The Toronto Raptors certainly took calls for the 27-year-old guard at the trade deadline. They had conversations with the New York Knicks about Brown before New York opted to go in another direction. Had there been a first-round pick available to Toronto without bad long-term money attached to it, the Raptors would have taken it. But that rumored offer Toronto had been looking for at the trade deadline never materialized.
. Toronto's plan would be to pick up that option and find a home for the 6-foot-4 guard presumably on team looking to expand their playoff rotation for next season.Toronto has to guarantee Brown's salary for next season and therefore any team acquiring Brown that doesn't have cap space or a trade exception big enough to absorb Brown's contract must find matching salary to send the Raptors.
For New York, that probably makes a Brown trade less appealing. All the Knicks players making roughly the same amount as Brown are as good, if not better than Brown, rendering a deal essentially useless.
