Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens continues to make a name for himself as an NBA executive with his trade for former Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon after having dealt for the team’s newest floor general with only reserves Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan, and a top-12 protected 2023 first-round draft pick.
Just one offseason removed from swapping out the contract for Kemba Walker in exchange for veteran big man Al Horford — a key part of Boston’s postseason success — Stevens is establishing himself as among the league’s most crafty traders.
Has the Celtics president made a bad deal yet? And just how good was the Brogdon trade? The host of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast Adam Kaufman and Celtics Blog’s Keith Smith recently debated these questions on a recent episode.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their perspectives on Brad “Even” Stevens.
