Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.

Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.

Michael Scotto: The New York Knicks have signed Bruce Brown to an Exhibit 9 deal, team says. Brown, a 2023 champion, has averaged 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 24.8 minutes per game in eight NBA seasons with the Pistons, Nets, Nuggets, Pacers, Raptors, and Pelicans.

Shortly after Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a two-year deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, veteran guard Bruce Brown emerged as a potential Lakers target. “I think he’s in the mix for the Lakers, a team that has had some interest in him for several years now,” NBA insider Jake Fischer said during a Bleacher Report livestream.

Bennett Durando: David Adelman, Bruce Brown and Jonas Valanciunas spoke to media today after practice. All three were asked by @TroyRenck if Lu Dort's comments to @JoelXLorenzi acknowledging he went "over the limit" mean anything to them. All three said "no" with no further comment.

Johnson, like several other Nuggets players and personnel, has had discussions with Jokić about his horse operation. They respect how much he cares and the lengths he goes during the year to try to follow what is going on with the ones he cares about most. “He gets happy talking about it, for sure,” Johnson said. Veteran guard Bruce Brown has been Jokić’s teammate during two separate stints in Denver and knows that while Jokić’s passion is pretty unique in league circles, it’s something his teammates have embraced about him because they can see what it means to him. “He sometimes shows more emotion out there than he does during the games when he does something crazy,” Brown said. “That shows his passion.”

Quesarito Night got extra spicy. “I wish there was fighting (in basketball),” Nuggets guard/enforcer Bruce Brown said early Saturday evening after a 115-101 home loss to the Houston Rockets. “I wish we didn’t get fined.” “I definitely wanted to cross the line,” Rockets star Kevin Durant told a small group of reporters outside the visiting locker room at Ball Arena. “That’s basketball. That’s in between the lines. Ain’t no respect. Ain’t no love. Nothing. “If people don’t show love to me — they (the Nuggets) cross the line a lot with their physicality, you know what I’m saying?.”

MrBuckBuck: Kevin Durant responds to Bruce Brown saying he crossed the line: “I definitely wanted to cross the line. That’s basketball, ain’t no respect, ain’t no love… That’s part of the game. Some people can talk and play, some people can’t. I had to learn how to talk and play as a player. So, I think Bruce is probably learning the same thing. Q. What did you say? Durant: Nothing that should be talked to the media. He heard, he knows, he understood. I understood. We know what that is. We don't need to tell you about it. Q. And then the three that you hit that celebration down the sideline, just what was going through your mind there? Durant: I mean, somebody in the crowd was talking crazy at me right before that, and so you know everybody enjoyed it. Bruce and Tim Hardaway probably didn't enjoy it, but I enjoy it when we go back and forth, and that's basketball.

Bruce Brown: So after tonight, some words were said that's a little disrespectful. So well, I can't wait to see him next time. Q. What exactly was said? Brown: Next question. Q. So Bruce, to be clear, there was a line that was crossed from just being competitive tonight. Brown: As a man, there's certain things you don't say to another man. Q. Does a game like this get you excited for a playoff atmosphere? Brown: Of course. Of course. Walking off the court, I was asking when we going to play them again. I don't know when that is, but I can't wait. Q. To be clear, as far as whenever he said something that crossed the line, was it when or before you kind of stared him down after that bucket? Brown: He said it before to someone else and then he said it to me. So, it was before and after. I wish there was fighting. I wish we didn't get fined cuz would have had some fun.
