Spears in a story published Monday, Brown admitted that the Raptors, and then later New Orleans, perhaps weren't the best fit for him at that point in his career.Brown has now played for six NBA teams in seven seasons, but was perhaps best known for being a key bench piece on the 2023 champion Denver Nuggets team.After leaving the Nuggets in free agency, he signed with the Indiana Pacers, who eventually traded him to Toronto as part of a package deal for Pascal Siakam.Brown spent parts of two seasons in Toronto before eventually being shipped off to the New Orleans Pelicans in another blockbuster deal centred around Brandon Ingram."I ended up being traded to teams where they were rebuilding and not really in a position to win a championship.

A substantial development proposed for a pocket of low-rise housing across the street from Toronto's High Park could see 11 houses torn down to make way for a pair of towers with unique, curving exteriors.Developer Elysium has assembled the group of houses fronting Oakmount Rd. and Mountview Ave., just north of Bloor St. W. and northwest of the TTC's High Park subway station.Elysium hopes to gain approval to rezone and raze the site with a plan to construct a large-scale rental development with towers rising 41 and 39 storeys in place of the current homes.The plan features a striking design from Teeple Architects that would strongly contrast the expanse of beige-brown 20th-century apartment towers that dominate the local skyline, boasting curved facades clad in a distinctive patterned treatment.With heights as tall as almost 145 metres, the towers would be significantly taller than existing apartment towers in the neighbourhood.
