The Hornets waived Brown on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was dealt to the club to make the Karl-Anthony Towns trade possible. After being waived, Brown is now expected to join the club's G League affiliate -- the Greensboro Swarm -- for the 2024-25 campaign.

The Knicks traded Brown, DaQuan Jeffries and Duane Washington, along with three second-round picks to the Hornets in exchange for James Nnaji to help complete the three-team trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York and Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown presumably is included in this deal as a sign-and-trade, as the Knicks didn't extend him a two-way qualifying offer earlier this offseason. Brown made just eight regular-season appearances for New York in 2023-24, and he will likely compete for a regular-season roster spot in Charlotte.

The Knicks did not extend a two-way qualifying offer to Brown (concussion) on Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown played on a two-way contract with the Knicks last season but made just eight appearances at the NBA level. He's likely to have a lukewarm market in free agency.

Brown (illness) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was sidelined by an illness while in the G League, but it appears he's cleared the aliment and will suit up Tuesday. However, he's yet to appear in an NBA contest this season, and that likely won't change Tuesday.

The Knicks converted Brown's Exhibit 10 deal to a two-way contract Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is in line to split time between the Knicks and Westchester Knicks of the G League during the upcoming 2023-24 season. His last NBA action dates back to the 2021-22 campaign when he averaged 1.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 22 contests across stops in Dallas and Philly.

Brown agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old played with the Knicks during Summer League and earned an Exhibit 10 contract after he averaged 19.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.8 blocks in four games. Brown is a long shot to make the Knicks' final roster, but he'll likely be retained by the organization and start 2023-24 in the G League with the Westchester Knicks.

Brown recorded 27 points (10-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 97-89 Summer League win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has been an obvious standout for the Knicks during the Summer League. Coming into Friday, Brown was averaging 17.3 points, 6.0 rebounds 1.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in three appearances. He has made a really strong case for a training camp invite.

Brown posted nine points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 win over Rio Grande.

EDGE Analysis

Brown had modest production during the Blue Coats' championship win, but he was an integral part of the team's postseason run. Across 51 G League appearances, the 26-year-old averaged 13.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Brown notched 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 134-120 win over Rio Grande.

EDGE Analysis

Brown posted a double-double for a second consecutive game and for the fourth time over his past five appearances. The Blue Coats are one win away from being named the 2022-23 G League champs, and Brown's work on the glass is a big reason why.

Brown scored 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 101 FT) and grabbed 12 rebounds in 37 minutes during Sunday's 108-94 win over Long Island.

EDGE Analysis

Brown notched his third double-double over his past four appearances to help Delaware advance to the G League Showcase Cup Championship. He figures to play a prominent role during the three-game series.
