NBA Trade Deadline Buzz: Bruce Brown Jr. Attracts Interest from Knicks, Lakers and Jazz

Bruce Brown Jr., initially part of the Pacers’ package for Pascal Siakam is attracting interest from teams like the Knicks, Lakers and Jazz before the NBA trade deadline. The Jazz has discussed a potential deal with the Raptors offering Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji in return for Brown. The Raptors are reportedly seeking a first round pick for Brown indicating their stance on potential trades.

If Olynyk is traded to Toronto there’s a possibility the Raptors might keep him given his contributions and spacing abilities. Other teams including Philadelphia, Miami and Golden State have shown interest in Olynyk. Andre Drummond is another player drawing interest with the Bulls indicating they would require multiple second round picks for him.

The Lakers are reportedly eyeing players from the Brooklyn Nets including Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie and Royce O’Neale. The Pelicans have been seeking rim protecting big men targeting players like Jarrett Allen, Wendell Carter, Isaiah Stewart, Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela in trade talks with the Pistons and Hawks. Trade discussions between the Pelicans and Hawks involving Dejounte Murray have had little traction.
