As the deadline draws closer, rumors are starting to abound, especially for the Lakers and the Knicks. Both teams want to strengthen themselves, and it turns out that they have the same target, according to a journalist.
The market is slowly starting to heat up in the NBA as February approaches. After the Knicks trade for OG Anunoby, or that of Pascal Siakam, we expect other movements in the coming days. Dejounte Murray is likely leaving the Hawks, but the Siakam trade should still have some consequences.
Lakers and Knicks on the same player
In question ? The Bruce Brown situation. Barely arrived in Toronto, the former Pacers player already sees himself leaving the franchise to join an ambitious team in the playoffs. He openly flirted with the Knicks this weekend, but the Lakers also have an interest in him according to Brett Siegel. It looks like we’re heading into a duel to sign him.
Two teams in both conferences have emerged as serious trade suitors for Raptors swingman Bruce Brown, league sources tell @ClutchPoints late Sunday evening.
The New York Knicks in the East and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West.
New story with intel to come tomorrow.

Active, the rejected offer from the Lakers to the Warriors before the deadline revealed!
Two teams from both conferences have emerged as serious trade partners for Raptors wing Bruce Brown. The Knicks in the East and the Lakers in the West.
This news may directly concern Evan Fournier, since his presence will probably be necessary for the trade to work. For the Angelinos, on the other hand, it is the way to recover a player capable of scoring and doing a bit of everything on the floor.
It now remains to know the price of the Raptors, who could be greedy in order to sell Brown. After all, the Knicks and Lakers aren’t necessarily the only ones interested in his services.
He’s a Knick

It’s a Knick
Capable of great things on the floor, Bruce Brown should not stay very long in Toronto. Several teams already want to recruit him, while we are perhaps heading towards a duel between Knicks and Lakers. It promises.
