Wing concerns persist as Brown resists lineup change

Brown has resisted a bold lineup change, citing Bridges’ track record, while saying Shamet and McBride’s two-way play is squeezing Bridges’ minutes and could affect Hart. Against Cleveland, Bridges played 17 minutes and Anunoby shot 3-for-9; these results reinforce concerns but remain a small-sample snapshot. A proposed Bridges trade for Strus and Derrick Jones Jr. is hypothetical, not reported trade activity.
