After the Boston Celtics made their big offseason splash by trading for Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon, how the team’s backcourt hierarchy would work became an immediate if muted subcurrent. Right now, while there are no real stakes or games to be played, everyone is saying the right things. But when the rubber meets the road in the 2022-23 season, will everyone sing the same song?
Winning of course will cure much ill feeling, but will veteran floor general Marcus Smart and new arrival Brogdon get along as well as their team needs them to in their pursuit of Banner 18?
Celtics champ and broadcaster Cedric Maxwell joined NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg, Trenni Kusnierek, and Tom Curran to talk it over on a recent episode of “Early Edition”.
