(Bulpett) Celtics Shutting Down Malcolm Brogdon Trade Inquiries: Rival Execs
Brogdon staying put?
Rival execs tell @SteveBHoop that the @celtics have rebuffed trade calls on Malcolm Brogdon.
One exec said: "They said he’s a valued member of their team, and that’s where it ended. We didn't get anywhere."

I mean did people actually think we were going to trade him and Smart in the same offseason
PP gonna get some good playing time this season. Brogdon gonna be a beast in the playoffs
Ya no chance we do unless we somehow bring in a better guard which obviously ain’t happenin
We have two playable guards for the playoffs so I just don’t see how it makes sense to move Malc
Brogdon’s injury and tunnel vision/defense in the playoffs are both concerning factors, but he still is a really good player and a 6MOY who you’re probably not gonna upgrade on in a trade at this point.
You just gotta hope his shooting sustains and he’s able to be more of playmaking point guard as he’s flashed before in Indy as opposed to a microwave scorer like he was last year.
I think we’re all just very unsure because we’re shifting team identity with new players playing major roles along with injury concerns. But the talent and potential is still massive. This is Brad’s gamble, just gotta wait and see if it works.
Bulpett has been a nothingburger since Brad became GM. I don’t *really* believe this means anything
Um that would make our guard rotation frightening so ya ofc they are
Hes fine as as a 6man with DWhite starting and PP playing spot mins if needs to be.
Much prefer to have JB and JT at 2 and 3, I feel like thats still their best position in terms of matchups
Could mean one of two things.
1. They think he’ll be healthy and ready to play like last year where he was one of our best and most impactful players.
2. He has no trade value because of his injury/timeline/contract so there’s no market worth it.
Brogdon is a very good player. Always has been. It’s just health with him. If he was healthy and the Celtics knew he would stay healthy, he’d be playing 30 plus minutes and dropping 20 a game.
But..you never know.
Brogdons elbow must be ok. Brogdon>Smart. A spark off the bench is important.
Makes sense. He’s only valuable for contenders. Contenders don’t have anything that would make it worth it for us, and we don’t want to improve any contenders.
He’s either gonna be a valuable piece for us or we’ll use his salary as part of a big trade down the line.
1. He has tunnel vision.
2. Reluctantly passes to Tatum.
3. He is a locker room lawyer.
I hope they trade him.
