Though Brogdon brings his experience running the Pacers and has his way of leading an organization, he says he just wants to fit into what makes the Celtics successful. “These guys are proven winners at a championship level,” Malcolm Brogdon said. “I’m hoping to be one of the pieces that can help them get over that hump and win a championship.”

This Brad Stevens guy might actually know what he’s doing. Gallo at $6M, Brogdon for a 1st. Losing no core pieces while adding two good players that address team needs is a huge win for the Celtics. – 3:18 PM

Remember when I said the Lakers should have given a bunch of their minimum signings a second year just in case they wanted to use them in trades?
Celtics just got Malcolm Brogdon in part because they had three minimum signings they could put in a deal to match salary. – 2:34 PM

The Pacers have been trying to trade Malcolm Brogdon for months now. Glut of PGs on the market made it near impossible. Once Brunson to the Knicks happened, they were left with no real suitors and a package of a young guy (Nesmith) and a pick was the best they were gonna get. – 2:22 PM

Giving Brogdon that contract extension seemed questionable at the time, but it had to be a positive factor in the trade to Boston. If he had one year left his value would have been diminished. Always good to lock up assets. – 2:16 PM

Very quick thoughts on the Brogdon to BOS deal:
-BOS gave up very little to get him
-Brogdon will miss time. So will Smart. BOS has depth to cover that w/ White & PP
-$17.1M TPE is still there til July 18, but I don’t think it gets used now. There’s tax and then there’s TAX – 2:14 PM

Pacers had to trade either Brogdon or Hield given their status as starters and contracts. Hard to imagine they could have done better for Brogdon. Nesmith is intriguing. Will be interesting to see how Brogdon fits in Boston if he stays healthy. – 2:06 PM

“I’m excited, man,” Brogdon told The Athletic in a phone interview Friday. “We have a chance to win the championship, so I’m excited to join the family.” -via The Athletic / July 1, 2022
But at this point, he’s already been a featured player on an NBA team and he’s already gotten the contract. Now his priority is just to be healthy and get a ring. “I’m looking to win a championship, that’s actually it,” Brogdon said. “In the past, I’ve worried about stats and numbers and all that. I’m going to Boston and not worrying about that.” -via The Athletic / July 1, 2022
