It's possible the ask is astronomic like Monahan/Bennett but the possibility they're ok with drafting Brown and picking up more assets / shedding salary is also plausible.

I'm not sure what Brown has to do with the reports they are looking for a top centre other than the fact he is potentially their back-up plan if they cannot land a centre in a trade, but trading down to #6 for him is a risk because hasn't there also been speculation that Vancouver likes Brown?
And Bennett for #3 isn't what I would call an astronomical ask, I wouldn't do it because I think it is more important to have centre depth, but that would be pretty fair value.
