If the San Antonio Spurs want to improve next season, they should look into adding some solid veteran talent. Jeje Gomez of Pounding the Rock suggested a mock deal that would see them send Devonte’ Graham and the 35th pick to the Portland Trail Blazers for Malcolm Brorgdon.
“If more enticing options don’t pan out, the Spurs could call the Blazers and ask about Malcolm Brogdon,” Gomez wrote. “Portland has young guards who need minutes and a surprisingly expensive roster for a rebuilding team, so they might be amenable to part with Brogdon if it means cutting some salary, especially with Brogdon’s stock arguably at an all-time low following a season of injuries in Portland. The Spurs would be using their cap space to absorb part of his contract but Brogdon would be a tall table-setter who can play both guard spots, hit threes and offer a veteran voice in the locker room.
“At worst, he backs up Tre Jones and leaves in the offseason, when his contract expires. At best, he regains the level he showed in past stops and is either flipped at the deadline or retained next offseason for a lower price.”
Brogdon’s playmaking and ball-handling would undoubtedly make life easier for Victor Wembanyama.
