The Lakers have been linked to Brown but are hesitant to part ways with their 2029 first-round pick because they don't view the veteran guard as the final piece of their championship puzzle.

The Raptors have sought at least one first-round pick for Brown. 

Dejounte Murray remains the Lakers' priority, though talks involving D'Angelo Russell, Jalen Hood-Schifino and their 2029 first-round pick have stalled because the Hawks aren't willing to take on Russell's contract.
