The Lakers have a deal to send Caron Butler and another player, likely Chucky Atkins, to the Wizards for the first pick in the 2001 draft, the Los Angeles Times reported in Thursday's editions.
Neither L.A. general manager Mitch Kupchak nor Washington president Ernie Grunfeld commented to the paper.
The Wizards could take Devean George instead of Atkins. Brown's stay in Washington has been checkered.
He averaged 7 points and 4.9 rebounds in 42 games last season, slightly below his four-year career averages of 7.7 points and 5.5 rebounds. He has yet to fulfill the potential that made him the first high school player to go first in an NBA draft.
He was suspended for most of the postseason after missing a practice and Game 4 of the Wizards' first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls.
