With the Boston Celtics electing to bring on Indiana Pacers floor general Malcolm Brogdon, the team’s rotation will undoubtedly be shaken up a bit in what we hope is a positive manner as fans of the storied franchise. But just how much should the club be shaking up keeping veteran Marcus Smart at the point guard position in what was one of the best lineups in the NBA?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast got together after the news of the Brogdon trade broke, and debated the merits of having the Flower Mound native starting over the Virginia product.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their takes on who ought to be manning the point when the ball is tipped off next season.
