    He’s like the Marwin Gonzalez, Dubon of your team. He has no position on the court, just hoops some nights and sometimes he just a scrub.

    Would much rather have Bruce Brown than Dillon Brooks.

    He can play 1-4, has really improved his shot over the past couple years and can handle the ball. He knows his role and rarely tries to do more.

    Yes!! Not because I think Bruce Brown will take us to the promised land, but it will end the Dillon Brooks delusion.

    If we sign Bruce Brown, which I would be very in favor of, KPJ is gone. Brown is a 2/3.

    B-b-b-but I thought we had to re-sign Jae Sean Tate because it was a "good value"

    If we are meeting with Brown that means we might be pivoting for Brooks….

    Love this guy. Don't know why he'd come to us, he's that guy who does what's needed on a championship team. But if we can get him, great. Terrific role model, strong voice, and he wouldn't interfere with our stars' development in the least.

    Bruce Brown on the night of free agency: "Which one of you chumps is going to give me the Kent Bazemore treatment and over pay me?"

    Kind of a beast. Per 36 min this guy averaged just under 15 pts/5 reb/4 assists/1.5 steals and just under a block per game. He shot about 38% from 3 over the last 2 years. This is a guy who every team would want. High-level role player with 2/3 position versatility. I’d much rather have Brown than Dillon Brooks.

    I am all about upping our defensive IQ tonight. Double B surely brings the D.

    He's easily a better and smarter player than the likes of mediocre delusional player like Brooks

    Bruce Brown is a dog!

    And deserves to get paid. Hopefully Stone can close this deal
