Brown is a very useful rotation player that will be expiring and sign next contract at a much lower value. He doesn't impact the long-term roster building at all. The issue of that trade not creating enough salary cap room is far bigger than him being overpaid for one season. I think Toronto will get assets for him, if they trade him (or just resign him next season). Of course they will have to eat a poor contract for that, no one is trading a good player and assets for a rotation player.
