Hasn't been much of a scorer but hopefully that would pick up here. Everything else he offers would fit perfectly. Gotta think the Celtics would match the MLE though.
Bruce Brown would be nice. Wish he was a little bigger but at least he does play larger than you would think. The long arms help. Just from a contract perspective it might make sense to pursue him first since he dictates where he goes
And Harrison Barnes has to be in the conversation. Would be a super pickup for the MLE if he gets priced out
I agree with Bruce Brown. His size is a little concerning. Really nice glue guy though, but it would still leave us needing another body. But I guess if we did sign him Bullock is gone and maybe Hardaway.
I have no idea what Brown is going to get. He is going to have a ton of MLE suitors. And maybe some suitors from the cap teams. I thought Denver was going to be tough to beat for him because they could have a wink wink deal with him after this year and he obviously fit in really well there. But they do have Braun and also drafted Peyton Watson last year who was an upside pick that they supposedly like. Then they drafted three wings in the draft this year. They were older draft picks as well. So maybe they may not want to pay 13-14 million to Brown after this season with extensions from their wings coming up.
