During Brown’s playoff run with the Nuggets, he averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals with splits of 51.1 percent shooting from the field, 31.6 percent shooting from the three-point line and 85.7 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

The Denver Nuggets aren't that far removed from being NBA champions. They were hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy less than two years ago, but they have lost some major players from that title run.

The Toronto Raptors are "very motivated" to deal veteran wing Bruce Brown before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
