being “swept away” by the Nuggets. Another strong point: his ability to direct the game. At the Nuggets, he is the 3rd player to touch the most balls behind Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. Even to the point of being considered the leader of the “second unit”. A more than interesting profile for the Lakers to relieve LeBron James.
