If the Toronto Raptors do plan on trading Bruce Brown this summer it likely means Gary Trent Jr. will be back with the organization next year
Gary Trent Jr.'s future with the Toronto Raptors may be tied directly to what happens with Bruce Brown.
Toronto is reportedly expected to pick up Brown's team option for next season and look to trade the 27-year-old guard at some point early this offseason,. If that does indeed happen, it'll essentially leave the Raptors without an avenue to get meaningful cap space this summer.Without letting Brown walk, the Raptors would have no ability to replace Trent this offseason should he opt to sign with a new team in free agency.
Toronto could have been in a similar position last summer with Trent who ultimately decided to pick up his player option and return to the Raptors for this past season. It was a decision that will likely prove costly for the 25-year-old sharpshooter who saw his role diminish in Toronto this past season.Grayson Allen signed a four-year, $70 million extension that could provide a good comparison for Trent. Donte DiVincenzo signed for four years, $46.9 million last offseason.
If Toronto, however, opts to decline Brown's option and let him head into free agency, it wouldn't be surprising if the organization allows Trent to do the same. The Raptors can clear up nearly $30 million in cap space if both Trent and Brown leave in free agency this summer.
