Malcolm Brogdon was the guard the Celtics were initially supposed to trade for Kristaps Pozingis.
As you likely know by now though, Brogdon didn’t make his way to the Clippers in what would’ve been a three-team trade. Instead, Boston kept Brogdon and traded Marcus Smart to Memphis in order to still acquire Porzingis from Washington in a separate three-team trade.
Now, Brogdon remains on the Celtics and is in a weird spot where he knows he was heavily involved in trade talks and appeared to be on the verge of getting traded.
Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens admitted that Borgdon was put in a hard spot after what happened late Wednesday night.
