NBA Rumors: Eastern Conference Team Linked To Standout Denver Nuggets Role Player

 

The New York Knicks had a fantastic campaign in 2023, pushing the Miami Heat all the way to six games in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, and with a bonafide star in Jalen Brunson, this is a team that's clearly ready to take the next step.

Many people believe the way to do this is to acquire a big name star for a lot of assets, but there is other ways to take the next step, and according to an Eastern Conference executive, the team should now be targeting the Denver Nuggets' Bruce Brown. 

An Eastern Conference executive told @SeanDeveney,

“Denver probably is not letting Bruce Brown go… but that would be the ideal piece for the Knicks. [Tom Thibodeau] would love him.”

It's highly unlikely that Denver let Brown go, given how crucial he's been to this run, but if he somehow becomes available and the Nuggets don't match offers, the Knicks should do everything they can to bring him in to join this young, athletic lineup.
