Raptors to trade Bruce Brown?

We finally got confirmation on how big James is exactly. He measured at 6-foot-1 1/2 without shoes, with a 6-7 1/4 wingspan and an 8-2 1/2 standing reach. It’s important to remember that colleges list players’ heights in shoes. While the Trojans added an extra inch to Bronny’s height, they didn’t drastically oversell it. On top of that, NBA teams were working under the assumption that James was in the ballpark of 6-2 anyway. James’ standing reach puts him much more in the ballpark of point guard as opposed to that of a combo or shooting guard. Past players to post an 8-2 1/2 standing reach at the combine include Bruce Brown, Collin Sexton, Terry Rozier and Avery Bradley. James is a bit stronger and stouter than most of those players. -via New York Times / May 14, 2024

Magic Johnson: For the Lakers to have any chance to beat the Nuggets this time around, the guards have to bring their A-game. Last year, the Nuggets’ guard trio of Bruce Brown, KCP, and Jamal Murray were dominant! The Lakers’ key to win will be DLO, Reaves, Vincent, and Dinwiddie outperforming -via Twitter @MagicJohnson / April 19, 2024

Josh Lewenberg: Ujiri, asked about Trent (UFA this summer) and Brown (team option): “I think we’re going to continue to assess that as we go. We had really good exit meetings with Bruce and Gary… I think they do have special talents that they bring. We’ll see how the market assesses that.” -via Twitter @JLew1050 / April 17, 2024
