Bruce Brown & Gary Trent Jr. Temperature Check | Will both guards be on the team this coming season?

In Episode 1651, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a temperature check on where the Toronto Raptors intend to go with Bruce Brown Jr.  and Gary Trent Jr. as Brown's 2024-25 option decision looms, and Trent gets closer to unrestricted free agency. Off the top, Sean resets the stage and takes stock of the latest reporting on Brown and Trent, and digs into why it seems more likely than not that the Raptors will forego having cap space and pick up Bruce Brown's option with the intent to trade him at some point, while also bringing Trent back on a new deal to stay in Toronto. Next, Sean runs through why the weak free agent class might make this decision for the Raptors, and some of the less than stellar options that make the status quo the preferred route. Lastly, Sean tries to identify teams with the matching contracts, draft picks and positional need that could see them enter their names into the Brown sweepstakes, if there even is one.
