I say they don’t do the deal. Why would they get him and trade him for around the same pick or worse after only one year. I’m not sure we need him anyway.
I think there's still need for a quality key back though, not as much as an elite mid obviously.
Brown is 31 this year and Carlisle is 28 and coming off back surgery.
Battle has looked promising since going back but still yet to prove a lot, Austin looks like a disappointment and Clav wasn't exactly an early draft pick, hasn't shown a lot yet and is suited more to the third tall role.
King would take a couple of years to develop but would hopefully be right up and running by the time Brown and Carlisle are near the end.
